Ninth Circuit: The Second Amendment guarantees the right to carry a gun in public - Video

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the Second Amendment endows the right to carry a gun outside the home. The opinion comes days before the Supreme Court is expected to decidewhether to review two other cases that ask the question of whether the right to bear arms extends beyond the home.

The California-based appeals court, in a 2-1 ruling authored by Judge Diarmuid OScannlain, delved into American history, from the Founding Era forward, and found support for the notion that bearing arms means carrying a gun in public:

So concludes our analysis of text and history: the carrying of an operablehandgun outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense, though subject totraditional restrictions, constitutes bear[ing] Arms within the meaning of the Second Amendment.

The case comes from San Diego County, which, according to state law, requires residents to show good cause for carrying a concealed handgun. Personal safety alone does not qualify as good cause. The question for the court was whether the requirement infringes on the Second Amendments right to bear arms.

From the Ninth Circuit:

The question is notwhether the California scheme (in light of San Diego Countys policy) allows somepeople to bear arms outside the home in some places at some times; instead, thequestion is whether it allows the typical responsible, law-abiding citizen to beararms in public for the lawful purpose of self-defense. The answer to the latterquestion is a resounding no.

To be clear, we are not holding that the Second Amendment requires thestates to permit concealed carry. But the Second Amendment does require that thestates permit some form of carry for self-defense outside the home.

The courts ruling aligns with one by the Chicago-based Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but conflicts with the Second, Third and Fourth Circuits.

Last year, the Ohio National Guard conducted a training drill in which a fictitious school custodian, angry about gun control, unleashed chemical weapons. (Ohio National Guard)

The Ohio National Guard has seen the enemy and it is a school janitor who supports the Second Amendment?

The Guards 52nd Civil Support Team held a training drill last year in southern Ohio which pitted members against a sinister janitor and a chemistry teacher sidekick who concocted chemical weapons in two makeshift labs, unleashing them on middle school students before killing himself. Inside the lair of the creepy custodian, identified as Mr. Wart, agents found several statements about protecting Gun Rights and Second Amendment rights on a chalkboard as well as on tables, according to the training packet.

Fortunately, none of it actually happened. Critics say it is telling that a government groups chosen bogeyman would be Second Amendment supporters.

They were characterizing gun owners and Second Amendment supporters as white extremists," Chad Baus, of the Buckeye Firearms Association, told FoxNews.com. "It was a month after Sandy Hook. There was a large debate where gun owners were being blamed. I think the timing of it was extremely important here.

According to the drill, Mr. Wart and the unnamed chemistry teacher were producing ricin and sulfur mustard. Another clue to their motivation was a printed CNN article found among instructions for making the deadly toxins. In the article, a real story from March 2011, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre accused the Obama administration of trying to weaken the Constitutions Second Amendment.

Other evidence found near Mr. Wart included the name and contact information of William Pierce, an infamous (and now dead) neo-Nazi.
