Sorry Sean. Once I saw that the CalGunLaws server was swamped, I didn't want to be a part of the problem with crashing it.
Tom, unlike most rulings, this was not the written opinion. Expect that in a few days/weeks.
This was a direct ruling from the bench. Unusual, but not unprecedented.
Note also, the Judge ruled that the term, "handgun ammunition," was unconstitutionally vague on its face. Since just about every part of the law referenced this term, the entire law is void.
It will require the CA legislature to completely rewrite the law, but only after a thorough reading of the Judges opinion.
Will the State appeal? That's the 2 dollar question (can CA even afford an appeal?).
