Last year, in their ongoing efforts to shortsheet the Second Amendment at every turn, the California legislature passed a sweeping ban on the carrying of firearms in a wide variety of places. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law. But since then, the legislation has had an up-and-down journey through the court system. A U.S. District Court judge initially blocked the law on constitutional grounds. But then a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved the judge’s temporary hold, approving the law to take effect on January 1st. Yesterday, however, a different panel from the 9th Circuit dissolved the other panel’s approval, putting the law on hold yet again. So at least for now, legal holders of concealed carry permits will be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights in the Golden State. (AP)
