A current case pending review by the Supreme Court is Peruta v. City of San Diego. In this case, the plaintiff(s) sought to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense, but the City of San Diego denied their applications for a permit, claiming they did not show “good cause” to carry. In response, the plaintiff(s) claimed the city’s definition of “good cause” violates their Second Amendment right.
The Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of the city and stated “We hold that the Second Amendment does not preserve or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public.” |

The site has a log in/join link, but the "join" option is nowhere to be found.
Two things: There is only one comma in the ratified version (read, ORIGINAL) of the Second Amendment, not three. And, neither the Constitution nor federal law "grants" rights; they are endowed by our Creator, per our founding document. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
