The 9th federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Second Amendment protects the right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that Hawaii officials had violated George Young’s 2nd ammendment rights when he was denied a permit to openly carry a loaded gun in public to protect himself.

This is amazing ruling from what is normaly a bunch of crazy liberal judges.

That threshold question is: “Is the Scope of the Second Amendment limited to the inside of our home?

I'm at a loss... can anyone think of any other Constitutional protection that only applies inside one's domicile?
Freedom of speech? Assembly? Right to not make incriminating statements?

The answer is that the Heller court ruled well beyond the home.

In 2008 the United States Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 592, 171 L.Ed 2d 637, 128 S.Ct. 2783 (2008) declared “we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment.” The Court then cited Cruikshank as part of its historical analysis. Thus, Heller held that the right to bear arms for a lawful purpose was secured by the U.S. Constitution.

More importantly, Heller did not limit the right to bear arms. It specifically stated, “Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it ‘shall not be infringed.” The Court reiterated, “Our opinion is, that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right, originally belonging to our forefathers.”

We seen the limits forced on us by dishonest interpretations of these court rulings by the anti freedom types.

The case was about a house so it only applies in the house, the case was only about open carry so it only applies to open carry, the case was about carry in a car so it only applies to a car, the case only applies to private property so it only applies to private property, the case was about tasers so it only applies to tasers.

Then we well appeal and appeal until the cows come home, then we well pass a new law with a couple of word changes then say the ruling doesn't apply to the new law. Then start the process all over all the times denying the rights of the people over and over.

Or they just say the ruling was not about our state law and we well not change anything until we are force to and then we well appeal that.

Or the courts just refuse to hear any further cases thus denying rights for decades.

Thus what appears to be a good court ruling is defeated thru the process and the peoples rights are denied for many years.

Thanks FI, perspective(s) I apparently had never considered per se which causes me to wonder if the powers to be sit in a smoke filled, elegant wood paneled, of course sitting comfortably in overstuffed & well worn leather chairs, chatting about how to consciously decide which aspect of a particular subject the courts will screw with next.

Again appreciate the perspective presented.

Based on your scenario the only way to settle this is by the hard way or as some may say by the easy way.

There is always hope that a good solid shall not SHALL NOT INFRINGE ruling could rectify the situation.

BINGO!

Every court (so far) to consider the 2nd Amendment mentions 'shall not be infringed' in passing, then proceeds to spill much ink arguing over which level of scrutiny is required to justify the very INFRINGEMENT at issue in the case.

Besides that, no.

Saturday 15 September 2018 is the filing deadline. No Enbanc petition by the 15th, then it is out of the 9th Circuit’s hands.

Hawaii is definitely prepping for an Enbanc hearing, but the filing is down to the wire. I hope they screw it up and file late.
