The Federal 9th Circuit Court panel crushed the hopes of California’s Attorney General and two rogue Sheriffs who want to control gun-permits more than the law allows.
The ruling went against radical leftwing CA A.G. Kamala Harris-D from interfering with the peoples right to apply for a concealed carry permit. Harris and the Sheriff of San Diego wanted to block citizens from their Constitutional right to apply for a permit to carry a concealed firearm by placing unusual demands on them to show cause why a permit ought to be issued. The 9th District Court essentially told these bureaucrats to go pound sand, quit harassing citizens with their dangerous and illegal demands! If a person can legally own a firearm, they can legally apply for a CCW permit. The head of the issuing agency can’t ask them for a reason, that exceeds their authority.
Of course any person applying for a permit must still meet the safety requirements to demonstrate competency on the pistol range and a have an awareness of the shoot – don’t laws.
A Yolo County Sheriff was another gun-grabber who wanted to dictate who could apply for a carry permit, but now all three of these morons have been told to shut up and go away. They have absolutely no legal standing to insert their personal demands into this process!
These petty bureaucrats apparently forgot that we have a document called the Constitution of the United States of America and it empowered us to be a nation of laws, as well as a nation of inalienable rights. They somehow forgot what their elected office empowered them to do and not to do, and their confusion this lead them to a public embarrassment handed down by the Federal Court.
Let me be absolutely clear on this, these would-be usurpers of civil liberties have only a narrow focus and making up their own version of gun control wasn’t it. They took a pledge under oath to the effect: You shall uphold and enforce the laws! You shall not exceed or undermine the law! You shall respect the Constitution!
That was the clear message sent by the Federal Courts to California. It was a message that should have been obvious to anyone who understands how the American system works. How they could have gotten this far in government with such arrogance is depressing. They are the servants of the people – not their masters.
These three petty liberal bureaucrats should be ashamed for trying to play dictator and violate the 2nd Amendment, but such people rarely have any room for shame because they are too full of themselves.
Here’s the official news story, if you still need to read it:
“In its 2-1 ruling Wednesday, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied an attempt by Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris, a gun control group and law enforcement associations to intervene in a case that struck down San Diego County’s policy of tightly restricting the carrying of concealed guns. Gun owner Edward Peruta was the lead challenger of the San Diego rules.
Though the pro-gun ruling technically applied only to San Diego, it is being cited as a precedent in other gun challenges and some California counties have already chosen to follow it. San Diego and Orange counties relaxed their rules after the ruling and issued scores of permits to carry concealed guns in public.” End of Article from Fox News
Amazing that the 9th Circus actually did something right for a change!
I know, isn’t that odd?
I’m noticing an awakening in our courts. Maybe just as in the rest of the nation, the legal system is wising up to the ways of radical activists and are beginning to protect against compromises to our Constitutional rights. That would be a good thing.
