Appeals court: 2nd Amendment protects open carry of guns
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Second Amendment protects the right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that Hawaii officials had violated George Young's rights when he was denied a permit to openly carry a loaded gun in public to protect himself.
The decision reversed a lower court ruling that sided with officials who said the amendment only applied to guns kept in homes.
"We do not take lightly the problem of gun violence, which the State of Hawaii 'has understandably sought to fight,'" Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain wrote. "But, for better or for worse, the Second Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense."

But it shows that the 9th circus doesn't want shit like this getting to the Supreme Court for a final decision, not with the coming conservative majority.
They prefer to have these issues die in the lower courts now so they can get get their preferred decision later when they have control.
Their agenda ain't dead, just delayed.
