Big Surprise - 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns CCW restrictions in CA

[donaldcc]

  In a significant victory for gun owners, a divided federal appeals court Thursday struck down California rules that permit counties to restrict as they see fit the right to carry a concealed weapon in public.

The majority said the restrictions violate the 2nd Amendment's guarantee of the right to bear arms because they deny law-abiding citizens the ability to carry weapons in public unless they show they need the protection for specific reasons.  The rules will remain in effect for the foreseeable future, pending appeals.

Nice. 

My guess is that this one is destined for the Supreme Court.
