From the NRA brief, the fundamental flaw in logic in the County's position:

Another amicus brief is in.
The International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA), and the Independence Institute, in support of neither party. Authored by David Kopel. This is a hard hitting look at open carry, California style (Unloaded Open Carry - UOC) and why it is dangerous to all concerned. Why the court below erred in its conclusion that UOC was adequate and why concealed carry for ordinary citizens is the manner preferred by most police authorities. While I have yet to read more than a few pages (I'm on lunch break), I have attached it to this post. |

It's been a very busy day for the Peruta appeal (9th Circuit Court).
As I posted earlier, ILEETA filed an amicus brief. That was on Monday, the 30th of May. Here is a recap of what has happened: On 5.23.11 Plaintiff-Appellants Appellants’ Opening Brief. 5.25.11 Amici Amicus Brief for Congress of Racial Equality Inc.. Stephan Halbrook. 5.27.11 Amici Amicus Curiae Brief of National Rifle Association of America, Inc., In Support of Appellants And Reversal. Paul D, Clement. 5.30.11 Amici Amicus Brief International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association and The Independence Institute. David Hardy. 5.31.11 Amici Brief of Second Amendment Foundation and Calguns Foundation, Inc. The Calguns Foundation, Inc., Adam Richards, And Brett Stewart As Amici Curiae In Support of Appellants Seeking Reversal. Alan Gura. 5.31.11 Amici Brief of Amici Curiae Center For Constitutional Jurisprudence, Doctors For Responsible Gun Ownership, And Law Enforcement Alliance of America. John C. Eastman. 5.31.11 Amici Gun Owners of California Senator H. L. Richardson (Ret.) Amicus Brief In Support of Appellants. Don Kates. 1. Amicus Brief Exhibit AThis is all currently posted at http://michellawyers.com/guncasetrac...rutavsandiego/. This was the last day to file for amicus in support of (or in support of neither) the appellants. OK, this is a lot of reading to comprehend. I've skimmed all the briefs and they are all good. Some better than others. Yet they all attack San Diego County and the court below. Several attack the panel that decided Nordyke. The SAF amicus brief specifically mentions that they intend to relate the recent Prieto (now on appeal to the 9th) case with Peruta and state that they want orals on the same day (Gura says filings to that effect are due shortly). This is Gura playing hardball. Those of you that like a little "light" reading, enjoy! |

You've been a busy man, Al. Thanks for all of this. Hopefully, I'll get some time later today to digest some of these.

The Appellees (County) in Peruta v. San Diego have filed their response to the Appellants (Ed Peruta, et al) opening brief in the 9th Circuit. The Bradys along with the International Brotherhood of Police Officers and the Police Foundation have filed an amicus brief in support of San Diego.
The Bradys are, of course, pounding the table with, "In The Home!" Both briefs spend some time telling the court how the discretionary laws of CA are quite constitutional, as CA law allows unloaded open carry. They are both silent on how you can not carry openly (unloaded or loaded) anywhere within those GFSZ's! Even under Federal Law, you must have a license/permit to carry (issued by that State) in order to carry within 1000 feet of a school. CA has passed a similar law, so theoretically, you might be charged as violating both laws. It appears that San Diego has caught on to the fact that this case has a much larger scope/magnitude than just S.D. County alone: Quote:
The County then spends a few pages painting a spectacular picture of their licensing scheme and how fair it is. They then spend a few more pages explaining how the scope of the right does not include anything outside of the home... And even if it did, CA has provided for alternative methods of carry that are completely fair and do not substantially burden (Thank you, Nordyke panel) the right. Moving on. They contend that the Sheriffs' practices meet any standard of scrutiny. They then say that (are you sitting comfortably?): Quote:

Thanks, Al. Hopefully the appellees will have their contradictions inserted firmly into their nether regions.

Things are moving ahead, in this case.
Two amici have filed briefs, defending the practice(s) of the San Diego County Sheriff (and CA law in general). On the same day (8/12) that the Sheriff filed his response, the Brady's filed an amicus brief. Then on Friday (8/19) the LCAV (Legal Community Against Violence) filed an amicus brief. Here is what is interesting about these two briefs: There is no mention of the Ezell decision. It's almost as if they do not see that they are setting up the 9th Circuit to intentionally split with the 7th Circuit. That is one sure method of gaining cert before the SCOTUS. With both Williams and Masciandaro before the SCOTUS, this is something they really do not want to do - but here they are, doing it anyway. What I'm seeing is utter desperation in action. |

I see that the LCAV is also sticking to the "in the home" interpretation of Heller and McDonald.

I love when our opponents put all their eggs in a basket that has a gaping hole in the bottom. There will be egg on their shoes in due course.

The defendants are doing an excellent job of giving this case legs to get to a higher juducial level of review. Keep up the good work.

Peruta's reply brief was due yesterday, Sept. 6th. It must have been posted late at night, as it wasn't there by the time I called it a night.
It's available now, however and I have attached it to this post. Chuck Michel attacks and destroys everything the County has implied, ignored and generally misconstrued. The brief even goes so far as to wonder how the Nordyke panel could have gotten its decision so wrong, when the weight of Heller and McDonald were against it. All in all, a good read. |

I didn't have time to read the entire brief, but the early parts I read were excellent.

Interesting developments in the Peruta 9th Circuit appeals case.
Former SG Paul Clement was substituted into Peruta, yesterday. Today he filed a letter on the impact of A.B. 144 on the impact of the district courts ruling. This is the NRA playing the BIG GUNS, on a case that will impact carry laws outside of CA, if the 9th gets it wrong. |

By putting Paul Clement on the case, the NRA has just shown the 9th Circuit where they expect this case to go, regardless of the outcome.

With the recent (today, June 1st) decision in Nordyke, it is prudent to show some of what is going on in other cases.
From the currently stayed Peruta case: Quote:

I'm sure that everybody has wondered about all the carry cases, now at the 9th circuit?
The Peruta attorneys are noticing the court of all the cases that are somewhat related and are suggesting that all but Peruta and Richards be stayed. They are suggesting that a decision in these two cases will make or break the other cases. Appellants’ Notice of Additional Related Cases and Status Therof |

Like Richards, The defendants filed a 28J letter on the CA2 Kachalsky case. Here is Paul Clement's 28J reply.
Orals for this and the other 2 cases (Richards and Baker) will be heard tomorrow. |
