This video breaks down the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Beard v. Bonta, which overturned California's long-standing open carry ban in counties with over 200,000 people. The court applied the Bruin framework, finding that the state failed to demonstrate historical tradition supporting such a population-based carve-out. While the ruling strikes down this specific restriction, it does not invalidate all of California's carry laws, including the requirement for concealed carry permits.
