This was an appeal to the 9th circuit over the Alameda County CA ban on firearms on county property that resulted in the gun shows being unable to be held there.
The gun show organizer appealed a 1st amendment ruling that the county acted lawfully and wanted to add a 2nd amendment challenge.
The judges ruled in favor of the county on the 1st amendment and wasn't willing to allow the gun show organizers to amend their complaint to add the 2nd amendment challenge so the county "won" and therefore this ruling will probably not be appealed to the Supreme Court.
In othere words (if I am understanding the process correctly) this ruling now applies as precedent in all areas under the 9th circuit (CA, AK, AZ, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR, WA).
