A federal appeals court this week sided with California Attorney General Kamala Harris and declined to rehear a combined case that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a firearm for self-defense in public.

An en banc rehearing by an 11-judge panel of the court in June reversed the decisions, holding that the right of a member of the public to carry a concealed firearm in public is not, and never has been, protected by the Second Amendment
This did not give any consideration that CCW has and is “May Issue,” to mostly not issue at the same time CA has pretty much banned open carry of long guns and handguns.
This is tantamount to a lot of no carry for most of Californians. If we get a lib majority this will stand.
My once great State can go in the toilet as they so seem to want.
A member of the public to carry on as a part-time chronicler is not, and never has been, protected by the First Amendment
There are still illiterate who think “militia” means “THE GOVERNMENT”.
IOW ALL the bill of rights is about individual rights EXCEPT the second which is about the right of the government AGAINST the people.
Keep in mind judges HATE individualism. Judges are dependent on becoming the ONLY source of resolving conflicts.
The Ninth Circuit Court once again doing what it does so well.
Getting it wrong.
Hopefully the pockets of these folks are deep, and the SCOTUS will have another chance to overrule the Ninth.
certainly gangsters and thugs will abide by strict california rules. I will fee extremely safe if I ever visit.
CA Attorney General Kamala Harris, islamist facilitator and all around Stalinist to be elevated to the US senate in the Fall election.
You’re not the only one. There are lots of us who’ll vote with their feet!
Another example of political cronyism. “May Issue” leaves the decision whether someone may carry to the discretion of the local sheriff or police department. While a permit is valid anywhere in the state, a citizen may only apply for a permit in the jurisdiction in which they reside (or, under some circumstances, where they work). There is no statewide database of permit holders, and no statewide standard for what a permit looks like or declares. It is all up to the Sheriff.
There is no objective standard under which an applicant will be granted a permit. Judges, LEO, Politicians, Political Donors and High Profile Celebrities are more likely to obtain a permit than a middle class battered woman who has been threatened with death by a violent felon gang member.
Residents of rural counties where the sheriffs issue permits to all who ask can carry concealed in the counties that limit permits, setting up the oddity whereby non-residents have more rights than residents. Kern County residents with a permit can carry in downtown Los Angeles or Long Beach or Stockton while residents of these areas are deprived. California leaves no avenue by which a person can lawfully exercise the natural right to armed self defense. If you can’t get a permit, you cannot carry anywhere. If you can get a permit, you can carry everywhere.
