And to think...when originally asked to not OC I was told then (4 months ago) that they expected a result in 6 months. . .
Good thing I decided to OC again!
I think you should OC all the time
. The OC hiatus was IMO more a showing of solidarity and good faith relationship buildingon our part with our coalition friends atCalgunswho have a successful track record of holding the line in CA on 2A issues andhave neutered the State's AW law though skillful (and entertaining)maneuvering
. And they very strongly backed with $$$$$our UOC arrestees and are still backing one of them.
4/5 months for results from the three judge panel was only said because if I said 2 months and it took 3, I wouldn't be wrong
. Also keep in mind that any effect Nordyke will have can be delayed if it is appealed to the full 9th Circuit (the circuit may likely still passbut even that decisionmay take months)or to SCOTUS (add two years if cert. is granted).
UOC isstill likely with us for years. I think a challenge to 12050 LTCs "good cause" will be one of the first cases out of the starting block following incorporation. If "good cause" supported by Heller/Nordyke can be found to be "self defense" then we get basically shall issue in CA. Or the courts could say that NO the state can set whatever requirentsit wants even a ban, as CC is not protected by 2A,because people have the right to LOC (we still get what we want - then watch out for the "Defense Walks"). The "walks" I think willbegin regardless after Nordyke even if it is only pushed on the forums.
I'm an OC to the max proponent (I do believe it isthe superior carry methodgenerally) but shall issue CCW will help more in the short term to be safer. I'll still back UOC even after that success as it is needed to promote carryissues in order to eventually get LOC (the Right)and show that normal people own and carry lawfully and are not to be fearedover mere possession.
