SACRAMENTO A U.S. judge on Monday upheld Californias near-total ban on carrying guns in public even as protests in other states have seen counter-demonstrators armed with weapons.
U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller denied a review of a 2017 federal appeals court decision that upheld the law, which bans carrying concealed weapons in most urban areas and permits open-carry of weapons only if someone believes that a person is in immediate danger and law enforcement has failed to respond, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Sounds kinda, I don’t know, all infringee and stuff.

I looked it up. Kimmy Mueller was appointed by Obama. Nothing more needs to be said.
An armed society is a polite society. If this thing holds, a few places are gonna get a lot less polite.
fer sure... i will allow the state to have a preferrence, like we prefer you to open carry, but how will we know if you are concealed carrying...
how did we get here... oh, we let them.
BLM is proud to announce our new spinoff organization Cracker Mobs Matter! With CMM you can rest assured that we stand with the safety of those exercising their fundamental human right to burn down your black neighborhood without fear of reprisal from Uncle Toms or others who might resist them. Yes, CMM is a new mostly peaceful quality organization from the people who brought you mostly still standing cities!
If you’re in ‘immediate danger’ do you have to tell the attacker ‘hang on a minute... let me wait to see if law enforcement is gonna respond’ before you’re good with this ruling?
Open carry should be and is legal..but I find open carry a bit vulgar. It freaks people out and lacks discretion. I find conceal a better option IMHO.
Surely BLM and Antifa will obey. Or they may just show up at the judges house. Would be a shame.
“...other states have seen counter-demonstrators armed with weapons.”
So, AP never saw all the gun-toting BLM and antifa demonstrators carrying, aiming at bystanders and passing cars, shooting in the air?
Enemedia at work. Our MSM are now blatant Domestic Enemies, Enemies Within, Enemies of America.
They must be stopped.
This ruling infringes our right to BEAR arms as perotecred by the 2ndA and incorporated against the States by SCOTUS in McDonald vs Chicago 2010.
We dont require the states permission to exercise our right. I hope this can be appealed.
I guess that part about ‘bearing arms’ got edited out the constitution because one judge says so.
We have the beloved Gipper to thank for the original law when he was Gobernador.
how did we get here... oh, we let them.
There is nothing vulgar about open carry. If someone is freaked out by it, they're the one with a problem and they should seek help. There are people freaked out about people wearing a MAGA hat. Again, their problem, not the wearer's problem. There are people freaked out about others eating meat. Does that mean we should stop eating meat in restaurants? I'm not going to change my lifestyle to suit some sensitive snowflake's feelings.
Why would the court’s ruling on a CA law be binding in those other states?
Maybe only if they pass a law similar to CA’a law being ruled on?
Meanwhile, the original Mercury News article is not totally correct in their wordings of current CA law. So don’t come to any conclusions from their article.
Problem is that most people (cops included) do not know current CA gun law. Gun law changes continually, is written confusingly, is interpreted liberally, is applied capriciously, and is confused with everyday speech terms by normal citizens.
Oh I hope I did not offend any citizens; hard to find a normal citizen in CA.
Most every gun owner has a different interpretation of CA gun law, especially when new laws are proposed or reviewed like this one. So I stay under the radar and wait, and don’t assume anything.
However, know that CA Dem legislators are working hard to ‘eliminate the loopholes’ in current law. Might as well define each gun and ammo as a “Loophole”, and eliminate that! That is their unimpeded goal.
This is a very misleading article, from the AP as usual, as she did not uphold the law, she denied a review. In other words, she didn’t do anything, she passed the buck to a case in Hawaii and wouldn’t work the case in California. So, she didn’t uphold anything but invited further court cases already on the dockets. Lies, lies, lies...
