The 9th Circuit court out there on the left coast has stated that the second amendment does not grant citizens the right to carry concealed firearms.
But California won’t let you open carry so in the context of the law in California–which is relevant because the case was about the law in California–the court’s decision means that you do not have the right to bear arms at all without the State’s permission.
You are prohibited.
Writing the dissent, Judge Consuelo M. Callahan observed that,
(Fox News) “In the context of present-day California law, the Defendant counties’ limited licensing of the right to carry concealed firearms is tantamount to a total ban on the right of an ordinary citizen to carry a firearm in public for self-defense,” Callahan wrote.
“Because the majority eviscerates the Second Amendment right of individuals to keep and bear arms as defined by Heller and reaffirmed in McDonald, I respectfully dissent,” Callahan said.
The court used the second amendment to disarm you even though the 2nd amendment was enumerated to keep the government from having complete control over who could keep and bear arms.
