"Federal Court Temporarily Upholds California's Public Concealed Carry Ban"

A California law that restricts gun owners from carrying firearms in many public spaces was set to go into effect on New Year's Day but faced a temporary injunction labeling it as contrary to the Second Amendment. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has put the injunction on hold, allowing the law to remain in place while further appeals are considered. The law, which was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, designates 26 types of "sensitive" places where firearms are prohibited, even for permit holders, and requires private businesses to explicitly allow concealed weapons if they choose to permit them. This development follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a similar law in New York, demanding gun laws align with historical firearm regulation traditions.
