A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit ruled Tuesday that restricting the open carry of firearms
to police and security-related personnel infringes
the Second Amendment.
Breitbart News reported
that the ruling was handed down in an appeal of George Young’s suit
against Hawaii. Young sued after being twice denied a license to carry a
gun outside his home and a District Court sided with Hawaii. The Ninth
Circuit’s three-judge panel sided with Young, noting that the “Second
Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for
self-defense.”
With this 9th Circuit decision, a Hawaiian court decision was over-turned. Not a good day for anti-gun activists.
