Good News On The Rhode En Banc Panel

March 16, 2026

It’s been a roll of the (loaded) dice for pro-2A cases facing en banc panels at the Ninth Circuit, but when the case of Rhode v. Bonta is argued on March 25th in Pasadena, it will be in front of a panel as favorable as we could hope.

In a special edition of CRPA TV released just this afternoon, CRPA President & General Counsel Chuck Michel analyzes the makeup of the panel, how that might impact the outcome, and the extraordinary step that might be considered if we prevail.

Next month marks eight years since the filing of our case challenging California’s draconian regulatory scheme, which creates a de facto ban on ammunition purchases. A favorable ruling would be welcome news for lawful gun owners, affirming the fundamental right to purchase ammunition.

Be sure to tune in to CRPA TV on March 25th as we bring you coverage of the en banc panel on location at the courthouse in Pasadena. Thank you for your continued support!
