9th circuit actually got one right?
Well, that explains the weather. Hell’s froze over.

an amazingly intelligent result from a really awful court...
but... still...
all this should be avoided....
“,...the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!” (emphasis mine)
why are we even having to respond to attempted licensing, background checking, restricting.... all sorts of krapo that is patently UNCONSTITUTIONAL entoto!?
The 9th circus decided that? Wow.
Incredible.
The most liberal federal circuit in the country.
So the state and local governments have to tolerate open carry or freely grant concealed carry permits. I predict cognitive dissonance, brain freeze and payment of lots of 42 USC 1983 attorney fees.
I am shocked that California did something right for a change, meanwhile, on twitter, Piers Morgan(Who has armed guards protecting his Beverly Hills Mansion) is freaking out LOL..love it when Commie loons have a meltdown
“The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit handed gun rights advocates a major victory today by invalidating San Diego, California’s requirement that conceal-carry permits only be issued to those gun owners who have a “good cause” to carry a concealed gun in public. According to local officials, “one’s personal safety is not considered good cause.”
We have the same bs up in Northern California. Due to the increases and constant threat of criminal attacks in many of my fly fishing areas, I don’t go to those places any more.
Then come two more problems:
1. C&C permits are only granted for the county you live in. I seldom fish, hike or kayak in remote parts of my county. So if I ever got a permit, it would only be valid in my county not in the many other areas I would like fly fish, hike or kayak in.
2. Here in my county, even without a traffic violation, I can’t get a C&C permit for my personal safety, my wife’s or any grand kid with me.
It has been suggested that I get a waterproof pistol and carry it in plain sight when, I fly fish, hike, kayak or even drive in some areas.
Do criminals need a good cause statement to conceal carry?
There are still draconian “may issue” states out there?
I wonder how many years this case has been moving through the judicial system?
I’m about half way through the ruling. This opens up a very interesting avenue to achieve a sort of backdoor Constitutional carry; if the state must allow either concealed carry OR open carry and it elects a preference for concealed carry, as CA has, then it could be argued that gun permits must be issued free of charge to the indigent.
Oh cynical me; a few weeks ago a CCW holder from Florida drove his car up the east cost going through a state where a highway patrolman pulled him over for no apparent reason. The officer obviously checked the Florida CCW registry and saw the man held a permit to carry. This cop asked the man if he had any firearms in his car, which the man answered no. The cop then told him to exit the car and as another patrol unit arrived on scene, the cops starting searching the mans car looking for firearms. The man fortunately left his pistol at home, otherwise he would have been arrested by these cops and would have had his firearm confiscated.
I don't believe for a minute that I am alone when I say I am very distrusting of cops, judges and politicians so I proceed accordingly.
9th Circus rules in favor of the individual right to bear arms? Pigs are flying, people. Look up.
Even the Ninth Circuit knows that the Second Amendment deserves as much respect as the rest of the Bill of Rights. Definitely a pleasant surprise.
“Good Cause” req. always forgets that a person rarely knows, specifically, when they will need a gun and hence, have “good cause.”
Very good news. Now the idjits in Sacramento will think of something new to keep people from having guns.
