Heh. That’s one way to put today’s Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision:
9th Cir. rules that the 2d Amendt protects the right to carry handguns for protection, strikes CA ban. (PDF) http://t.co/xbTElCA0oC #RKBA

9th Cir. decision emphasizes that the "bear arms" language is not not an empty phrase. pic.twitter.com/rN6ll5Xari

CA had required handgun applicants to show "good cause" for having one. 9th Cir. strikes that requirement. #RKBA pic.twitter.com/KfF4vgY2dh

San Diego policy specifically rejected personal safety as a "good cause" to have a handgun. #RKBA pic.twitter.com/iY89sgpHsf

9th Cir. essentially gives state a choice: it must allow either open or concealed carry. Cannot prohibit both. #RKBA pic.twitter.com/TZvmOD4Pv4

Let’s go over that again:
WOW. 9th Circuit rules CA's restrictive CCW policy to be unconstitutional. !!!!!

Ninth Circuit found Second Amendment requires the ability to carry a firearm outside the home.

Oh, we hope he is! Always entertaining to see Dems lose it over losing to the Constitution.
How odd. An amendment that protects the “right to keep and bear arms” might protect the right to keep and bear arms: http://t.co/sqZZ2dVFBA

Right?
The Ninth Circuit? WTF? Did I wake up in Bizzaro US?
— The H2 (@TheH2) February 13, 2014
Oddly enough, no. This really was that Ninth Circuit Court.
Toasts the 9th circuit under the never say never rule. #Cheers #2A

We’ll take it, of course. But Piers Morgan is a different story:
What hope for gun sense in America when its judges do this? > http://t.co/8ytfHY5lYN

Judges don't make the law, you knucklehead. @piersmorgan

What hope for the law if they don’t? RT @piersmorgan: What hope for gun sense in America when its judges do this? > http://t.co/iuqJEEzIeN

Poor Musket.
44 school/college shootings in America since Newtown > http://t.co/wRDcliLPJk

Total number of school/college shootings in UK since Dunblane massacre & gun law changes in 1996/7 = ZERO. #GunControlWorks

Nice try, pal.

Indeed. But somehow, Morgan is much more offended by our Constitution.

It’s just more than he can handle. He’d much rather preach to us about ethics when he has none.

Maybe Piers Morgan will have a chance to address that with NRO’s Charles C.W. Cooke, whose debate offer still stands:
Afternoon, @piersmorgan. Would you like to debate the Second Amendment, and its history, meaning, and jurisprudence with me on your show?
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 13, 2014
Go for it, Piers. What’ve you got to lose? Other than your last shred of dignity, that is.
https://twitter.com/ChrisBarnhart/status/434049949701902336
Good question. And things could get even rougher for Piers pretty soon:
It’s not just California. New Jersey is on the radar too. #2A http://t.co/FL1yuPUN32

.@JohnEkdahl reminds me that a petition for cert. at SCOTUS is pending in a similar case out of the 3rd Circuit. http://t.co/2EyDBa49TN

Won’t somebody give him a hug?
