9th Circuit Rules That There Is No Right to Carry a Weapon

Gird your loins. If this is accepted for review by the Supreme Court -- and the Supreme Court has shown itself to be extraordinarily cowardly in ducking ruling on big-ticket items -- we will find out if we really have a "conservative" court, or if the lawyers recommended by the Professional Class Karens of the Federalist Society are just from the Corporate Wing of the Uniparty.

I suspect the latter.


The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Hawaii gun regulation, ruling Wednesday that states can restrict the right to openly carry a firearm in public.

The 7-4 decision said restrictions on carrying guns in public do not fall within the scope of what is protected by the Second Amendment.


...

"We have never assumed that individuals have an unfettered right to carry weapons in public spaces," the majority ruled. "Indeed, we can find no general right to carry arms into the public square for self defense."

"The en banc court held that the Second Amendment does not guarantee an unfettered, general right to openly carry arms in public for individual self-defense. Accordingly, Hawaii’s firearms-carry scheme is lawful."

The case was brought by George Young, who applied for a license twice in 2011 to carry a gun in public either openly or concealed and was denied both times because he didn't prove the "urgency or the need" to openly carry a firearm in public, the decision said. Instead, Young relied on his "general desire to carry a firearm for self-defense."

Under Hawaii's law, residents have to show the "urgency or the need" to carry a firearm in public and must be of good moral character and "engaged in the protection of life and property."

...


Judge Diarmuid F. O'Scannlain authored Wednesday’s dissent, calling the ruling "extreme."


"The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms'. Today, a majority of our court has decided that the Second Amendment does not mean what it says," the minority dissented. "Instead, the majority holds that while the Second Amendment may guarantee the right to keep a firearm for self-defense within one’s home, it provides no right whatsoever to bear-i.e., to carry -- that same firearm for self-defense in any other place."

"This holding is as unprecedented as it is extreme."

"We now become the first and only court of appeals to hold that public carry falls entirely outside the scope of the Amendment’s protections," O'Scannlain continued. "In so holding, the majority reduces the right to 'bear Arms' to a mere inkblot."

Susan Collins voted in favor of his confirmation.

70 I can see how they could manage to rule that way.
Technically they're not banning carrying a firearm. Only carrying it openly. They may get away with this one.

Frankly I've never been a fan of open carry for a number of reasons. That said I don't have any issue with those that do and can see their arguments as being valid.

The courts view that phrase keep and bear arms much differently that the layman does. Bearing arms covers a wide range of behavior thus it is was left up to the court to interpret which meaning is correct.

Just as taxing bullets to ridiculous numbers will probably be ruled as not infringing on the 2A even tho the EFFECT will also within the scope of interpretation.

I believe not many will register their firearms if it comes to a national registry. There are a couple states with registration laws that owners have not complied with.

True, as far as it goes. The purpose of the 2nd amendment is the defense of the Republic, not merely one's self. But, the method the founders chose to implement this goal was with the unrestricted right to keep and bear arms.

112 "We have never assumed that individuals have an unfettered right to carry weapons in public spaces..."

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger Taney made a similar argument.

That is, in Dred Scott v. Sandford.

"It would give to persons of the negro race . . . the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, . . . and it would give them the full liberty of speech . . . ; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went."

The Democrat court held the freed negro without the rights of the citizen, and therefore without the rights to bear arms in public.

This Democrat court has simply chosen to extend that to all.

That one bears arms in defense of the state or against a state enemy, but does not bear arms against a rabbit (always with the hunting).

They expressly ignore Scalia's proof found in multiple state constitutions where one is referenced "bearing arms" against a home invader or in general defense of themselves and their loved ones.

Not entirely. It says that Congress is given the ability to redress rights an individual statement denies. It said nothing about auto-Judges.

But even applied to the states, it doesn't touch anything I wrote. "shall not be infringed" is much more broad a prohibition, and "School board" as "Congress" is still a strained reading.

Also, the reading of the 14th amendment flipped the *purpose* of the federal government making no religious decisions on its head. As the ACLU willingly demonstrated throughout the 20th century.

