A US appeals court Saturday paved the way for a California law banning the concealed carry of firearms in “sensitive places” to go into effect January 1, despite a federal judge’s ruling that it is “repugnant to the Second Amendment.”

The law – Senate Bill 2 – had been blocked last week by an injunction from District Judge Cormac Carney, but a three-judge panel filed an order Saturday temporarily blocking that injunction, clearing the path for the law to take effect.

The court issued an administrative stay, meaning the appeals judges did not consider the merits of the case, but delayed the judge’s order to give the court more time to consider the arguments of both sides. “In granting an administrative stay, we do not intend to constrain the merits panel’s consideration of the merits of these appeals in any way,” the judges wrote.

    Yeah yeah, I hear you, but there’s a difference between rational fear and irrational fear. You know full well I was talking about folks who live in safe neighborhoods. Even then, you should be practiced enough that you’re not walking around paranoid and anxious all the time. It doesn’t do you any good to shoot at noises in the dark.

      There’s a difference between the reality he’s expressing and the made up hateful strawman you’re beating up in your head

        What? I’m honestly not sure what you think is in my head. I was referring to people who are scared to live life in what is actually a safe area?
