Carry On

The biggest win was stopping the “private building consent rule,” which declares all private property that is open to the public to be a prohibited place—unless the property owner expressly allows individuals to enter the premises with a firearm… The court also enjoined the ban on carrying in a place where alcoholic beverages were consumed from taking effect… And the court prevented the ban on carrying at public demonstrations from taking effect.

So the Ninth Circuit has immediately declared they’re going to handle this case en banc without allowing a three judge panel to hear it first… [Watch]
