A divided federal appeals court in California ruled Thursday that there is no constitutional right to carry a concealed handgun, adding to a division among the lower courts on gun rights outside the home. By a vote of 7-4, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a California law that requires gun owners to show a good reason before they can get a license to carry a concealed handgun. The protection of the Second Amendment  whatever the scope of that protection may be  simply does not extend to the carrying of concealed firearms in public by members of the general public. The court declined to say whether the Constitution protects openly carrying a gun in public. It said that question was not at issue in the case.
NOT Kansas.
the communists want to disarm Americans, leaving us defenseless against the rest of their tyranny they’re working to impose on us
but no court order can revoke our Constitutionally-recognized inalienable rights, so this will have zero practical impact in the real world on the streets
ps: since OPEN carry is the best imaginable deterent to brutal assaults and other violent crimes against us, the commies want to try to end open carry...to enable their commie/IslamoNazi thug gangs... you know, like we saw in Ferguson (rehersal for larger cities across America) and in San Jose
Not Conceal.
Nor Texas
So... That means open carry is just fine, right?
In CA CCW permits are “May Issue” and OC is prohibited in most of the state. Californians either can’t or nearly can’t exercise their 2A rights.
This country was formed by armed citizens taking a stand against tyrannical scofflaws, and the unless We the People remember & embrace that, We will NEVER rid ourselves of the feral grifters and thugs that have created an unsafe environment in our country, state and locale.
“The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” ~ John Locke 1690
If Americans do not have the ability to defend the Rights endowed to them by their Creator, FULLSTOP, then those Rights have been stolen by CRIMINALS.
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience. ~ John Locke 1690
With the American people fed up with what is going on in Washington DC, we now more than ever need to emphasize and expose the communist takeover of America by so many traitors in our government(s) and elsewhere, including the media.
Then let the tribunals begin and let these type of judges, and others, face the consequences of being an enemy to our Constitution. It needs to happen.

Open carry is illegal in California.
The Ninth very deliberately ignored that fact in order to make this ruling.
Thanks for adding the link and not pulling it from Breaking News until one was found. Much appreciated.

No matter the efficiency of blitzkrieg and the disparity of forces; If Hitler could have disarmed the Poles, he would have.
Decision was 7-4, not unanimous which is good. If we prevent Hillary from winning the White House we may have a good chance to replace a couple of those justices with ones who believe in the constitution.
MY right to self defense is NOT dictated by a bunch of black-robed, unelected communist tyrants. What’s in my pccket stays there regardless of what the azzholes state. After the videos and pics of the melee in San Jose and the so-called cops just standing by, I don’t think so. NO. They can go piss up a stump as far as I’m concerned.
Court: No right to carry concealed weapons in public
Excerpt:
California officials said loosening concealed weapons permitting standards and allowing more people to carry guns threatens law enforcement officials and endangers the public.
Clement countered that there was no evidence that crime went up in counties such as Fresno and Sacramento that had more permissive "good cause" standards.
KILL ALL ALINSKYITES.
Doesn’t this go directly against the Heller (To Keep) and McDonald (To Bear) SCOTUS decisions?
We are ruled by the Dictatorship of the Judiciary.
“Open carry is illegal in California.
The Ninth very deliberately ignored that fact in order to make this ruling.”
If open carry is illegal in CA...it means that CA law violates the US constitution’s 2nd amendment...i.e. the right to keep and BEAR arms!
CA’s only choice is open carry, concealed carry, or both.
That’s really slowing down the gangs isn’t it!
