Court: No right to carry concealed weapons in public [View all]
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court says people do not have a right to carry concealed weapons in public under the 2nd Amendment.
An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling Thursday.
The panel says law enforcement officials can require applicants for a concealed weapons permit to show they are in immediate danger or otherwise have a good reason for a permit beyond self-defense.
The decision overturned a 2014 ruling by a smaller 9th Circuit panel.
