In a stunning/seemingly bizarre ruling, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to (for once) enforce the Constitution. The court actually ruled that one has the right to receive a gun (carry) permit for self defense in San Diego County (and potentially in all of California). AMAZING!!!
Up until now, only retired judges and cops, some politicians and a handful of people carrying high value items (jewelry salesmen) could hope to get a permit from the issuers (county sheriffs). Oh, and a few domestic violence potential victims (as long as they were women, of course). And, of course, a few “Friends of [Sheriff] Bill Gore” in San Diego.The case is far from over, and we can expect that every anti-gun nut in the country from Barack Obama on down will be pressuring the court to deny Californians the right that people in 40 or more states currently enjoy. Still, for the (admittedly divided) uber-liberal 9th Circuit to come to this commonsense, Constitutional conclusion is simply mind-boggling.
