The Peruta case at the District Court level is documented on the Internet Archive. The link will take you to the archived docket information and all the filings that were archived. The judgment is item #64.
 
Metal God and Al Norris, thanks for the reading. I had no idea judges/lawyers were so long winded, yet elegant. The initial decision by the 9th circuit seems EXTREMELY bulletproof (ha what a pun), so I am shocked that it was overturned in en banc, though I haven't seen the video yet.

I feel that my thoughts match the 9th circuit initial decision and the "good cause" portion of the San Diego law is a loop hole to deny as many people from carrying as possible. I'd like to see the SCOTUS actually take this case, for good or bad.
 
As Al pointed out . The way they over turned it was by ignoring the fact CA while the case worked through the courts banned open carry as well . By only focusing on conceal carry they were able to narrowly rule on the case . At worst the court should have sent the case back for trial based on open carry now being banned . When Peruta was first heard in 2012 unloaded open carry was still legal so Peruta still had an outlet to carry The state argues open carry is still allowed in unincorporated areas of CA and to be fare there is a lot of that area here .

The two glaring problems is

1) The likelihood of one needing a firearm for self defense out in the middle on nowhere is highly unlikely compared to needing one at Plaza Manor estates on Plaza Blvd in the heart of the city . I have personal experience with this location . After a back injury I did armed security for the place and we had some crazy things go on there . This was pushing 20 years ago but I still would not be there with out a firearm for self defense .

2) The regulations to carry in an unincorporated area are very restrictive . You literally must be out in the middle of the forest to open carry .

So the states claim that you can still carry in the majority of areas in CA is a red herring .

It would be along similar lines that you have freedom of speech so long as no one can hear you :)
 
They've only been granting cert to one case a week so far. That has to change this month, I expect the pace to pick up considerably starting Monday. Only 4 more days to issue orders!
 
In this mornings live blog, I thought it was rather humorous when Amy (I believe it was her doing the live blog) answered a question about nothing about Peruta: "Yeah. Keeping us on pins and needles."

I'm beginning to wonder if they are going to hold it over for the October 2017 session.
