9th Circuit: Americans Have No Right To Concealed Carry A Gun Outside Home


The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is ruling in favor of California’s “good cause” requirement, saying the Second Amendment does not protect a right to carry a concealed gun in public.

On February 13 2014 Breibart News reported that a panel of judges from the Ninth Circuit struck down California’s “good cause” requirement. Thereafter–under pressure from State Attorney Kamala Harris–the court announced that it would rehear the case en banc. Today that en banc ruling resulted in the “good cause” requirement being upheld and Americans being told they have not right to carry a concealed gun in public.

The case–PERUTA V. CTY. OF SAN DIEGO–was filed by concealed permit applicants who think the “good cause” requirement infringed their Second Amendment rights in San Diego and Yolo Counties. On February 13, 2014, the Ninth Circuit panel sided with the Plaintiffs, ruling that the right to keep and bear arms is, in and of itself, a sufficient cause for bearing arms for self-defense. Moreover, that it is a sufficient cause both inside and outside of one’s domicile.

The San Francisco Chronicle quoted from Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain’s majority opinion, in which he emphasized that “the right to bear arms includes the right to carry an operable arm outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense.”

But the en banc ruling went in the opposite direction, upholding the “good cause” requirement and unequivocally stating that Americans have no right to carry a concealed gun outside the home for self-defense. Writing in the majority opinion, Judge Williams Fletcher said, “We hold that the Second Amendment does not preserve or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public.”

I don't really get where your going with this,  i mean fires are not  that rare so fire extinguishers are kind of needed,  also flat tyres,  again pretty common really so Always handy to have a spare.

Having to defend yourself against gun wielding robbers in the uk???  Not so common.

Ok,  i cant help but notice a complete lack of guns in those crimes,  do you think it would be better if the criminals have easier access to guns?  Because atm criminals don't really use guns in robberies,  the cases where guns arr  used is gang on gang violence.  If your everyday civilian has guns then the bad guys will arm up too.

 The murder rate in England and Wales has risen sharply for the first time in a decade at a time when police have diverted detectives to investigate historic sex abuse and allegations against tabloid newspapers.

New figures show that the number of murders and manslaughter deaths increased by 14 per cent last year bringing the annual total to 574, or 11 deaths a week.

Officials at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the surge was concentrated in London and the South East and described it as “peculiar”.

However, police sources said contributory factors may have been the re-deployment of detectives in London – where a fifth of the additional murders took place – as well as growing violence among migrants, including organised gangs.

Armed Americans *DO* have the chance to "do anything about gun crime."

How did that galactically obvious, robustly illustrated point so effortlessly fly right over your helpless peasant head?

And that's not even getting into the fact that absent "so many gun toting citizens" the USA would still be part of the UK (its citizens remaining chattel property of the Crown and Throne).

To be fair,  the uk has some of the least gun crime in the world.  Obviously its very difficult to reduce gun crime down to 0.  America obviously has no chance to do anything about gun crime due to so many gun toting citizens.

In the United States, illegal guns are used in almost 90% of the gun-related crimes. With Mexican drug cartels such as the Los Zetas, Barrio Azteca and Los Mazatlecos expanding their operations to the Southern United States, it is only a matter of time before states such as Texas going to get swamped from illegal firearms. And if you take the guns away from the American citizens in these states, it will make them sitting ducks against the drug peddlers.
