A federal appeals court says people do not have a right to carry concealed weapons in public under the 2nd Amendment.
An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling Thursday.
The panel says law enforcement officials can require applicants for a concealed weapons permit to show they are in immediate danger or otherwise have a good reason for a permit beyond self-defense.

Another stellar opinion from the worthless 9th..
“In immediate danger” = dead in a minute. Prove that, then apply for a concealed permit – wait, you are already dead! Permit denied…
Is this the infamous 9th Court of Appeals in leftist, fruits-and-nuts California?
I thought this was already over-ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court.
This looks like still another attempt to “bleed” the NRA and all Second Amendment advocates.
WHY aren’t these particular judges being sued for denying citizens their Constitutional civil rights?
“The danger is not, that the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defense of private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