Pro gun subs on Reddit may think this is Fudd-lore, but I've always thought a criminal who spotted me open carrying might choose to amble by and shoot me in the back of the head before I even knew I was in danger. I'd much rather look like a sheep and potentially catch a criminal off-guard.

Actually for indoors it's an ok choice. You won't go deaf. There's some absolutely insane/cool target pistols that run .22, but they're kinda pricey. My suggestion if you're looking for a semi would be the Ruger SR22 or the Sig Sauer Mosquito. Both are super-modern do-it-all designs. Sig actually makes a 1911 chambered in .22, if you want to be fancy - but that's probably not the best all-rounder.

The thing you need to remember was that the people negotiating all this were politicians representing their states. They were worried about the new federal government clamping down on the states and taking over the prerogatives of the state governments. They very much wanted to retain these powers for themselves, not to tie their own hands. All the restrictions in the federal constitution and all that talk about limited, defined powers was about the new federal government.

You have to make LARGE donations to the Sheriff's re-election fund. That's how it works in most of CA.

Fresno County is a notable exception. It's rather like Texas when it comes to concealed carry, because Sheriff Mims isn't a shit-head. Which reminds me, I need to get started on my license. I feel nekkid without having one, like I did when I was in Texas.

It's not only difficult to find guns to buy, it's becoming difficult to buy spare parts for some older weapons. While you're waiting for guns to be in stock, I suggest buying spare parts for what you have, new or old. Especially springs and pins. There are lots and lots of parts sellers are on the Web, including some of the weapon manufacturers themselves.

Also, in many parts of California (and other blue areas), open carrying will result in trigger-happy cops rapidly showing up. Said cops will have absolutely no knowledge of the gun laws (though they likely believe that they do) and whether what you're doing is legal, and the presence of a gun will make them extremely twitchy.

260 The thing you need to remember was that the people negotiating all this were politicians representing their states. They were worried about the new federal government clamping down on the states and taking over the prerogatives of the state governments.

Which is a fair concern as we've all seen played out over the last 250 years.

But there is not a single person at that convention who would have disagreed with the statement "and all this applies at the state level, too"

for $200 or less (usually), the Heritage Rough Rider is considered an excellent single action .22 revolver, probably the best deal for the money. there are many others, including double action models. ditto semi-autos.
I have owned and carried the North American Arms Mini .22 for decades, but while reliable and utterly concealable, its tiny size is also a drawback as far as easy functionality goes. I practice a lot.

Started really heavily in California when the Black Panthers were walking around in the "open" with shotguns and rifles.

The previous one was mostly about automatic weapons but it was also about blacks defending themselves from the KKK in the depression years.

That was common in VA back in the day. What it would be like now in a blue area is likely not good.

In Orange County, CCW permits went to "shall issue" several years ago. But iirc, the sheriff who had decided that (who was an interim choice whose real job was a coroner) didn't run for reelection. I don't know what the current sheriff's stance is.
Posted by: junior



About 10 years or so ago, Orange County was thought to be pretty close to shall issue, but it turns out that the Sheriff was essentially selling the licenses for political contributions. He got busted for it and kicked out of office, IIRC.

I haven't kept up with things recently though, so I'm clueless on the current CCW situation there.

A .22, shot well, is oddly effective.
As a secondary choice, go with CCI MiniMags if you do have a semi-auto .22 carry pistol. They've been the only 'bet your life' reliable round....and they still occasionally have a dud.

At my required "extremism training" yesterday, my boss's boss said that all instances of extremism that he had experienced were due to religion. I just could not let that go. I told the group that I am a conservative practicing Catholic and therefore I oppose abortion on the scientific fact that it murders a human being. Then I asked if, like the peacefully demonstrating folks on Jan 6 who are being arrested because a few asshats broke some windows, should I be considered an extremist because some criminals who claimed to be prolife bombed abortion clinics. Naturally, folks said the peaceful protesters were insurrectionists. I asked, if so, then where were their weapons? None were confiscated. Where was the body count? The only person who died was killed by police. I made the point that, unless you are very specific about what you label extremist, anyone can be considered one depending on who is doing the interpretation, and if I'm not safe from this, neither is anyone else.

