Second Amendment case Peruta vs. California
may be heading to Supreme Court
By Steve Kurtz, Georeen Tanner. May 15, 2017
The Second Amendment is only 27 words, but Americans have used millions of words arguing over what it means. It guarantees "the right of the people to keep and bear arms." But which people, what arms, and under what circumstances?
Two milestone cases involving the Second Amendment that reached the Supreme Court are District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), declaring an individual has a right to own a firearm, and McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010), affirming the Second Amendment applies to state law.
WHY JUSTICE GORSUCH WILL HAVE AN IMMEDIATE
(AND BIG) IMPACT ON THE SUPREME COURT
Now, if the Supreme Court decides to hear it, there may be a third major case in a decade: Peruta v. California.
At issue is the right to keep and bear arms outside the home. The Heller case specifically applies to situations within the home. Those who have petitioned the Supreme Court to hear the case are hoping the justices will see it as a logical extension of their earlier opinions.

The "good cause" judgement for CCW permit approvals has always been beyond infringement of rights. No one should have to claim anything other than their innate right of self defense, added to which it should not be down to how a Sheriff's department feels on a given day - as well probably as whether the applicant is seen as being of sufficient community standing. Above all, a law abiding citizen should need no permit anyways.
