A free state!\u00a0 (<em>Photo: Robertson&#8217;s Trading Post<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>California has so many stupid gun laws on the books that it\u2019s hard to keep track. Good news this week, though, there is one less [sic] dumb law to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California is now blocking the enforcement of a ban on the display of handguns and handgun signs on the outside of retail locations, i.e. FFLs.<\/p>\n<p>Section 26820 of the California Penal Code reads, \u201cNo handgun or imitation handgun, or placard advertising the sale or other transfer thereof, shall be displayed in any part of the premises where it can readily be seen from the outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gun shops could advertise the sale of long guns, including modern sporting rifles, under the statute but when it comes to publicly showcasing handguns the Nannystaters of Commiefornia said, \u201cNo, no, no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a law prohibiting a church from publicly displaying scripture or one banning a car dealer from advertising the sale of trucks. Insane!<\/p>\n<p>The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), in conjunction with the Calguns Foundation and the California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees, on behalf of Tracy Rifle and Pistol (TRAP), Ten Percent Firearms, Sacramento Black Rifle, Inc., and PRK Arms sued former state Attorney General (current U.S. Sen.) Kamala Harris and the chief of the state Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms in 2014 asking for an injunction on the grounds that the code violates the First Amendment rights of gun dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Though it took several years, justice (and common sense) prevailed Tuesday. The court found that the state\u2019s claim that the statute works to reduce gun-related violence was bogus, noting that the state failed to show that the ban had any \u201ceffect on handgun suicide or crime.\u201d Further, the court ruled that California \u201chas restricted disfavored speech without acknowledging the efficacy of policy choices that do not burden speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the court said, \u201cCalifornia may not accomplish its goals by violating the First Amendment\u201d and declared the challenged section \u201cunconstitutional on its face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA state cannot legislate political correctness at the expense of a fundamental, constitutionally-delineated civil right,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb in a press release. \u201cWe were delighted to offer financial support to this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the Court correctly ruled that the First Amendment protects truthful, non-misleading speech about handguns protected under the Second Amendment,\u201d said\u00a0CGF Executive Director Brandon Combs. \u201cPeople have a fundamental, individual right to buy handguns and licensed dealers have a right to tell people where they can lawfully acquire those handguns. Today\u2019s ruling means that the government cannot prevent people, or gun dealers, from talking about constitutionally protected instruments and conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on if the state plans to appeal the ruling.
