“This will be appealed to the SCOTUS, so it's not really time to pop the corks.”

I don't see how, since the County won the case, even though the 9th incorporated the 2nd Amendment.

Depends on the other party. There is always the possibility of appeal. The county may have won this round, but what the 9th does is clear the way for other municipalities in other states to deny gun shows on their properties.

It's a double edged sword. The 9th is saying one thing in denying a legitimate business from conducting that business on possibly the only venue large enough, and still saying 'sure, the 2nd is incorporated'

Now, if the show operator appeals to the SCOTUS for relief, one of few things happen. The SCOTUS agrees to hear arguments, defers it, or overturns the 9th Circuit.

It's possible under the overturn to keep the incorporation, but generally, the 9th has lost out almost everytime a case has made it to the SCOTUS.

I'll wait and see what the next step in the process is before I get too excited.
