Well, there's no injunction yet so those who've put in permit applications should have them honored with merely putting self-defense as justification for the permit, right?

California's attorney general takes up court fight over gun laws

(Reuters) - California's attorney general on Thursday waded into a court fight over the state's strict gun laws, asking an appeals court to reverse itself and restore the leeway local governments had to decide who can carry a concealed firearm.

San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore has since said that he would not pursue further appeals in the case. But on Thursday, Attorney General Kamala Harris filed a petition asking the full 9th Circuit court to overturn the panel

It seems very odd that she would stay out of the fray for the whole course of the litigation, and then try to intervene at this late date. Does someone who has not been party to an action have any chance of having such a request granted?
 
My guess is that this is more of a political statemtent to her liberal supporters that she is "doing something" than an actual effort to overturn Peruta. I just wonder what will happen to the handgun roster now that she has overstepped her bounds with the microstamping issue. I'm hoping the whole roster gets tossed, though that's probably a pipe dream.

It has happened before with the 9th and it wasn't in our favor - look up Nordyke. I expect the full company of justices, (the ones closest enough to make a quorum, since they have so many justices in the 9th), will, indeed, reverse this decision and apologize to anyone offended by it.
 
She's still got some standing issues, particularly why she denied a request to be made a party to the lawsuit earlier, but now wants to join.
 
Update:


Looks like it was granted for the motion to extend time to file an appeal.




Before: O’SCANNLAIN, THOMAS, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence’s Motion to Extend Time for
Filing a Petition for Rehearing En Banc and Stay the Issuance of the Mandate, and
Proposed Intervenor State of California’s Motion to Extend Time to File a Petition
for Rehearing En Banc and Stay Issuance of the Mandate, both filed with this
Court on February 27, 2014, are GRANTED. Any proposed petitions for rehearing
filed with this Court by February 27, 2014 will be considered timely if this Court
grants the petitioners’ concurrently filed motions to intervene. This order does not
extend the time for filing petitions for rehearing for any petitioner who did not
move to intervene by February 27, 2014.

Submission with respect to the pending motions to intervene is deferred
pending further order of the Court. Issuance of the mandate is stayed pending
further order of the Court.
