[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 160939, member: 21"] If it were only so simple. An actual patriot named Ed Peruta sued the San Diego county Sheriff when his application for a concealed carry license was denied. Here in the peoples republic of California we have a may issue system and it is up to the discretion of the county Sheriff of Chief of Police. You must have what is called "good cause." In rural counties it is no problem to get approved. It's nearly impossible in the more urban counties to get one unless you are connected or donate a lot for the Sheriff's election. In Los Angeles county self defense is not a good cause. Mr Peruta got nowhere in the state court, so he appealed to the federal court. On 2/13/14 the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit released the opinion stating that due to the second amendment self defense is a good cause and now the Sheriff must give Mr Peruta his permit. It's binding on all states in the ninth district. The San Diego county Sheriff decided not to continue fight and it looked like a win. On the very last day (2/27) California stepped in and basically asked to replace the San Diego county Sheriff as the defendant and be allowed to a discretionary appeal to the ninth district known as an "en banc" and/or the supreme court. We are currently in a holding pattern. You see California is fighting against the constitution and your ability to have a concealed weapon. The next step will be the court to decide if California can intervene. It's not a cut and dry decision. It will be at least three weeks until we get a decision. If it's no then we are done for now and everyone in California can apply under the new standard. The Attorney General of California Kamala Harris may prevail and then she can ask for an en banc appeal. Then we wait again to see if they grant it. Both of these steps are not a slam dunk for California by any means. They really don't like to do the "en banc" thing and even her motion to intervene has some problems. You see she was asked to join the case and declined. That casts a negative light on her motion big time. It's a very hopeful sign that's for sure. The large lady is warming up, and hopefully the singing will commence soon. [/QUOTE]
