Hey gun nutz, and I mean that in the sense that anyone that's interested in gun politics has to be a gun nut — it looks like that ruling out of California that allowed for concealed carry is getting another day in court:
California's attorney general on Thursday waded into a court fight over the state's strict gun laws, asking an appeals court to reverse itself and restore the leeway local governments had to decide who can carry a concealed firearm.
A three-member panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, acting on a lawsuit by gun owners, earlier this month struck down as unconstitutional a requirement by San Diego County that residents show "good cause" to carry a concealed firearm.

After the 9th Circuit panel's 2-1 decision, San Diego County Sheriff (where the case resided) said he would not appeal, but Kamala Harris is picking up the slack and asking the full court to review and overturn the case:
"I will do everything possible to restore law enforcement's authority to protect public safety and so today am calling on the court to review and reverse its decision," Harris said.
The dissenting Justice wrote in the opinion that the majority went beyond the scope of the case before it and this is what Harris is basing her decision on:
He said the 9th Circuit panel's majority went beyond the legal questions posed in the lawsuit to render a ruling that "not only strikes down San Diego County's concealed carry policy, but upends the entire California firearm regulatory scheme."
