The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a long-standing California gun law that effectively banned open carry in counties with over 200,000 residents. The ruling, based on the Bruen framework, found the ban incompatible with the Second Amendment by failing to meet the text, history, and tradition test. While this is a significant victory for gun rights advocates, it does not immediately legalize open carry statewide, as the decision is subject to further legal processes.
