Until then, does this mean that anywhere in the Ninth Circuit, including California, I could open carry my handgun, presuming it is legal in California?

It would seem to me that, based on this ruling, open-carry is now legal everywhere in the Ninth Circuit. But common sense is rarely useful when trying to figure out US law. And who knows, even as I type this some higher judge might be issuing a stay of the ruling.
It would be nice if a lawyer Freeper would opine on this. But anyway, I sure wouldn’t want to test out this ruling...not just yet.
No. Cali doesn’t recognize federal law.
