    Stepping out further....the Constitution begins with "We the People..." and I doubt that phrase appeared by sheer happenstance.

    Importantly, the phrase "the people" appears in several other constitutional clauses, five of which are in the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment ensures "the right of the people" to petition the government and to assemble peacefully; the Second Amendment protects "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms"; the Fourth Amendment protects "the right of the people" against unreasonable searches and seizures; and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments reserve to "the people" non-enumerated rights and powers, respectively.

    But all of this is academic because the government is now under the control of Marxists who see the Constitution as a mere speed-bump on the road to their socialist utopia.

    Already here: "hate speech" crimes, "safe zones", folks in a tizzy over sidewalk chalk, etc. Today a writer in the Huffington Post said violence was A-OK against Trump supporters. It will only get worse.

    Inside the heart of every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.



    Elections have consequences, and many MDS members don't seem to realize that, getting their shorts in a wad and staying home because Trump or Hogan or anyone else isn't pure enough for them. Just shoot us all in the foot I guess...

    Coincidentally, I just ordered more ammo... :innocent0

    What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand? Infringe: 1) to actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.); 2) act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on:. That means don't take away, limit, undermine or otherwise encroach on an American citizen's right to keep (own) and bear (hold, wear, or use lawfully) arms (firearms, knives, swords, spears, etc.). *sigh*

    This decisions whole reliance on its ruling towards "concealed carry" may be its downfall. They clearly leave the door open on "open carry" or just "carry" as written in the 2A.

    From the ruling:
    We do not reach the question whether the Second
    Amendment protects some ability to carry firearms in public,
    such as open carry. That question was left open by the
    Supreme Court in Heller, and we have no need to answer it
    here. Because Plaintiffs challenge only policies governing
    concealed carry, we reach only the question whether the
    Second Amendment protects, in any degree, the ability to
    carry concealed firearms in public.

    ... We hold only that there is no Second Amendment right for members of the
    general public to carry concealed firearms in public.

    The Nichols v Brown Open Carry case is going to be huge now. It is currently before the 9th Circuit, it was stayed there pending the Peruta outcome. Nichols couldn't have asked for a better gift to be dropped into his lap.

    I hope SAF, GOA, NRA and everyone else get behind the Nichols case as it is the only salvation coming from 9th and its more pure nature of "carry" may be the saving grace...

    No they don't. Remember this is CA9 we're talking about. There is zero chance they fail to squash open carry with a public safety carveout.

    Remember, folks, the Federal judges who decide these cases are all nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

    Every one of them.

    Elections matter.

    Do you want Hillary nominating every new federal judge whenever there's a vacancy in the districts, circuits, and Supremes?

    I disagree, they can not put the genie back in the bottle and they can not completely eviscerate the right that they acknowledge exists.

    All rights are subject to Time, Place, Manner restrictions. Here, they've eliminated 1 of the 2 Manners of Carry in the Court. They've eliminated the alternate method through Legislation. They won't get away with taking the 2nd away.

    CA9 will take away open carry with the expectation SCOTUS either denies cert, or grants cert and upholds their decision.

    There will be no carry allowed in CA9 and SCOTUS will look the other way.

    They just did exactly that, as of now.

    This is awesome! Now Nichols will be even more obnoxious about open carry is the real right.

    But who knows. 2016 may go down in history as the year of the obnoxious outsider winning.

    Yes they will and they said so in our faces. Here is the meat of the decision:

    VII. Agreement with the Concurrence

    Our colleague Judge Graber concurs fully in our opinion,
    but writes separately “to state that, even if we assume that the
    Second Amendment applied to the carrying of concealed
    weapons in public, the provisions at issue would be
    constitutional
    .” Graber, J., concurrence at 52. Even if we
    assume that the Second Amendment applies, California’s
    regulation of the carrying of concealed weapons in public
    survives intermediate scrutiny because it “promotes a
    substantial government interest that would be achieved less
    effectively absent the regulation.” Id. at 58 (internal
    quotation marks omitted). For the reasons given in our
    opinion, we do not need to reach the question addressed by
    the concurrence. But if we were to reach that question, we
    would entirely agree with the answer the concurrence
    provides.



    Conclusion

    We hold that the Second Amendment does not protect, in
    any degree, the carrying of concealed firearms by members
    of the general public. This holding resolves the Second
    Amendment question presented in this case. It also
    necessarily resolves, adversely to Plaintiffs, their derivative
    claims of prior restraint, equal protection, privileges and
    immunities, and due process. In light of our holding, we need
    not, and do not, answer the question of whether or to what
    degree the Second Amendment might or might not protect a
    right of a member of the general public to carry firearms
    openly in public.

    Judge Graber's concurrence came next it it was full of all the new-age reasons that the courts have been using to make ANY gun regulation legal other than the complete ban on handguns. The 9th Circuit is saying bring on your open carry lawsuits, we don't care. We can say open carry, or any other carry, outside your house can be regulated including requiring a permit for "good cause." So read it for yourself and see. If this stands, we are screwed.

    I suspect that there are many criminals there that really don't see this law affecting them one bit. They will continue to concealed carry all they like, without fear of prosecution: just like the illegal immigrants, welfare cheats, and other criminal elements of our society.

    So I got this from NRA-ILA this morning; is this case effectively dead for us because of the instructions they used on how the case be reconsidered?

    "Nevertheless, after that decision was issued, a majority of the full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals took it upon itself to order the case to be reheard. In reversing the panel’s decision, the full court deceptively recast the issue in the case as whether plaintiffs, who “wish to carry concealed firearms in public” but “do not satisfy the good cause requirements in their counties” nevertheless have a Second Amendment right to be issued concealed carry licenses."

    .....

    "While the majority opinion blithely asserts that people who believe California’s ban on open carry violates the Second Amendment have the option of challenging that ban, they ignore the fact that no provision of California law provides a means for law-abiding citizens to do so for self-defense. Thus, achieving proper standing to mount such a challenge would be difficult for anyone who does not commit a criminal violation of California’s open carry ban.

    In the final analysis, the majority opinion does perform one very important public service: It provides the clearest possible example of why liberty-loving Americans need to go to the polls this November and vote for those candidates who will preserve their Second Amendment rights. The consequences of failing to do so could not be clearer. "

    Charles is screwed too. The 9th Circuit clearly said it does not matter what manner of carry there is, open or concealed, the government can regulate that carry outside the home any way they want to other than a total ban. So even if you win open carry, you lose because they will require a "good cause" for you to get a permit to do so from the government.

    So the legal eagles need to come up with better arguments because this line of arguments will get most guns banned and nobody will be able to leave their house with them. We need a strong argument for keeping and bearing any arm we can bear WITHOUT any government permission whatsoever. Otherwise, we get this crap from the courts stuffed with Clinton and now Obama judges.
