Ninth Circuit Appeals Court: If Hawaii Restricts Citizens' Ability to Carry Concealed, Then There Must Be An Absolute Right to Open Carry

Huge ruling.

Hawaii sharply limits who can carry concealed -- basically, only people who have jobs in security and law enforcement can carry concealed.

The Ninth Circuit -- not the whole Ninth Circuit, which is a leftwing clownshow, but two of the three judges selected randomly to review the lower court's ruling here -- rules that people have the right to carry firearms (quoting the Supreme Court's MacDonald decision), and if the right to carry concealed is restricted by a state, that must mean that the other method of carrying, open carry, is absolute.

The court rules that the "right to keep and bear arms" is actually two rights: to "keep" arms is about storing arms on physical property, but to bear arms is to carry arms on one's person.

And it rules that Hawaii may not leave citizens with no way of exercising this latter right.



Hawaii screwed itself here by, like so many other gun-grabbing states and local governments, creating a #FakeNews application process for getting a concealed carry license, but literally never granting such an application:



The majority opinion gets salty with the dissent:




Hawaii will certainly request en banc review, which is where every judge on the Ninth Circuit rehears the case and issues a group ruling. Obviously Hawaii will probably win that -- but then it's on to the Supreme Court.

Wrong? Anon Y. Mous says that the Ninth Circuit's en banc review is not performed by all judges, but just a lot more judges than the usual 3-judge panel.

Like, 11 judges? I don't know, "11 judges" sticks in my mind for some reason.

I'm not sure either way.

Update: Anon Y. Mous was right, and I was right about 11 judges, once Anon Y. Mous corrected me. From Wikipedia on "En banc:"

Federal law provides that for courts with more than 15 judges, an en banc hearing may consist of "such number of members of its en banc courts as may be prescribed by rule of the court of appeals."[4] The Ninth Circuit, with 29 judges, uses this procedure, and its en banc court consists of 11 judges. Theoretically, the Ninth Circuit can hear the case with all judges participating.

6 The dissenting judge has already called for an en banc review, which is where every judge on the Ninth Circuit rehears the case and issues a group ruling.

I think you are mistaken about that. I seem to recall that for the Ninth, an en banc review does not involve all the judges. It is, rather, a bigger panel. They do have some way in theory to go for an all judge review, but in practice it never happens.

Something to do with how huge the Ninth is compared to the other circuits is why they just don't do the everyone in reviews.

23 Federal law provides that for courts with more than 15 judges, an en banc hearing may consist of "such number of members of its en banc courts as may be prescribed by rule of the court of appeals." The Ninth Circuit, with 29 judges, uses this procedure, and its en banc court consists of 11 judges. Theoretically, the Ninth Circuit can hear the case with all judges participating. In practice, however, such a hearing has only been requested rarely; the requests have all been denied. The Fifth Circuit, with 17 judges, also adopted a similar procedure in 1986. State of La. ex rel. Guste v. M/V TESTBANK, 752 F.2d 1019 (5th Cir. 1985) (en banc). The Sixth Circuit has 16 judges but as of September 2016 it has not yet adopted such a policy; en banc cases are generally heard by all 16 judges.

Um, that was a joke tweet, apparently, which I did not realize was a joke and I misinterpreted.

You're right, the dissenting judge has no such right. I didn't think he did, but there was this odd tweet saying that some judge had already called for an en banc review and I assumed it must have been the dissenting judge.

but it was all just a huge fuck-up by me.

41 I can't believe the 9th circuit issued this ruling. In truth, ALL gun control laws are unconstitutional and before the 30s just about any gun. Some people even owned canons.



My reply back to gun control advocates is "if you want gun control then you need to get the Constitution changed". and gun control does not mean gun confiscation.

70 The 9th Circuit en banc process is 11 judges, made up of the chief Judge (a Clinton appointee) and 10 other active (e.g. not senior status) judges drawn at random.

The author of the opinion is a senior status judge, as is the dissenter, so they are both out. The other judge in the majority is an active judge appointed by G.W. Bush. That judge may or may not be on any en banc panel.

Practically speaking, though, the en banc panel (assuming one is granted) is likely to include a majority of Democratic appointees given the tilt of that court (at present the active judges are 16 democratic appointees (including the Chief Judge) and 7 republican appointees).

