The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled California's ban on open carry in most urban and public places unconstitutional, citing the Bruin decision. This ruling is significant as it affirms that the ban does not align with historical gun rights and practices in the U.S. The decision highlights the importance of open carry as a crime deterrent and a means to normalize firearm ownership among law-abiding citizens, challenging negative stereotypes.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an emergency public health order banning concealed and open carry of firearms in Bernalillo County for 30 days, citing gun violence. This order, which applies even to those with legal permits, is being challenged legally by gun rights organizations, arguing it exceeds the governor's authority and violates Second Amendment rights established in Heller and Bruin decisions. The order also faces internal opposition from some law enforcement officials who fear personal liability under New Mexico's Civil Rights Act.

This discussion centers on the legal landscape of concealed carry permits (CCW) in California, particularly in light of potential Supreme Court rulings like Bruin. The Peruta case is highlighted as a precursor, where a three-judge panel ruling in favor of shall-issue was overturned en banc. Despite this, the well-reasoned nature of the panel's decision influenced many sheriffs and police chiefs to voluntarily adopt shall-issue policies, making CCW more accessible in most California jurisdictions. However, some holdouts like San Francisco and the city of LA remain. The CRPA is preparing to challenge jurisdictions that do not update their 'good cause' policies to include self-defense post-Bruin, and anticipates potential legal gamesmanship from the Attorney General's office, such as creating 'sensitive places' or increasing fees and background check requirements to impede CCW issuance.
