The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an en banc rehearing for the May v. Bonta case, upholding a previous three-judge panel's decision that partially restricts firearm carry in California under SB2. While some locations like hospitals and churches were restored for carry, many others including parks, playgrounds, and stadiums remain off-limits. This decision means the current sensitive location restrictions in California will stand unless further appealed to the Supreme Court or a final judgment is reached at the district court level.

The presenter, Reno May, highlights the complexities and ambiguities of the law, emphasizing that even sidewalks and parking lots adjacent to banned areas are often restricted, and advises CCW holders to be extremely cautious and informed about current regulations to avoid legal repercussions.
This video discusses the lawsuit 'May v. Bonta' challenging California's SB2, which significantly restricts concealed carry.