A Ruger/Taurus/Smith&Wesson lightweight revolver. But those 2" barrels don't give you much penetration, even with 40 grain CCI MiniMags.

If you want a semi-auto, the S&W M&P Compact might be the most reliable with the most ammo types, it's still a bit big, though. Walther makes a smaller .22, it's a bit finicky about ammo though.
Beretta makes good .22 autos as well.

402 It amazes me how ignorant the courts are on the 2nd amendment, or any of the Bill of Rights. Many founders argued the Bill of Rights was unnecessary since the power to regulate guns was not already in the Constitution and therefore unconstitutional but others believed they should make it abundantly clear the power to regulate guns doesn't exist and to reiterate that Congress has no such power. I just don't get it.

Same for hunting and fishing licenses.

Any state, city, county, etc can find the info on whether or not you have a gun.

Lots and lots and lots of businesses are interested in whether or not you are armed.

He probably meant Islam, but was too weenie to say so. It is a mystery to me why anyone would think they were somehow attacked by Christians. When, for example, has the Catholic Church ever forced you to do anything you didn't want to do? When has the Evangelical Lutheran Church ever demanded anything whatsoever from you? How about the Mormons? Did any of them offer to cut of your head for drawing a picture of Joseph Smith?

False equivalence is the hiding hole for cowards.

To be fair, this was mandated by the latest asshat in charge of the Army, and he was required to state something from his own experience of extremism. No idea what he was talking about specifically. He probably didn't have an idea, either.

414 Handguns, rifles, and shotguns are around, you may not get your first choice or the cheapest but they are around. Used guns, not so much.

Budsgunshop is one place, classic arms is another, midwayusa, brownells, jgsales, cdnnsports, aimsurplus, are all places where you can find a 9mm handgun of some sort, shotguns, and rifles, even AR's.

Ammo though is expensive and made of unobtanium in all but the most standard of cartridges. .22 LR is running 25-30 cents per round if you can find it. Luckygunner has 225 rounds of .22lr for about $120. .22 Mag is around but you have to look for it. Centerfire, 9mm and 45 are around but as expensive as rifle rounds unless you go to steel case. .223, .308, and 7.62x39 are in stock and expect between 60 cents to over 1 buck per round. Others are more expensive and hit and miss.

416 Something that is interesting is that the constitution makes no provision for the Supreme Court or that there is any jurisdiction concerning the "constitutionality" of any law.

All that was made up by the first Supreme Court and everyone's gone along since. They have no power. They have no say. All their rulings etc. are enforced by the various legal departments and police departments both Federal and State.

Was it Jackson who said: "how many divisions do they have"? In re: the Supreme Court ruling against him.

No way to enforce anything. And at the rate they're going that just may happen. It's what the sanctuary gun movements are all about. If the LE of a polity won't enforce illegal rulings/laws then there is no law.

I'd like us to all go back to the strict interpretation of the constitution and the first lawyer who stands up and starts in on penumbras and emanations gets strung up.

417 In 1956 my brother built a pipe bomb with dynamite, which was readily available then. No, he wasn't a bad kid...just very, VERY busy. Anyway, he wanted to detonate it but also wanted to make sure no one was hurt when he did. So he settled on the outhouse at the Chicago Northwestern station. He lit the fuse, dropped the pipe down the hole, headed for the north forty and all hell broke loose. It blew that outhouse to smithereens.

Brother's best friend John was his accomplice. When the bomb went off my dad's phone rang. It was John's mother. "Lloyd, is John there?" "No, April, he's not." "Well, is Terry there?" "No, he's not here either."

A long silence and then, "Did you hear that BOOM?"

We had railroad detectives on the doorstep the next day. Brother got shipped off to military school and things were much quieter in town after that.

419 Massachusetts has similar language. But by the time you have the "urgency or the need" to carry a firearm in public, you won't have time to wait the 8 months or so that it takes to get a license here.

