The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled this week , on a seven to four vote, ruled that California residents do not have an automatic right to carry a concealed weapon.
According to the court: “The protection of the Second Amendment — whatever the scope of that protection may be — simply does not extend to the carrying of concealed firearms in public by members of the general public.”
This decision further muddies the rulings of lower courts on the rights of gun owners to carry their weapon outside of the home.
Now registered gun owners must show just cause why they need to carry a concealed gun prior to obtaining a concealed weapons permit.
That caveat was contested by two California counties because the definition of “good cause”, as defined by county sheriffs.
In the opinion, the judges referenced the changing rights of gun owners from medieval England to the founding of the United States and right on through to the Civil War. And when it comes to the history of local laws, there is a consensus that the public should not be allowed to carry a concealed weapon.
The justices wrote: “Because the Second Amendment does not protect in any degree the right to carry concealed firearms in public, any prohibition or restriction a state may choose to impose on concealed carry — including the requirement of ‘good cause,’ however defined — is necessary allowed by the Amendment.”
They also point out that the “plaintiffs do not challenge California’s restrictions on open carry; they challenge only restrictions on concealed carry.”
Across the country, US District Court Judge Richard Leon argued that the “good cause” clause was “probably unconstitutional because it infringes on the Second Amendment’s core right to self-defense”.
In opposition, the attorney general for DC said that “the district’s gun laws are constitutional, reasonable, and in line with laws in other states that three other federal appellate courts have upheld.”
