A federal appeals court put on hold a judge’s ruling that declared the law, set to take effect in 2024, unconstitutional.
A federal appeals court in the United States has cleared the way for a law passed by the state of California that bans carrying guns in most public places.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday suspended a December 20 injunction issued by a judge who concluded the Democratic-led state’s law violated the right of citizens to keep and bear arms under the US Constitution’s Second Amendment.
The law is set to take effect at the start of 2024.
The three-judge panel issued an administrative stay that put the injunction on hold until a different 9th Circuit panel can consider whether to issue an even longer pause while the litigation plays out.
The measure, which was set to take effect on January 1 after being signed into law in September by California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, was enacted after a landmark ruling in June 2022 by the conservative-majority US Supreme Court that expanded gun rights nationwide.
