9th circuit COA strikes down CA carry ban!

[detroit_fan]

County of San Diego, so they legally cannot appeal.  They’re not a part of the case, so their desires are irrelevant. However, there’s a legal trick found in the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure that allows certain kinds of parties to ask the court for permission to be added to a case in certain situations (Rule 24)....

interesting, thanks for the link.  i hope they deny. if they overturn this, SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in, or we can be sure that they will weigh in once the liberals get the majority of the court.
