Court strikes California's 10-day wait for gun owners

Federal judge strikes down California gun purchase waiting period in some cases

Quote:

A federal judge in California has struck down a law that requires a 10-day waiting period for gun purchases, but only for current gun owners who have already passed a background check and those who have a permit or certificate of eligibility to own a gun. Eastern District of California Judge Anthony W. Ishii said Monday that the waiting period provision violates the Second Amendment rights of those who have already been approved to own a gun. This includes those who have previously undergone a background check and own a gun, people with concealed-carry permits and people who have a state certificate of eligibility to own a gun. First-time gun buyers would still be subject to the waiting period, which Ishii emphasized in his ruling.
