The ruling was issued Friday by two judges on a three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The judges found that the state's policy of limiting open carry to counties with a population of less than 200,000 is inconsistent with the Second Amendment.
The dissenting judge disagreed and said California could limit open carry in more populated areas because it allows for concealed carry throughout the state.
It came after Mark Baird, a Siskiyou County resident, filed a lawsuit asking the courts to restore the historical practice of open carry being allowed.
"It's a very significant opinion," Michel said, adding that a key question in the case is how a 2022 Supreme Court decision expanding gun rights should be applied.
"California just got military troops with weapons of war off of the streets of our cities, but now Republican activists on the Ninth Circuit want to replace them with gunslingers and return to the days of the Wild West," the statement said.
"We are committed to defending California's commonsense gun laws," Bonta's office said. "We are reviewing the opinion and considering all options."
"It will remove a stigma which many on the left and many quite sadly in law enforcement want, which is if you're a person carrying a gun and not wearing a badge you are a 'bad guy,' and so I think this addresses that," DeLuz said.
"I was truly alarmed by the decision," Blakespear said. "I mean, this is not the 'Wild West' where everybody walks around with a gun on their waist. I mean, we see in other countries when there is a mass shooting, they tighten down on their gun laws."
