From the order
In light of our disposition of the same issue in Peruta v. County of San
Diego, No. 10-56971, — F.3d — (Feb. 13, 2014), we conclude that the district
court in this case erred in denying Richard’s motion for summary judgment
because the Yolo County policy impermissibly infringes on the Second
Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense.
REVERSED and REMANDED.

Case Challenging California's Yolo County Gun Carry Permit Law Brought Back from Dead

Brian Doherty|Mar. 5, 2014 7:45 pm



The Second Amendment Foundation and The Calguns Foundation earned a significant victory today when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case of Richards v. Prieto, challenging the handgun carry license issuing policy of Yolo County, California, Sheriff Ed Prieto.

The case was originally filed in 2009 as Sykes v. McGinness, and challenged not only Yolo County's policies, but Sacramento County's then-restrictive practices as well. SAF, Calguns and two private citizens, Adam Richards and Brett Stewart, continued pursuing the case against Yolo County after Sacramento County agreed to relax its policy....

The Richards case was argued at the same time, and to the same panel, that earlier decided Peruta v. County of San Diego, a similar case challenging overly-restrictive carry license policies. Yolo County and Sheriff Prieto argued that their policies were distinguishable from those struck down in Peruta, but apparently the three-judge panel unanimously disagreed.

Hmm, seems like some level-headedness is actually present in the leaders of CA, they just need some political cover to avoid being shouted down... Hopefully Peruta will continue to reverberate; the more case history decided by its precedent, the more irreversible it becomes.

Go Calguns!

The counties will fall like dominoes now....

As long as SCOTUS upholds these rulings.

I know what you meant... but just to be clear.... "Courts" not "leaders"
 
I would be happier if this ruling came from a different panel rather than the same one that decided Peruta. A separate panel citing Peruta while it was being considered for en banc review would give a better sense of the mind of the court as a whole. But this is just the same panel citing itself so it doesn't really say anything new.
