California: NRA and CRPA Petition United States Supreme Court to Hear Peruta v. County of San Diego

Today, January 12, NRA and CRPA attorneys submitted a petition to the United States Supreme Court to review the NRA and CRPA supported case of Peruta v. San Diego.  The case made history in 2014 when a 3-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit held that the San Diego County Sheriff’s restrictive “good cause” policy for the issuance of a concealed carry license violates the Second Amendment.  But shortly after that decision, the Ninth Circuit took the rare step of deciding to rehear the case by an 11-judge “en banc” panel who overturned the 3-judge panel opinion last June.  The Petition explains it all.  Give it a read

The NRA and CRPA attorneys are working hard in California on a number of legal cases.  For a list of these cases click here.  In addition, several new NRA/CRPA lawsuits will soon be launched against Proposition 63 and the seven new “Gunmageddon” anti-gun bills signed into law this past year. 

You can learn more about the Peruta case by watching this video, and by reading this article from NRA’s America’s 1st Freedom. 

It takes great amount resources to fight for our rights in the courts.   So please make a  tax-deductible donation to the CRPA Foundation to help finance the Peruta case and other soon to be filed lawsuits.  

Please stand with the NRA and CRPA as we work to preserve our right to keep and bear arms for generations to come!  Continue to check your email and www.NRAILA.org for updates and don’t forget to forward these important alerts to your family, friends, and fellow gun owners and sportsmen.
