    WOW! I would NOT have guessed this from the 9th!

    Florida is one of the few states that does NOT allow open carry. I hope it now is challenged as a constitutional right HERE.

    Hopefully the SCOTUS takes this up and agrees.

    They left it up to states to legislate that particular part of the law

    When police walk about do people stare at the guns on their hips? Hmmm, never noticed.
    Now if someone was carrying a Eddie Janis .45 I’d probably stare and likely walk up and ask to see it.

    I live in Colorado, an open carry state. In 20 years here I've seen three open carry firearms, and two of those were in Cabelas. I had a short discussion with the third guy about his SIG.

    Cops wear guns. Cops get accused of shooting people daily. The thing to not have is fear.

    Yes... the 9th is one of 6 circuit courts that ruled the 2nd protects the right to carry in public.

    Hopefully this makes it's way to the USSC, and they finally rule on this, forcing every state to be "shall issue" for CCW and that CCW be valid in all 50 states, as they should be via the full faith and credit clause.

    No, it's not. Rank and file officers and agents oppose gun control by 95%.

    The only "law enforcement" supporting asinine gun control are political appointees parroting the wishes of the antigun, anticonstitution politicians above them.

    So, the 95% of serving rank and file officers don't count?

    How cowardly have we become as a nation when we fall into panic over the mere sight of a holstered sidearm??

    There was a time when such was universally accepted without comment. The small community where I live it is rare to go to the store without seeing someone with an openly carried personal weapon... and no one cares.

    ...And comparing carrying a sidearm as somehow equivalent to waving a Nazi flag is insulting hyperbole at its worst.

    Of course he did.

    The 9th is taking a beating thanks to Trump.

    Suddenly they're doing their jobs and judging using the law and the Constitution instead of their tear ducts.

    Wonder why.

    Because of SCOTUS slap-downs, reviews of their most recent blunder, and discussion of reforming the 9th circuit.

    They've never honestly acknowledged the Constitution before. So, why now?

    possibly but not. Because if that is so then we have zero impartiality when it comes to judging which is a severe ethical problem..

    Well, thankfully, having a non concealed weapon for self defense isn't the same thing as advocating a Nazi ideology by waving a flag around. One wonders how then you feel about those in the alt left ANTIFA who so closely resemble Nazis or Fascists from yesteryear? I certainly would suggest that expecting that one can, and should be able to defend themselves in public very much undercuts the victim culture that you folks on the left cling to.

    To see that all you have to do is look at the ruling on the travel ban by the 9th.

    They clearly did not use the law to come to their ruling.

    Yet courts all across the country have ignored the Constitution in favor of protecting governmental power and overreach instead of the rights of the people under the Constitution. The courts have been very much in jeopardy of losing all credibility, appearing to be nothing but a government approved rubberstamping machine instead of part of the checks and balances against rampant abuse of the Constitution by the government.

    ruling will be overturned by En Banc.

    Supreme Court has ruled consistently 7 to 2 not to hear any appeals of gun laws. Unless you guys get 2 more Conservatives this will not change.

    right now there are only TWO Judges on the Supreme Court who will accept new gun cases dealing with concealed carry or assault weapons bans, and thats Gorsuch and Thomas.
