WTF? :lol:  :thumbsup:
I'm speechelss.


The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Second Amendment guarantees Americans' right to carry a gun for self-defense in public, overturning a Hawaii licensing rule that limited gun possession to the home.

The ruling, which comes one year after the Supreme Court declined to rule on the issue, overturns a Hawaii court of appeals ruling that held officials did not violate a plaintiff's Second Amendment rights by prohibiting him from carrying outside of his home.

"We do not take lightly the problem of gun violence," Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain wrote in Tuesday's ruling for the two-judge majority. "But, for better or for worse, the Second Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense."

The plaintiff, George Young, sued after a state official "twice [denied] him a permit to carry a gun outside," Reuters reported Tuesday.

The decision does not affect previous court rulings that the Second Amendment does not guarantee a citizen's right to carry a concealed weapon in public. It comes exactly one week after the Ninth Circuit upheld a lower court's ruling that California's high-capacity-magazine ban was unconstitutional.

Based on some of the comments on the article, that was the consensus. It's not easy being the most overturned court in the nation.
I think they may have figured out it would be better to rule in favor of the 2nd instead of having SCOTUS bitch slap them in public, after all, SCOTUS is no longer the lefts court. :thumbup:

My thoughts exactly. They are not immune from seeing the makeup of the SC and may be tired of getting their asses handed to them by the court.

If I had been there and able to address the court on their decision, Id tell them:

"See, now how hard was that? You just followed the law, you didn't try and make a political statement, you realized the first 10 Amendments were established as a barrier against you, the govt, from interfering with the peoples Right to self-preservation/protection, that you really never had any business messing with a Right granted to the people by God himself."

Now, don't you all feel better about yourselves for a change? Now, give yourselves a pat on the back and go get a Starbucks or a child slave, beat your Mexican housekeeper, or whatever you do to celebrate, now, get outta here and take a break, you've made the people proud of you for once"!
