9th circus: No right to carry a concealed gun
While I was out, the 9th Circuit ruled on Peruta:
“The right of a member of the general public to carry a concealed firearm in public is not, and never has been, protected by the Second Amendment,” the court said in its summary, which can be seen in full here.
“Therefore, because the Second Amendment does not protect in any degree the right to carry concealed firearms in public, any prohibition or restriction a state may choose to impose on concealed carry including a requirement of ‘good cause,’ however defined is necessarily allowed by the Amendment,” it continued.
“There may or may not be a Second Amendment right for a member of the general public to carry a firearm openly in public, but the Supreme Court has not answered that question.”
As is the case in rulings that go against civil rights, the court had to misrepresent some things.

Do we appeal, not knowing who will be in the Scalia seat?
You know that the liberals will overturn Heller and McDonald 5-4 without any hesitation, “stare decisis” be damned. And Hillary has promised to do all she can to make that happen.
Some might not like Trump, but he has promised to support the Second Amendment and to appoint good judges. Look at his list of US Supreme Court nominees.

The verbal fine print says he’s not committed to that list.
What part of “That which is not prohibited is permitted” has become so obscure?

Trump doesn’t have a pro-RKBA record before his recent runs for President.
Then again we know we can’t trust Hillary.
