SCOTUS denies cert in first 2nd Amendment case with Kavanaugh on the bench

[Aim1]

So much for thinking he'd help push the US Supreme Court into taking 2nd Amendment cases. Or perhaps he thought this wasn't the right case to rule on.

Kavanaugh makes no difference on attempt to upend Calif. concealed handgun law

Bob Egelko | on November 5, 2018

Opponents of California’s restrictions on carrying concealed handguns in public lost a U.S. Supreme Court challenge last year but were hoping for different results with the recent arrival on the court of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose past decisions took a broad view of the right to own firearms.

But after the first go-round, the state law remains intact.


The court on Monday, without comment, left intact lower-court rulings against two Sacramento County residents who were denied concealed-gun permits more than a decade ago. They challenged the California law that lets county sheriffs decide whether to issue the permits and claimed that in Sacramento County, the sheriff reserves handgun licenses for political supporters.

This one is just too borderline. If we were discussing the merits of the case then sure, but the actions of a single justice don't really fall into our AO.
