"I'm not sure if we have a clean conflict..."

Here is one for consideration from the 9th Circuit Appeals ---for a California case where a man owning and operating a responding security alarm business was denied a concealed weapons permit ---

Quote from case-- "We follow our sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment is a right held by the states, and does not protect the possession of a weapon by a private citizen. We conclude that Hickman can show no legal injury, and therefore lacks standing to bring this action. "

I just read the above case, and shook my head at the "reasoning" of this judge. We will not be again a free society until we find a way to rid ourselves of intellectually dishonest judges who use the power of the bench to deliberately misstate the law by which they must decide subsequent cases.
