"US Appeals Court Blocks California's Ban on Carrying Firearms in Most Public Places Again"

A federal appeals court has reinstated a lower court's block on California's ban on guns in most public places, just a week after the law was allowed to take effect. The ban, which was part of Senate Bill 2, faced legal challenges from concealed-carry permit holders and gun-rights organizations, leading to a back and forth in the courts. The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, divided public places into 26 categories where guns are prohibited, but the recent ruling has halted its enforcement once again.
