If you want to get a permit to carry a concealed gun in California, you have to show "good cause." In most cases, that's decided by the county sheriff. In San Diego County, the sheriff denied Edward Peruta a permit in 2009 to carry a concealed weapon, in part because he didn't show "good cause." Peruta sued the sheriff. The case went all the way to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last year, which struck down the "good cause" requirement. That case is going to be heard again Tuesday.
