Attorney General Bonta: Open Carry Fosters Fear, Not Safety
OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued a statement after filing a petition for rehearing en banc in Baird v. Bonta, a case currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. A recent ruling from a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit concluded that California’s ban on the open carry of firearms in counties with populations of 200,000 or more people is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. “This is beyond concerning; it is deeply wrong,” said Attorney General Bonta.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
