A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that there is no Second Amendment protection for concealed weapons -- allowing states to prohibit or restrict the public from carrying concealed firearms.
The en banc opinion by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could set up a new showdown on gun rights at the Supreme Court.
At issue was California's law on concealed weapons, which requires citizens to prove they have "good cause" to carry concealed firearms to get a license.

Another cogent reason to elect Trump! Judges!!!
You can were I live.
It seems a rhetorical question but it’s actually the crux of the issue:
There is unquestionably a right to bear arms. To do so in public would mean open carry or concealed. There is no third option. Is the court saying that a Constituional right must only be exercised in one’s home? Does such a restriction apply to any other freedom?
This is why it matters who wins the Presidency. If Hillary wins then she appoints a Supreme Court that will destroy this right and if we want it we’ll have to bleed for it.
It;s easier to vote for it...pay attention NeverTrump people!!!
Patriots, noting that the 10th Amendment also expressly protects the power of the people, tell your state lawmakers that you want concealed carry and vote them out of office or recall them if they dont comply.
How do they know if it is concealled?
We all must decide what we will do on the day the government says you cannot carry your gun outside your home.
Read Matthew Bracken’s “Enemies Foreign and Domestic.” Gun checkpoints at every major intersection is one way.
If the police asks you and/or they find it on you, they can charge you with a crime, because it’s not legal to carry a concealed weapon, without a permit.
Since SCOTUS has ruled that we do have an individual right to carry (just like the 2nd Amendment plainly states) the logical conclusion flowing from this ruling by the 9th Circus Court is that there can be no laws against open carry.
Good cause or not, any licensing requirement is an infringement upon our rights recognized in the second amendment, and invalid.
We all must decide what we will do on the day the government says you cannot carry your gun outside your home.

We call them 'tards for a reason. What is it about "and bear" that is so hard for these judges to understand?
I suppose we will not be subjected to some tortured meaning of the term 'bear arms'.
Except open carry is also illegal in CA. So basically in CA the 2nd amendment is dead.
Ever notice how SC rulings the left doesnt like (eg. Heller) are quickly set up to be overturned, but rulings conservatives dont like (eg. Rowe v wade) are never challenged? Their rulings are “settled law” and permanent, ours are temporary setbacks.
