The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is ruling in favor of California’s “good cause” requirement, saying the Second Amendment does not protect a right to carry a concealed gun in public.

On February 13 2014 Breibart News reported that a panel of judges from the Ninth Circuit struck down California’s “good cause” requirement. Thereafter–under pressure from State Attorney Kamala Harris–the court announced that it would rehear the case en banc. Today that en banc ruling resulted in the “good cause” requirement being upheld and Americans being told they have not right to carry a concealed gun in public.

It is ridiculous and unconstitutional on its face.

So that must mean open carry is the only option in CA.

CA passed a law against open carry a couple of years back...

This is a defacto restriction of the inalienable right to BEAR arms anywhere except in one's home.

I knew open carry was illegal there.  However, if you cannot carry openly and cannot carry concealed then you can't carry.  Hasn't the SC came out with a ruling that said DC could not limit ownership to just ones home?

They don't call it the "9th Circus" for nothing. 

Violently, flagrantly unconstitutional and utterly unenforceable, but a Christmas (um, I meant ... "Holiday") present for the criminal class.

FYI - Judge Williams Fletcher was Bill Clinton's Rhodes Scholar classmate. Harvard undergrad and Yale Law, of course.

That's a good point. I would expect this to be appealed up.  But without Scalia, it may lose.

Pretty much one of the top 3 or 4 reasons I left California last year, taking my business and everything I owned with me.  Lifelong resident, now gone.  My current state is a Constitutional state, with laws reflecting that.  However, I'm fully prepared to go renegade and outlaw to defend my oath, and freedom.  Plus, I won't be Finnigan.  I'll die as Charlton Heston once predicted. 

I won't die alone.

God given, inalienable human rights trump progressive rules, regardless of who is wearing the black fascist robe of the Federal Judiciary.

When the USSC refuses to review this (likely, if a 4-4 tie is anticipated), Heller will be inoperative.

Really, the circuit is complete.  Trump coopted the GOP with a minority of it's voters, Trump will lose 50 states and the Senate, it'll be a 5-4 liberal USSC majority by late February, and your "rights" will be non-existent.  The progs think that this will only impact the 2nd amendment, but the prog justices and liberal lawyers will work to curtail most of the Bill of Rights within 4 years.

This cake is baked.  America's goose is cooked.

Ok, now I see what you did there.

I can only pray that you're wrong...but the band is warming up...

Exactly. The 9th Circuit says you may own a gun, but only if you keep it locked up in a safe and never, ever open it.

Unless you are a California politician and you can exempt yourself.

I guess the first amendment only applies at home too.

It will if Donald Trump has anything to do with it.

This is also why it's the most overturned court in the country.

Glad I'm getting home before the election so the guns I do buy...I'll be able to bury in a safe spot.

That would be the 9th Circuit's logical conclusion.

Isn't this one of the people whom DT has supported?

Why yes, yes he did.   Little birdies say he gave her at least $6,000 in campaign contributions. 

[SZonian]

@Sanguine

She was elected by the thinnest of margins, the Pubbie came close to winning the AG seat, but this is CA...

Trump supported her...she's a red diaper baby...commie through and through and will be elected to the US Senate this year replacing Box 'o Rocks Boxer.  Boxer is bad, Harris is orders of magnitude worse...she's a "believer".

Right.  And, given all of that, why on earth did DT donate to her?

Sigh, I wish I knew.  Rats won every seat in that last election...every last one.   

And the results have been as expected...

[skeeter]

The courts and legislature/governor of this state have been on an insane anti-gun tear for several months now. Some of the laws they've passed are laughable from a constitutional standpoint but they flat don't care.

They're really throwing off the shackles and dropping pretenses now folks. Tyranny is coming faster than anyone imagined it would.

I wish I could disagree...but this is absolutely correct.
