It’s an interesting opinion. The supposed focus of the case is San Diego’s effective ban on concealed carry. There’s all kinds of legal authority to cite in favor of laws banning concealed carry, as emphasized by the dissent and conceded by the majority.

So the majority gets around this inconvenient fact by noting that CA has a statewide and total ban on open carry, rules that the combination of an open carry ban + a concealed carry ban is clearly unconstitutional, therefore the San Diego concealed carry ban is struck down.

I thought one had to be on the Supreme Court before one could engage in leaps of logic like that as a judge.
