"US Appeals Court Blocks California's Ban on Carrying Concealed Firearms in Public Places"

A new California law banning firearms in most public places has been blocked from taking effect as a court case challenging it continues. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved a temporary hold on the law, keeping in place a ruling by U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney who deemed it unconstitutional, citing a violation of the Second Amendment. Governor Newsom, a proponent of gun control, expressed disappointment with the decision, while the California Rifle and Pistol Association sees it as a victory for Second Amendment rights.
