SAN DIEGO A federal appeals court cleared the way Wednesday for law-abiding San Diegans to carry guns in public for protection. But dont expect a flood of concealed weapons permits to hit the streets just yet.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said he is waiting for the latest ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to become official and making sure there are no last-ditch appeals before he begins to issue any such permits under looser, less restrictive guidelines.
Nearly 1,600 people have applied to the Sheriffs Department for concealed-carry gun licenses since February, when the 9th Circuit ruled that the countys strict issuing policies violated the publics Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Another jurisdiction falls to freedom
I concur.
I would say I’m consistently baffled by this fear of guns by the government; however, an armed populace is more difficult to control and subdue if the government deems it necessary.
Nothing wrong with a law abiding citizen carrying a concealed weapon. Nothing at all.
The government and elite are terrified of an armed populace because they know what the endgame is when they finally crash the economy to total reset.
They’ve dodged a few big ones so far, but the laws of exponents as applied to money with no backing will not be denied and they are pell mell leveraging debt up to the hilt still.
Excellent point Axenolith. Had not thought about it regarding our economic demise. Thanks for point it out.
Guess I need to get in gear and get some weapons training under my belt along with a purchase or two. My daddy will finally be happy :)
“I would say Im consistently baffled by this fear of guns by the government.”..
Have you ever considered the number of gun owners in this country? Take Wisconsin for example. Deer hunter numbers are approximately 600,000. Add that number to Michigan, Pennsylvania, and all the other states with similar such numbers. Put together, those same gun owners make up the LARGEST ARMY in the World. Granted, they need proper leadership to organize them but also consider MANY of those same gun owners are military veterans with leadership experience. IF you wished to take total and ultimate control of this country, what would you consider to be the number one obstacle in your way? GUNS and ammunition. IMO, THAT is why this government is so dead set on getting control of ALL guns. Dispute it if you will, I believe it to be correct.
I never could understand why there should be a “means test” to exercise a Constitutional Right.
Perhaps I worded it wrong. I know the government fears an armed populace in which they have no control.
Hence the operative word in my sentence “would”. I’m under no illusions as to WHY the government wants to control guns and ammo. If you control the means by which we can defend ourselves, people who have no gumption will cower and cave.
I would like to think I am not a cowering, simpering idiot :)
No dispute coming from me.
