In a win for Second Amendment rights advocates and a blow to California gun control measures, a federal judge ordered the state accept concealed carry permit applications from out-of-state resident on Thursday, Aug. 22. After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many states' gun restrictions that did not align with the United States' "historic tradition of firearms regulations," California passed a handful of laws to restrict the ability of citizens to carry weapons in public.

One of those laws passed in the Golden State barred out-of-state residents from applying for concealed carry permits. However, gun rights groups challenged that restriction, saying that it failed the U.S. Supreme Court's historical test.

District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett agreed with that argument, noting that the state had not found any past laws showing such limits are "part of a historical tradition of this nation."

Garnett also ruled that California's waiting time for permits is too long and unconstitutional. Residents in the state can reportedly wait up to 18 months to get concealed carry permit.

Additionally, the lawsuit challenged exorbitant fees, required psychological exams and discretionary denials. However, Garnett said these issues will have to wait until she can review the merits of the entire case…

The idea that some Americans have to even FIGHT for their rights is sickening.

Do people have to have a waiting time, pay exorbitant fees, undergo required psychological exams and face discretionary denials to exercise their RIGHT TO VOTE?

A right is a right.   Demonrats and gun haters can kiss my lily white ass.

Excellent news. Unfortunately, I still won't be able to carry on my two day trip to L.A. right after the election even though I'll have my P220 and a couple mags with me at all times in the car in a locked up case, and out and loaded in the hotel room.

Not a good idea.
When they jack your car, they will get your P220, too.

Not to mention, a locked case in your car is useless when seconds count.
Your best bet is to give up the car and run, hoping they can't hit a moving target.
Better to be a live witness than a dead victim.   That car and gun are not worth your life.

Best bet?  
Stay the flick out of criminal-friendly L.A.!
