And just think, this ruling came from a case in the 'land of fruits and nuts.' Edward Peruta challenged the concealed carry policy of the San Diego County Sheriff. When Peruta lost at the district court level that decision was reversed on appeal by a 3 judge panel of the 9th. Circuit (essentially stating that a responsible, law abiding citizen has a Second Amendment right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense) both the State of California and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence sought to "intervene," after the appeals court ruling, primarily in the hope of obtaining an 'en banc' rehearing before the entire 9th. Circuit, which would have also given them standing to further appeal to the SCOTUS if they didn't like the ruling by the full 9th. Circuit. 2 of the 3 Judges on the 9th. Circuit panel said, "NO" and the intervention motions were denied.

Here is the actual ruling/order:
