It certainly was on the news. Here in CA, our legislature is moving. Now, when will some posters here start to move in response to the reality?
California does have it's toes in the legal side now. They have court rulings that it is not unreasonable to regulate concealed carry to the point that there is effectively a ban on concealed carry. They have another ruling that it is not unreasonable to regulate open carry to the point that there is effectively a ban on open carry. I can sort of see how either of these arguments are plausible. However, if neither form is allowed, there is a problem. The dissent on the open carry case pointed this out. While neither set of regulations alone are unconstitutional, CA gun regulation as a whole is another matter.
The court system works slowly. We'll see how things flow.
