BREAKING: San Diego Sheriff Won’t Seek En Banc Decision on Peruta

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

 

calgunlaws.com has posted San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore’s press release announcing that he won’t ask the Ninth Circuit court of appeals for an en banc review of the recent Peruta decision. That’s the recent ruling by a three-judge panel finding that – shockingly – the Second Amendment RKBA actually extends outside the home. Even in the Golden State. Gore justifies his sidestepping a very hot political potato thusly: “The legislature certainly has the power to amend California’s firearm carry process, and the Ninth Circuit has the ability to bring its own motion to rehear the decision of the three member panel en banc. However, while the court’s decision clearly involves a question of exceptional importance, and conflicts with decisions of other United States Courts of Appeals, the opinion provides clear guidance in the context of issuing CCWs in California.” This likely isn’t over. As always, watch this space.   [h/t DrVino]

  2. Usually, a decision not to appeal like this is due to the fear that the case could go to the Supremes, resulting in a ruling that could apply nationwide. The anti-constitution crowd is deathly afraid that the USSC could re-assert the RTKBA nationwide.

    • This just solidifies the circuit split, and the petition for cert in the 3d Circuit case is up for consideration. Not sure if this is the motivating factor here. I suspect that local politics are a bigger factor.

    • Yeah as former DC mayor Adrian Fenty how that works out. He had people begging him not to appeal Heller, but he was convinced that he would win if he just appealed it high enough.

      And the importance of Heller was that at long last we got the “individual” vs. “collective” right settled. Every judicial victory since has been built upon this.

  3. The good sheriff is saying his re-election is more important and the ghost gun crew in sacremento need to tighten the law. He is a coward

  4. My UTS gen 2? Has no laser or light, but runs like a top. I have not once experienced any FTF issues, however, I have not tried 3 inch shells. We shoot birdshot all day long on the weekends and this is a fun, very very light , short and handy weapon. FYI, if you try to install any standard AR grip, only ones without the rounded web of your hand extension will fit.

  5. March 6th is the date. Some legal minds over on Calguns have stated that they doubt a 9th Circuit judge who was not on the ruling will be able to convince the entire 9th to review this case as it cites Heller and is supposedly a pretty airtight case.

    There will undoubtedly be lawsuits for the foot draggers in certain counties but this is incredible news. Assuming we don’t get a new judgement from the 9th, pigs will be flying and hell will be freezing over in about two weeks. Amazing. As a lifelong Californian, I truly never thought this day would come. Thank you NRA, Edward Peruta and Michel & Associates for seeing this through!

  6. .22 Plinkster, eh?

    Nice to know that by the time Miculek crosses the Great Divide, there’ll be others to keep the banner flying.

    “… ran outside and kept attacking the guard?” Did the guard get chased outside, chase Kaptain Kleaver outside or what?

    Nice that the Arizona LEOs didn’t arrest the kid and he apparently wasn’t expelled; sounds like the lockdown was just long enough to verify the nature of the pistol. Time for a new girlfriend.

    Sure better than the kids who were expelled for playing in the front yard of one of their homes…

    No Kansas or Missouri mayors gone over to the dark side.

    I can live with this DD.

  7. these sentences are a pathetic amount of time for what they did. but even more pathetic is the sentences that the Dodger fans got that beat up Brian Stow. one guy got 4 years and the other got 8. Brian Stow suffered way worse and longer lasting injuries than the victims of this article.

  9. I do not need a licence to exercise any of my rights, except for my second amendment rights! Why is this assumed to be acceptable? And, don’t reply with driving. Privilege, not a right.

  11. This is a terrible tragedy. I hate hearing about dead kids.

    in other news, the whole world is leaning to the left these days. those guys get a pass and if you’re a righty you will be made to suffer.

    seems to be the way of things more and more. and accelerating.

  12. “However, while the court’s decision clearly involves a question of exceptional importance, and conflicts with decisions of other United States Courts of Appeals, the opinion provides clear guidance in the context of issuing CCWs in California.”

    Translation: “We can’t negate your Constitutional Right in that way any more, but there’s lots more ways we can do so. Look: We’ll be just like Chicago in court!”

  13. Yeah this guy is a POS that has a karma return in progress..however..it still bothers me ( retired Police Sgt.) that your weapons can be taken prior to any due process, based on nothing more than an accusation.

  14. Over YOUR dead body. My son works for the government. I won’t say for who but he just spent 2 months in Jordan. He remarked how safe he felt even at night. He also stated a guy with a machine gun was on every corner…and the populace is disarmed. Safe? U BET. Or not. The REAL PALISTINE.
