When it comes to guns and gun legislation, California is no Flori-duh, to be sure. So how discouraging was it to hear that there was a successful Second Amendment suit by gun-rights advocates that challenged a key California requirement for those applying for a concealed-gun-carry permit.
And that requirement? Applicants needed to supply “good cause” to carry a concealed gun in public. Simply referencing the Founding Fathers or loving to pack heat were not considered reason sufficient. The case is now under review by an appeals court panel.
No one would be surprised if this ultimately lands in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
