Last June, the court also turned away a constitutional challenge to ordinances in San Diego and Los Angeles which strictly limit concealed carry permits. While gun owners may obtain a permit from a county sheriff if they can show "good cause," many California counties set a very high bar for who qualifies under this standard. In upholding the restrictions, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said "the 2nd Amendment does not preserve or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public." Only Thomas and new Justice Neil M. Gorsuch dissented then.
