9th Circuit rules that public carry is protected by the 2A
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...source=Twitter
(Reuters) - A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment protects a right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense, rejecting a claim by Hawaii officials that the right only applies to guns kept at home.
The extent of the right to gun ownership protected by the Second Amendment is one of the most hotly contested debates in the United States, where life has been punctuated by a steady stream of mass shootings.
The ruling issued by a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, came a year after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to rule either way on the carrying of guns in public.
Two of the three 9th Circuit judges voted to reverse a decision by the U.S. District Court in Hawaii that state officials did not infringe on the rights of George Young, the plaintiff, in twice denying him a permit to carry a gun outside.
“We do not take lightly the problem of gun violence,” Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain wrote in Tuesday’s ruling. “But, for better or for worse, the Second Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense.”"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Woo Hoo! Now, what about transporting the firearm to the 'public'? Having the right to carry it but be denied the right to get it there seems a bit ridiculous.

But what about the "steady stream of mass shootings" that Reuters felt the need to editorialize about?

The ruling is by a 3 Judge panel and it will go to the "full" 9th circus and sure to be struck down. Set up to rule it's illegal and not a right.

I wonder if someone handed out a few copies of the pocket constitution to the judges on the 9th and caught them up to speed.