Posted by: Formerly known as Skeptic at March 24, 2021 07:07 PM (FR+I0)

420 This case was apparently just about "open carry", and I see some folks saying, well, the Constitution doesn't say anything about open vs. concealed carry, so maybe they have that power?

I'd argue that you need to think about what kind of guns were available in the 18th century. Very few things well-suited for concealed carry. Open carry was pretty much the only way to bear arms back then, so I say it is protected by the 2nd Amendment. The Founding Fathers were indeed thinking about open carry when they wrote "shall not be infringed".

421 I got a shotgun, a few 22s and ammo so I'm not a risk of losing anything of value except my freedom and based on the complete capitulation by the armed-to-the-teeth "conservatives" to the pandemic hoax lock downs, the mask mandates and practically zero turnout at the election fraud protests, I'm sure removal of gun rights will finally get you gun enthusiasts off your butts. I mean one can overlook the biggest pandemic hoax and election fraud in the history of man... but by Go* infringing on your gun rights is totally OUT OF ORDER!!! Ha. I'm sure a comparative handful were out last Nov, Dec, Jan but the rest if you keyboard warriors deserve the predicament we're in.

423 Couple this with Caniglia v. Strom (see Forbes.com article from yesterday) being heard by the Supremes and you have a perfect storm re: gun rights. It has the potential to allow warrantless search and seizure of legal firearms based on "community caretaking".

Basically, if cops decide that the community needs safeguarding against "insurrectionists" and "domestic terrorists" (you know, conservatives!) they would be allowed to conduct warrantless raid to seize your firearms.

425 Compare the 9th Circuit to Gov. Kristi Noem.

9th Circuit: "We can do whatever the fuck we want. The law isn't settled until we get our way. We'll keep sending it up to SCOTUS to see if SCOTUS will do what we want."

Kristi Noem: "hurr durr all the experts I talked to said that we would definitely lose in court, so let's not even try."

We want people who fight, that was the best aspect about Trump. That's why we were pretty much always willing to forgive him for being too loud or too bold. We weren't going to hold it against him that he was willing to fight fight fight for us. 99% of the GOP isn't willing. Other than DeSantis I'm not seeing the party do any real fighting. The best Senators and Representatives we have can put out an on-point tweet from time to time, and get some "zingers" in during Congressional hearings.

426 ". . . or if the lawyers recommended by the Professional Class Karens of the Federalist Society are just from the Corporate Wing of the Uniparty.

I suspect the latter."

I started suspecting, and saying, that over a year ago.
Too many things kept coming from the Federalist Society, "libertarian" things, that were far from conservative, yet nobody seemed willing to identify the Federalist Society as the source.
And now we will see if Roberts suborns enough of Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett under the pretense of not offending the media or provoking the Democrats to pack the court to enable this rewrite of the 2nd Amendment.

427 So here we have a collision course between the "elites" trying really hard to ban all the guns, and the public buying guns and ammo so fast it can't be kept in stock, and the military and police leadership throwing in with the "elites" while the rank and file don't agree and just haven't openly defied them yet because the orders haven't been shocking enough. I don't know how this miniseries resolves itself.

432 Did the Judge rule that one couldn't carry a firearm at all?

I can see how some states would restrict open carry, but to have a judge prevent any carry is IMHO flaunting the US Constitution's 2nd Amendment.

But, such unilateral actions by predominantly Liberal Progressive judges would not surprise me.

Just saying

Posted by: The (Deplorable) MUSEman at March 25, 2021 06:33 PM (sxddN)

433 I predict the Supremes will not touch this topic unless and until a Republican is president again -- for the same reason they recently turned down multiple good opportunities to mess with Roe v. Wade.
The reason is that Congress is looking for any excuse to set aside the filibuster rule in order to push through a bill that packs the Court. And a solid conservative ruling about either guns or abortions would give Congress that excuse. Thus if either subject does come before the Court in the next 3+ years, the court will have to go against its conscience and move the status quo leftward. With that in prospect, better not to have taken the case at all.