82 As for who can call for en banc review, I believe it is the losing party or any active judge in the Circuit. Assuming someone calls/requests en banc review, a vote of all the active judges (and maybe the senior judges on the panel that made the decision, some circuits allow them to participate in en banc review, I don't know about the 9th's procedure) will take place in secret, and if a majority request en banc review then en banc review it is.

If the en banc vote fails then today's decision stands and binds on all jurisdictions within the 9th Circuit.

You would think so, but that's actually pretty common here in CA and I've never heard of anyone getting into trouble. I guess the problem is proving the quid pro quo - it's pretty obvious making contributions helps your case just by looking at the numbers, but I assume you'd never be able to get a sheriff laying things out on tape.

Maybe it's just an expected level of corruption. California has, as they say, the best legislature money can buy, and the fish rots from the head.

92 I think that's very true in the urban counties along the coast. But, the more rural, inland counties are different with many of the sheriffs behaving more reasonably. As long as you are a law-abiding citizen, they will issue the permit.
Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at July 24, 2018 03:35 PM (KDpai)


Yes, it's definitely a county-by-county thing. Sadly, the counties where you'll have trouble getting a permit are the ones where all the jobs are, at least for my industry.

93 Now, if the Senate would bet off of their dead asses...

On 12/7/17, The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act passed 231-198 in the GOP-controlled House, with six Democrats voting in support.

And so it went to die in the Senate. It's buried 'in committee' there. And gee, wouldn't that make a wonderful talking point if dickheads like Menendez in NJ voted No? His Repub challenger there has a fair chance to win.

If you know your route takes you through NJ, the officials there are generally very forgiving. But, like anything involving the gov't anywhere (taxes especially...):

YOU have to be the one to call THEM first.

I forget which office it is, but there is a division of the NJ state government you can call if you're from out of state, and basically say "Hey, I'm going to need to travel through your state with some firearms. What do you need me to do?" And they generate a temporary "permit" you can show the police if you get stopped, and they tell you what you have to do to store them, like locking them up or disassembling them or whatever, and you're good to go.

I've never done this myself, but I know several who have. It's even easier if you have a FFL license.
Again, if you are the one to make the first move, they won't give you too much of a hassle. But if you just waltz into NJ state territory with a firearm, they'll bring the hammer down on you, as we are all aware.

165 One other point about today's opinion. The author is a Reagan appointee on senior status. He has a very good reputation among the Supreme Court Justices. A lot of his dissents have been adopted by the Supreme Court as majority opinions when the Supreme Court reverses the 9th Circuit. So even if an en banc panel screws this up, having his majority ruling today as part of the case record is helpful if the Supreme Court winds up taking the case.

207 I am not a big fan of guns. I like them in terms of history and engineering, I like how a lot of them look. But they are instruments of destruction which bothers me. I enjoy shooting a gun but they frighten me at some level: this is death in my hands.

But none of that matters, its just a personal, emotional reaction. Objectively I support people's owning guns and using them, especially in terms of self defense and protection of liberty.

And I'm infuriated and sick of governments spending every waking moment trying to find some way to violate people's ability of self defense and constitutional, human right to keep and bear arms. I'm sick enough that I'm leaning toward an extremist position were nobody should have any restrictions on owning any kind of weapons at any time. Bombs, nukes, tanks, warships. Enough of this penny ante crap by petty tyrants.

They want a gun, at firing, to micro-stamp a bullet so they will be able to identify the supposed shooter.

They all do that anyway; firing pin and bullet rifling. All this would do is increase expense in manufacturing.

214 Haven't looked, if this is the case in question, but legal observers of the 9th Circus madcap shredding of 2A rights recently included a case (Peruta? concealed carry in CA) in which the "court" pretended to ignore the combo of 1) state ban on open carry 2) restrictive issuance of concealed carry permits. That combo, as the majority here notes, effectively bans "bearing" arms.


It was a dramatic, brazen bit of lawlessness when the court ignored it. Some observers predicted it was a trap they couldn't ignore forever, this might be that day.


Of course, it gets overturned en banc (which will be the Nth slap in the face of SCOTUS, de facto repeal of McDonald/Heller by inferior courts), goes to DC, where review is denied. Wanna bet?

I get the theory of this but its not a very solid one. If someone needs your gun, they likely don't have one of their own. And honestly, criminals prefer not to prey on strong targets, they want people they can take out without reasonable expectation of being hurt.

Even someone really crazy is usually sly about self protection, and if they are so demented or wasted on drugs they don't care, then carrying a weapon or not is irrelevant to their actions.

