A lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of the law. But on Thursday, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it, saying, "There is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public." The odd part was its admission that the Constitution may protect the right of citizens to carry guns openly. California doesn't allow that either, but the open-carry ban, the court said, was not challenged in this case.
