Excellent news!
In case you're not a member of SAF, please join immediately. They are taking an active part in these lawsuits. It's only $150 for a LIFE membership. They need the numbers. |

Is this the same case as another thread on a similar topic posted within the last few weeks?
Apparently not. That other case is discussed here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1592168_Ninth_Circuit_rules_that_carrying_a_firearm_in_public_is_protected_by_the_2nd_amendment.html |

I wonder if they will attempt to appeal further to the supreme court.

Good for CA.
When I must travel into CA, I still carry my FNX-9 fully loaded, with two spare 17rd mags, and a Benchmade Auto Bedlam. I will not comply. |

View Quote +1 I became a LIFE member after Sandy Hook, when I saw the cost was only $150. SAF sent me a nice plaque with my name on it. |

Not as good as you'd think.
Incorporation of the amendments is not favorable. All they are doing is strengthening the authority of the federal govt. The constitution is a power limiting document, not a power granting. The more authority given to the fed then the more power. What the fed govt givith then they thus have the power to taketh away. 2nd should be followed as intended. To ensure that the fed can make no laws limiting firearm ownership. It then falls to the state and local govt to rule as their guiding documents and people dictate. You have to watch out when you celebrate this kind of federal "victory" it is highly likely to not go in your favor in the future. It is still legislative action from the courts. Not good. |

Best news I've heard all day. I still believe there shouldn't be a requirement for carrying a gun. |

Yeah I agree.. each one of these separate victories build up more case law making it harder to overturn. Also, with the current makeup of the Supreme Court it is unlikely they will even take it up - so that is good for them. |

IIRC, Peruta was a 2-1 decision.
Nice to see that the dissent there is willing to follow the Peruta decision. |

On our way to Shall Issue. Smaller counties will likely have even looser quals.

The NRA has taken to quietly backing lawsuits lately. I know that is what they have been doing with the NY suit. Perhaps they see the value in keeping a low profile in these cases, because the left tends to scream "OMG it's the evil NRA gun lobby!" every chance they get. |

This is not true - otherwise the 2nd A would have been incorporated upon ratification of the 14th A. Additionally, the 14th A did not prevent recent laws that have been enacted in New York, Connecticut or Colorado. Original intent is the only thing that matters when it comes to privileges and immunities. Be careful what you ask for because a bullet button and ten round magazines will be in your future when the next Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House. |

The Richards case was argued at the same time, and to the same panel, that earlier decided Peruta v. County of San Diego, a similar case challenging overly-restrictive carry license policies. Yolo County and Sheriff Prieto argued that their policies were distinguishable from those struck down in Peruta, but apparently, the three-judge panel unanimously disagreed. View Quote LOL |

View Quote They do seem to be resting on their laurels as far as court cases go. That's why I only sign up for five years at a time. I let my membership slide for a couple of years after they went silent on McCain-Feingold. I let them know they pissed me off then critiqued their weak reply to my position with a "no sale" result. I did re-up during Heller, and they did a fine job in the aftermath of Newtown as well. |

I want to make a donation to Calguns to help make this fight. But before I do and being a Yankee I have never heard of them, I want to make sure they are good to go and worth giving money to. I assume the answer is yes. But want to hear for sure.
EDIT: I have given to the SAF and will do again this time around as well. |

Congrats to those in the fight.
Would love to see all of cali armed and ready. TXL |
