Breaking: Ninth Circuit Rules “No Right” to Carry Firearms, Either Openly or Concealed

The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit just ruled that there is “no right” to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, according to the NRA.

 

 

The gun rights organization said the ruling affects multiple states under the Ninth Circuit, although several of which are “constitutional carry” states that don’t require a permit.

 

The case, GEORGE YOUNG, JR. V. STATE OF HAWAII, challenged the state’s firearm laws demanding that residents seeking a license to openly carry a firearm in public must demonstrate “the urgency or the need” to carry a
firearm and must be “engaged in the protection of life and property.”

 

According to the opinion:

 

After careful review of the history of early English and American regulation of carrying arms openly in the public square, the en banc court concluded that Hawai‘i’s restrictions on the open carrying of firearms reflect longstanding prohibitions, and therefore, the conduct they regulate is outside the historical scope of the Second Amendment. The en banc court held that the Second Amendment does not guarantee an unfettered, general right to openly carry arms in public for individual self-defense. Accordingly, Hawai‘i’s firearms-carry scheme is lawful.

 

Furthermore, the Ninth Circuit also pointed out that it has “previously held that individuals do not have a Second Amendment right to carry concealed weapons in public,” hence why the NRA reported the case also concerned concealed carry.
