Folks,
California gun rights and criminal defense attorney John Brophy has passed away suddenly at the age of 78. Despite his age, he was in extremely good health, still drove, walked as fast as anybody, didn't need a cane, etc.
Sigh. "Sudden natural causes", probably heart attack or stroke, at home.
John was a “veteran of the CCW warsâ€. During the period when Police Chief Eugene Byrd of Isleton (Sacramento County) was taking a pro-CCW stance, John was his legal advisor and when then-attorney general Dan Lungren halted processing of the Isleton permits, John filed a Writ of Mandamus suit on behalf of Byrd and some of his applicants, successfully forcing Lungren to obey California law and process the Isleton permits.
He was also one of the two attorneys on the lawsuit against AB1044 now in progress, in which the plaintiffs are myself, SAF and CCRKBA. Despite his loss, remaining attorney Dan Karalash is prepared to go forward and we're not delaying the preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for the 5th of Feb.

I'll be there.
RIP, John. You were one of the good guys.
