From an L A Times story (
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-concealed-carry-20160609-snap-story.html):
In a news conference Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Ed Prieto [whose case was litigated simultaneously with Peruta] said he felt “vindicated” after the ruling.
“In Yolo County, I think this is an effective policy and it seems to have been working effectively for years,” he said. He later questioned why people would want to carry a weapon.
“How many times have you been attacked? How many friends do you have who have been attacked? I’m not talking about the exception,” he said. “I have five daughters and I can say I would not honestly give a weapon to any one of my daughters.”

In other words, if you are the "exception" and HAVE been attacked, shut up, because I don't want to talk about you. What he failed to say but also meant was "Even if you have been attacked, a firearm would not have helped, because everyone is as stupid, ignorant, and as untrained as my daughters and the criminal would just have taken the gun away from you and used it against you. Just call 911 and get a big dog."* * * * *
From California State Attorney Kamala Harris (likely soon to be U.S. Senator)(

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today issued the following statement on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling in Peruta v. County of San Diego:
"The devastating impact gun violence has on our communities underscores the need for common sense gun safety laws. The court's decision is a victory for public safety and sensible gun safety laws. The ruling ensures that local law enforcement leaders have the tools they need to protect public safety by determining who can carry loaded, concealed weapons in our communities."

I had to fix that one for her too!"The devastating impact gun violence has on our communities underscores the need for common sense gun safety laws. The court's decision is a victory for public safety and sensible gun safety laws. The ruling ensures that local law enforcement leaders have the tools they need to protect public safety by determining who
LEGALLY can carry loaded, concealed weapons in our communities."
Everyone knows that not one single criminal has ever sought (nor will ever seek) permission from any law enforcement person or agency whether or not they may "carry loaded, concealed weapons in [their] communities". Who are the morons who believe even a single word of the crap spewed by the likes of Harris and Prieto? Oh, that's right, the majority of the people and voters in Hawaii and California...