244 Just having visible guns raises the temperature of any altercation because it moves the "this pissed off guy might try to shoot me" chance from "remote" to "well, it's possible..."

Possibly, but I would guess that its at least equally offset by making people think twice about an altercation because of the visible weapon. I mean, getting into a fight with some dude vs getting into a fight with some dude who has a holstered gun in view is a whole nother ballgame.

245 164 Absent en banc review the only way this decision doesn't go into effect is if the panel decides to stay the ruling pending Supreme Court review or the Supreme Court decides to stay the ruling pending their own review. There's no option for a single district court (or circuit court) judge to block it.

If en banc review is granted then this ruling will be stayed and eventually withdrawn in favor of the en banc decision.

247 Jmel, from waaaay back up thread, I'm here to tell you that this particular ruling could well have nothing to do with Trump.


A much more important, much stronger ruling (in favor of concealed carry, by a 3-judge panel, in the Peruta case) a few years ago makes the point. The ruling was written as to dare the circuit to over-rule it - it basically xeroxed Heller and/or McDonald (can't recall which, think Heller) and said here, over-turn SCOTUS if you dare.


They did, of course, without a pause, though with less open contempt than the 4th in their ruling on the MD gun law.

248 The problem is if push came to shove and they are forced to relent on open or concealed carry our masters will allow open carry and keep concealed heavily restricted.

250 223-- The California micro-stamping law requires the firing pin on semi-automatic handguns to mark the primer when struck.
Posted by: You're in hell, the world ended at at July 24, 2018 04:15 PM (NmR1a)

"Now that truly is something only California could come up with. I suppose it means revolvers are about to become more popular"

To be completely accurate- the requirement is for the casing to be marked in two places when the gun is fired--

CA has a 'safe handgun roster', i.e. to sell a firearm in CA you have to apply and get the firearm on the list. Microstamping for any new model semi handguns became a requirement ~2013, prior models could still be sold. Several gun manufacturers have dropped out of the civilian market as they retired some models and determined micro-stamping ain't worth the cost.

Which was really the goal, drive manufacturers out, administrative means to reduce weapons available for the law abiding.

271 The entire CA handgun "roster" is a comical example of the lawlessness that is rampant on the 2A. Purportedly it restricts models based on "safety" - yet ..... yet ..... law enforcement is exempt (can buy any model made), and personal sales from people who import them as personal property are exempt.


How many "safety" laws have exemptions? You mean to tell me that guns that are unsafe are OK for our noble warriors in blue? You want to endanger the cops? And it's OK for unsafe guns to change hands, as long as they were originally bought out of state?


The case challenging this (Pena) produed a lower court ruling that is breathtakingly indefensible, even by current farcical US "standards". To add to the farce, the idiot Harris (now disgracing the country in the Senate) dumped in the micro-stamping issue *during the trial*. Caused a delay, as the court looked at that issue.


In a sane world with anything resembling rule of law, the original case would have prevailed easily - dumping in micro-stamping (a non-existent technology with no arguable public benefit - which is immaterial anyway since a clear constitutional right is being heavily infringed) should have cinched it, and surprised many observers at the time since it logically would doom the state's case.


Oh no. No problem. Indefensible law with an indefensible new twist dumped in on top of it - sure, no problem.

They actually passed it several years ago, but it was in the news
recently because the suit challenging it finally made it to the
California Supreme Court, where it was upheld.


I think the folks behind the challenge are appealing it.

Then, 199
I believe the non-existent technology of "micro-stamping" is for marking
the case, not the projectile. Could be wrong. Doesn't matter -
neither technology exists, and there is literally no reason to think
that either would be of any public value.





In any case, neither is constitutional. Duh

And the reason it was upheld, is that the lawsuit was all bout "but this microstamping the case thing is extremely difficult if not impossible to do."The court said they didn't care and that this is no reason to challenge the law in court. They did hint that it may be unconstitutional, which will be the basis of appeal.

What I was told in my CHL class (this was 2010) always resonated with me. When you conceal-carry, or have a gun in your vehicle, you can let whoever is around you do what they want - because you know they can do what they want, flip you the bird, slander your mommy, or otherwise throw a temper tantrum that puts a 3 year old to shame, whatever. You can relax and let them do whatever because you know, every if they don't, there's a line they cannot cross. Once they cross that line, it's game on.
