Governor Bevin Joins 25 Other States in Challenging California 2nd Amendment Case

Governor Matt Bevin has joined with 25 other states in filing an amicus brief in Peruta v. San Diego County, a Second Amendment case challenging the constitutionality of a California law restricting citizens’ rights to carry handguns outside their homes for self-defense. The case questions the legality of California’s restrictive concealed carry permit policy, which requires citizens to satisfy several conditions before obtaining a concealed carry license. Bevin said states and individuals must stand united against arbitrary government overreach.
