SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A divided federal appeals court has struck down California's concealed weapons rules, saying they violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that California is wrong to require applicants to show good cause to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The court ruled that all law-abiding citizens are entitled to carry concealed weapons outside the home for self-defense purposes.

The divided three-judge panel disagreed with two other federal appeals courts that have upheld permit rules similar to California's.

The U.S. Supreme Court often takes cases when federal appeals courts issue conflicting rulings.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that law-abiding citizens can keep handguns in the home for self-defense purposes, but didn't address whether that right extends outside the home.



This will not rest easy for some of the posters here

Kill them all, let God sort 'em out.

lol... back to dodge city ....

Right on, in some ways I wish they would bring that up here, but I know Canadians are to crazy for it :D

The Canadians (and Rochard) will be very upset over this.

Not so much. Now I can carry a concealed weapon. Just like James Bond. Sounds like to me.

^^^Semper^^^

Nice. I like the warm fuzzy feeling of packing a pistol in California

Great, so people like this can now carry a concealed weapon!

Shit!!


People like that would get shot from behind, because if other law abiding citizens had guns, they would have pulled them out and shot him.


And if you think about it; If a nutty person with pans to walk into a crowded mall with bad intent, may think twice if he thinks everyone is armed.


Im of two minds about it: Take them all away or allow all to have them on their person.

Just Dave- That has been proven to not be true. It sounds good in theory but when has a mall or school shooting been stopped by a citizen with a concealed firearm? It simply does not happen.

Haha, you never looked up the crimes stats from the "wild west" vs what they are today with the 22,000 gun laws across the US huh. Try it sometime, you'll be shocked.
