NOT OVER YET. KAMALA HARRIS APPEALS NINTH CIRCUIT CONCEALED CARRY RULING

On February 27 California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris "filed a petition in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals... urging the court to review and reverse its decision in Peruta v. County of San Diego." - Awr HawkinsBREITBART

On February 13 Breitbart News reported the court struck down the "good cause" requirement for concealed carry permit applicants in CA. The court in essence ruled that the "mere desire to carry a gun, when applying for a concealed carry permit," is sufficient.

Peruta was heard by a three-judge panel, and Harris is asking the court to revisit the decision and reverse it.

Kamala Harris uses dirty tactics to get Peruta v. San Diego County reversed

Chuck Michel is the west coast counsel for the National Rifle Association, which funded the lawsuit. He said Ms. Harris‘ motion to intervene was far out of line because her office wasn’t part of the lawsuit, despite repeated requests from both plaintiffs and Sheriff Gore to get involved.

“They are trying to improperly influence the court,” Mr. Michel said in an interview. “The are stretching the rules to file in order to get their arguments in front of the court in the hopes that a liberal judge will get the message and ask for a vote himself.”

Since Sheriff Gore did not ask for review, the only way for a hearing by a larger panel of justices in the 9th Circuit is if one asks to go en banc.
