So now business owners are not even allowed the right to protect their lives in their place of business unless its closed? If its open to the public it isn't considered private? That is hog wash.

If you own a convenience store within 1000' of a school, I guess you need to keep the handgun locked up under the counter. When the armed robber comes in, you would have to call a time out and ask him nicely to wait while you unlock the pistol case.

No, the judge made pretty clear that "inside a business or residence is too clear" to be overridden. But since private property is not defined he took the initiative and defined it.

The problem is like the people coming out of Turners Pasadena. They are protected inside, but in the parking lot, which I am sure is within 1000 feet of a school is not protected. You can not leave Turners Pasadena without a handgun locked in a fully enclosed secure locked container under this new definition if it gets made case law.

No I think the judge is saying in that case bend over kiss your arse goodbye because the badguy KNOWS you can't have your gun unlocked and by the time you can get to it your toast. Although your take on it puts this vision in my head of it happening. I so got to learn not to drink coffee as I read the threads spewing it on the laptop is bad.:lol:

What? Like this guy? His wasnt locked up. More thanlikely in a1000 ftschool zone. Clearly not unloaded. On private property that is open to the public. The difference here is that they are not looking to make this man an example by putting his head on a pike near the city walls for all to see.

Maybe we should all take a trip down south and set up lawn chairs in the judges front yard and have a BBQ, :lol: Under his definition of "not private property" private property seems like we would be OK to do so.

This is sounding like a great idea! And if this judge doesn't live within a school zone we could UOC all day and night...

I believe something to this effect happened when one of the judges in FL ruled that private property could be seized from citizens for "municipal use" then subsequently sold to another private party (Pfizer). One of the judges' homes was seized and given to a private business...

LOL amazing how fast that judge changed opinions on the whole eminent domain thing. Although I think I will pass on that BBQ since I hate LA traffic with a passion. LOL

I'm sorry to hear that things appear to be getting tougher. I wish there was more I could do... but you'll have to settle for my moral support. Hang in there buddy.

Maybe I'm hopelessly optimistic, but is it possible the judge is giving us a silver-lined cloud? It seems to me like the judge is saying, "what the police and DA did is wrong, but I want this case to go to appeal."

If/when this case goes to the CA Court of Appeals, I believe we could get some excellent case law out of this. We already know that LE can't legally seize your ID as part of a 12031(e) check, but wouldn't it be nice to have case law specifically stating that? How about case law specifically stating that 626.9 does NOT apply on private property?

Either that, or the judge is really a tyrant, and is hoping the CA App court will take the opportunity to reverse existing case law...


(On an unrelated note, regarding loaded carry on public streets in unincorporated areas: This is how I imagine People v Knight would be overturned. The trial judge would simply ignore case law, and hope the higher courts want to reverse case law.)

Well, as prior panel decisions bind future panels, the only way your scenario would work is for Knight to be reversed by the Appeals Court en banc or the Ca. S. Ct.

There are like 3-5 cases where subsequent appeals court panels have followed and frankly extended Knight, by. i.e., explicitly shooting down the prosecutor argument that state law shooting bans over e.g., roads, create prohiobited areas - no, only local law can do that, as Goc, Schw. said in his veto message, the statute creates a local option.

I have been thinking this over - I'm not sure Isee suppression arising in this case becasue the info obtained is not being used to convict him, it just aided them in finding him again, which likley would have been done inevitably anyway; contrast this to what if the Defendant was a prohibited person and that offense was discovered by running PII (pers. identifiable info) taken from the ID - then he would have a case for suppression i think.
