Market Watch – by Joe Palazzolo
Americans have no Second Amendment right to carry concealed guns in public, a federal appeals court in California ruled on Thursday in a significant blow to gun-rights activists and gun owners in a large swath of the Western U.S.
The San Francisco-based Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 7-4 ruling, upheld a California law requiring residents to show “good cause” for carrying a concealed handgun.
Under the California law, personal safety alone doesn’t qualify as good cause, which is defined by county sheriffs. The plaintiffs, gun owners seeking licenses to carry their weapons concealed, said the policies in San Diego and Yolo counties where they live violated their Second Amendment rights.
“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,” wrote Judge William A. Fletcher, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, for the seven-judge majority.
Lawmakers are free to enact “any prohibition or restriction a state may choose” on the carrying of concealed guns, Judge Fletcher said.

Koyote; when you get back to your post, these creatures need to be one of the target submissions.
I gotta “good cause”…to conceal carry.
Government tyranny and foreign illegal invaders.
I don’t need authority to tell me I don’t have the right to protect myself.
Nobody needs to know you conceal.
Until you shoot them in the crotch.
F’ ’em. Wear your side arm proud. Open carry!

He’s actually correct. The Second Amendment merely affirms the existence of the right to carry concealed. The actual preservation and protection of this right, as with all rights, lies in the hands of armed citizens.
*** Lawmakers are free to enact “any prohibition or restriction a state may choose” on the carrying of concealed guns, Judge Fletcher said. ***
Yes, they are. And We The People are free to ignore those laws.
I might add that “We The People” are also free to enforce our God-given rights – at the point of the sword-, against the evil manipulations of those who, for some reason, seem to believe that they have some authority or power over free men and women.
OUR AUTHORITY is authorized by The LORD Himself, not granted to us by some human-manufactured paperwork or consensus of political or public opinion.

Now THAT’s creativity!
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”

Can’t for the life of me think of a reason why anyone would ‘ask permission’, since you’re – literally – asking your enemies; The government and their enforcers, the police.

Don’t ya just love the American law system.
In one area of the country the courts say concealed carry is unconstitutional and in another part of the country it is. Shouldn’t at least constitutional law be interpreted the same through out the country?
I hope every gun owner in that state or visiting that state , starts to strap them on in clear view

IN YOUR FACE CALIFORNIA
2nd Amendment says I have the right to keep and bear arms, they are not allowed to say otherwise nor have an opinion of my absolute rights.
The simple fact this is coming out of COMMIEFORNIA says it all.
Someone in CA. should be feeling, Judge Fletcher warn blood on their face!
So then, as the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, the plaintiff remains free to open carry, right???? Otherwise his right to bear arms has been infringed.
