The lawyer representing the "interests" of Yolo County lied outright w/regard to open carry laws in California. Some members of the Calguns discussion forum are suggesting that this could be an offense worthy of getting him disbarred. Elsewhere, he stretched the facts pretty thin as well.

The attorney representing the "interests" of San Diego county just came across as absolutely pathetic......particularly in yielding nearly all of his time to the Yolo attorney.

I found that some of the questions asked by the judges were quite sharp, while others were about as sharp as a marble. I loved it when one of the judges asked the S.D. attorney why they should even take him seriously, given the fact that S.D. expressed no interest in the case until the original panel ruled against them. Which of course invites the question of why on earth they allowed Kamala Harris to call for en banc when she had shown no prior interest in the case! I take that as a bad sign.

I'm actually not optimistic here. Partisan politics will come into play here, I believe, protests against such a notion from the judiciary notwithstanding.
