More from the AP:

In a victory for gun control advocates, a federal appeals court said Thursday people do not have a right to carry concealed weapons in public under the 2nd Amendment.

An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said law enforcement officials can require applicants for a concealed weapons permit to show they are in immediate danger or have another good reason for a permit beyond self-defense.

…

During oral arguments before the 11-judge 9th Circuit panel, Paul Clement, an attorney for the residents, argued that the self-defense standard should be sufficient and asking for more violates the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

It sure sounds like a violation. But then, the Ninth Circuit Court has never had much tolerance for that pesky Constitution.

Founding fathers: You have the right to keep AND BEAR arms.

Activist judges: I'm just not seeing where it says you can carry a gun. #2A
