This was a lone Federal Judge. This undoubtedly will be expedited to the 9th Circuit Appeals Court where it will most likely decide that Constitutional “Intermediate” scrutiny was incorrectly applied, and find a “Rational Basis,” whatever bizarre one they come up with, should be applied and uphold the harsh laws. After all, it’s the 9th Circuit.

I don't think so - her logic was stone cold sober. She merely pointed out that without either concealed or open carry the 2nd is functionally negated, so the court has to choose which one it wants to restrict. Since, historically, restrictions came with concealed carry, that meant that restrictions on open carry were - by definition - violations of the 2nd, and then ruled on those grounds. It's sweet, actually - the way the law is SUPPOSED to be argued.

It should be...but the 9th Circuit in California is the most liberal, anti gun Appeals Court of the 10 in the USA. Anything anti Constitutional can and does happen there.
