"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

seems that the logical conclusion from this ruling is that if people can not carry concealed then they would have to be allowed to exercise the right to carry openly.

doesn't kalifornia prohibit open carry of loaded firearms?

The 9th Circuit Court is the most overturned court in the country:

Quote:
Arizona wants to switch circuits. Governor Doug Ducey, Senator Jeff Flake, and Representative Matt Salmon announced a joint effort last week to sever their state from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, citing its heavy workload, high rate of reversal, and slow resolution of cases.

Which states are placed in which federal appellate circuits might seem a little wonky, but the practical implications are huge. Except for the few petitions granted by the Supreme Court each year, the circuit courts of appeal are the final arbiter of almost all federal cases.

And Arizona’s leaders have a point. If you designed the American federal judiciary from scratch today, the Ninth Circuit probably wouldn’t exist. Of the 13 circuit courts of appeal, it’s by far the largest, spanning the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, as well as the Pacific territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. When Congress created the court in 1891, its vast territory was sparsely inhabited, holding less than 4 percent of the U.S. population. Now, after 125 years of westward migration, more than 20 percent of all Americans live within its jurisdiction.

With great size comes great logistical challenges. “The Ninth Circuit is by far the most overturned and overburdened court in the country, with a 77 percent reversal rate,” Ducey said in a statement last week. “Meanwhile, due to its voluminous caseload and disproportionate size, the Ninth Circuit has an abysmal turnaround time of over 15 months for an average ruling—a figure that’s only going to grow as the docket does.”

I believe it was Lawrence Tribe that, while arguing before the 9th, actually called it the 9th Circus and even the judges laughed.

wonder if the court can over rule the kalifornia senate?

somebody please explain how an elected government official can make laws that do not apply to themselves.
