Exploring 2A Pillars: The “Where”
Where would you feel comfortable enough that you would give up your fundamental right to self-defense? This becomes a very important question when the state starts to strip away your right to concealed carry.
In the second installment of our special CRPA TV series, Chuck Michel is back to dive into the momentous decision in Wolford v. Lopez, striking down significant portions of Hawaii’s “sensitive places” law. As a Ninth Circuit case, the decision in Wolford bears directly on CRPA’s challenge to California’s SB 2. That case, May v. Bonta, was recently formally reopened in light of Wolford.
As discussed in the first installment earlier this week, underlying each of these pillars of 2A rights is the proper application of the Bruen standard. In our upcoming amicus brief in the Viramontes case, CRPA and our allies will provide a clear historical legal basis for holding government restrictions on gun rights to the highest possible standard.
