Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of the May v. Bonta case in the Ninth Circuit?

The May v. Bonta case, challenging California's SB2 firearm law, has been delayed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court has requested new briefs from the involved parties to assess how the Supreme Court's recent Rahimi decision impacts the case, adding further time to the legal process.

How does California's SB2 law restrict firearm carry?

California's SB2 law makes obtaining a firearm permit difficult and expensive, and designates many public areas like streets, sidewalks, and parking lots as 'sensitive locations' where carrying is prohibited, significantly limiting where permit holders can go.

Why is the Ninth Circuit requesting new briefs on the Rahimi decision?

The Ninth Circuit is requesting new briefs to understand the specific effects of the Supreme Court's Rahimi decision on the May v. Bonta case. This decision may influence how challenges to firearm restrictions, particularly those related to permit requirements and sensitive locations, are adjudicated.

What are the potential outcomes for the May v. Bonta case after the new briefs are submitted?

After reviewing the new briefs concerning the Rahimi decision, the Ninth Circuit could issue a ruling, or it might remand the case back to the district court for further proceedings. This process is expected to add significant delays to the resolution of the challenge against California's SB2 law.
