This is a really BIG deal. People need to realize what is in this complaint:
"WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs requests that this Court:
B. Issue a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief that California
Penal Code § 12031(e) is unconstitutional."

Pretty awesome stuff!

Hope everyone that can throws some $$ over to CGF and SAF.

The only down side of this is: It will prolly have to go to SCOTUS to be finally settled.

This IS awesome. It's in the Northern District of CA though, and as CGF is aware, is a tough district to win second amendment cases. But as we know, CGF doesn't stop at district level decisions. I wish them luck, the 12031(e) challenge should be a piece of cake.

The stars are lining up again...

SAF rocks, too!

A year ago, we talked about how funny it would be if UOC was banned and then 12031e was found unconstitutional. Well it seems those stars are finally lining up nicely! In the not too distant future we'll be telling folks to make darn sure the DON'T UOC!

this is a great lawsuit. however, its very disappointing to know it will take YEARS, if ever, to be settled.

Regardless of the time it takes, fighting the fight is a good and necessary step. My hat is off to SAF and CGF for finally bringing it. Eliminating the completely useless and irritating bullet button is in line with "not one inch". And ending the wholly unconstitutional 12031e violations is necessary to protecting liberties fought and died for. This suit makes me really happy! :cool:

Hey Coolusername,

If officer Becker loses his qualified immunity and pays substantial punitive damages, we will witness a completely different LEO attitude towards people who are exercising their 2A rights. A judgement against Becker will be a shot heard 'round California.

Trust me!
