Fire at will:

After failure to pass a similar bill last year, Gov. Noisome recently signed into law SB2, which makes a concealed carry license more difficult and expensive to get, and basically worthless once you get it.

But there is an upside for some: new opportunity zones for BLM, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda. And any crazed loner on psych drugs.

According to the new law which, inter alia, adds new Penal Code section 26230, concealed carry is banned in the following areas (even if you have a license to carry):

(1) A place prohibited by Section 626.9.
(2) A building, real property, or parking area under the control of a preschool or childcare facility, including a room or portion of a building under the control of a preschool or childcare facility. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the operator of a childcare facility in a family home from owning or possessing a firearm in the home if no child under child care at the home is present in the home or the firearm in the home is unloaded, stored in a locked container, and stored separately from ammunition when a child under child care at the home is present in the home so long as the childcare provider notifies clients that there is a firearm in the home.
(3) A building, parking area, or portion of a building under the control of an officer of the executive or legislative branch of the state government, except as allowed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 171c.
(4) A building designated for a court proceeding, including matters before a superior court, district court of appeal, or the California Supreme Court, parking area under the control of the owner or operator of that building, or a building or portion of a building under the control of the Supreme Court, unless the person is a justice, judge, or commissioner of that court.
(5) A building, parking area, or portion of a building under the control of a unit of local government, unless the firearm is being carried for purposes of training pursuant to Section 26165.
(6) A building, real property, and parking area under the control of an adult or juvenile detention or correctional institution, prison, or jail.
(7) A building, real property, and parking area under the control of a public or private hospital or hospital affiliate, mental health facility, nursing home, medical office, urgent care facility, or other place at which medical services are customarily provided.
(8) A bus, train, or other form of transportation paid for in whole or in part with public funds, and a building, real property, or parking area under the control of a transportation authority supported in whole or in part with public funds.
(9) A building, real property, and parking area under the control of a vendor or an establishment where intoxicating liquor is sold for consumption on the premises.
(10) A public gathering or special event conducted on property open to the public that requires the issuance of a permit from a federal, state, or local government and sidewalk or street immediately adjacent to the public gathering or special event but is not more than 1,000 feet from the event or gathering, provided this prohibition shall not apply to a licensee who must walk through a public gathering in order to access their residence, place of business, or vehicle.
(11) A playground or public or private youth center, as defined in Section 626.95, and a street or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the playground or youth center.
(12) A park, athletic area, or athletic facility that is open to the public and a street or sidewalk immediately adjacent to those areas, provided this prohibition shall not apply to a licensee who must walk through such a place in order to access their residence, place of business, or vehicle.

Signs shall be of a uniform design as prescribed by the Department of Justice and shall be at least four inches by six inches in size.
(27) Any other place or area prohibited by other provisions of state law.

Some would say Noisome has done a terrible thing here, leaving all of these places defenseless and open to attack by terror cells, lone wolves, and crazies.

Note a recent study by Dr Lott showing that the FBI massively understates the number of cases where armed citizens stop active shooters.

And note that on the heels of its recent genocide in Israel, Hamas is now calling for worldwide jihad tomorrow (Friday, October 13, 2023).

But if you really think about it, what Noisome has done here is brilliant. With all of these new opportunity zones, terror cells now have a paralyzing number of options to consider and debate, and celebrate. Even lone wolves will be thwarted by analysis paralysis. Like the first day they stepped into an American grocery store (which by the way, is now an opportunity zone for such terror).

Do you see the method to Noisome’s madness?

Me neither, but we can relax for now. Though it is law, it is not effective immediately, there are amendments pending, and there is a good chance of obtaining injunctions against it under Bruen.
