A recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling has revived a legal challenge against Los Angeles's restrictive pre-Bruen concealed carry permit policies. The court found that plaintiffs arrested for carrying without a permit have standing, particularly if applying for a permit would have been futile due to the jurisdiction's stringent 'good cause' requirements. This decision could have significant implications for challenging similar restrictive policies in other states and potentially allow for the clearing of records for past arrests.
