No Doubt that "Shotgun Joe" Biden is Crying Today; Packing Heat Edition

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has pretty much held that people have a right to carry a gun. States can regulate that, somewhat, but they can't ban it.

Since the Ninth Circuit has a reputation for being the most liberal of the Federal appellate courts, this is rather stunning. And it does not bode well for states such as Rhode Island, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey and localities such as New York City, Nassau and Westchester counties, as well as Boston and other places that apply the "you gots to show us who wants to kill you" test before issuing a license.

Of course, the Chronicle has shit its pants over the ruling. The LA Times is a lot more matter-of-fact about it.

(H/T)
