pending resolution of Peruta v. County of San Diego, No. 10-56971. We now
resubmit the case and affirm the district court’s judgment.
In Peruta, 824 F.3d 919 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc), we held that a member of
the general public does not have a right under the Second Amendment to carry a
concealed firearm in public, and that a state may impose any restriction, including
a showing of good cause, on concealed carry. Id. at 939. The San Diego and Yolo
County Sheriff’s Department policies interpreting the California statutory good
cause requirement therefore survived a Second Amendment challenge. Id. For the
same reasons, the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department’s policy regarding
good cause to issue a concealed carry license does not violate the Second
Amendment, and we affirm the district court’s order denying a preliminary
injunction to prohibit enforcement of the policy.
AFFIRMED.
