Help Charles Nichols Fight for 2A

Help Charles Nichols and his Lawsuit to Overturn California’s Bans on Openly Carrying Loaded and Unloaded Firearms in Public

Two years ago, on September 12, 2022, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district court's final judgment in favor of the State of California and remanded my case back to the district court for proceedings consistent with NYSRPA v. Bruen. The district court adopted the State's position that it did not have to comply with the Court of Appeals' order. The district court has delayed a final judgment in my lawsuit multiple times. The local rules of the Central District of California require the district court to decide the State's motion for summary judgment within 120 days. If the district court complies with the rules, a decision will be made by February 3, 2025. Hopefully, we will have a favorable judgment by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in the Baird v. Bonta final judgment appeal before then. The judgment in the Baird v. Bonta handgun Open Carry lawsuit will be immediately binding on the district court in my case.

My lawsuit is not limited to handguns. My lawsuit seeks to enjoin California's bans on openly carrying loaded and unloaded rifles, shotguns, and handguns throughout the State of California.
