California Open Carry Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled California's open carry ban unconstitutional, citing historical tradition and the Second Amendment. This decision, stemming from the Baird v. Bonta lawsuit, challenges a ban affecting most Californians and critiques the state's 'shall-issue' permitting regime. While a victory for gun rights advocates, an en banc review by the 9th Circuit is anticipated.
