By a 2-1 vote, the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said California was wrong to require applicants to show “good cause” to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Under current state law, “good cause” must typically go beyond personal safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to bear arms includes the right to carry an operable firearm outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense,” Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain wrote in the opinion for the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sidney Thomas dissented, writing that the “good cause” requirement limited the number of people carrying concealed handguns in public to those legitimately in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It limits the risk to public safety by reducing the number of guns in public circulation, but allows those who will most likely need to defend themselves in public to carry a handgun,” Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/134705385&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority disagreed with other federal appeals courts that have upheld similar laws in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. The decision did agree with an appellate court in Illinois, however, which struck down that state’s absolute ban on concealed weapons in public. The split among courts increases the chance that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awarding concealed weapon permits is the responsibility of each of California’s 58 counties, which have to follow state rules for that process. The San Francisco-based appeals court said those requirements were too strict and ran afoul of a 5-4 landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that struck down a Washington, D.C., handgun ban and said law-abiding citizens are allowed to have handguns in their home for self-defense. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> The majority disagreed with other federal appeals courts that have upheld similar laws in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The appeals court on Thursday reinstated a lawsuit filed in 2009 by Edward Peruta, who challenged San Diego County’s denial of a concealed weapons permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Charla Bear spoke with both Larry Rosenthal, a professor of law at Chapman University, and with Chuck Michel, who represents the National Rifle Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling, said Rosenthal, would allow concealed weapons permits to be “issued the same way driver’s licenses are issued.” That, though, won’t happen tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michel noted that inevitably the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually decide the issue of concealed weapons; it’s just a question of if they’ll hear this particular case on the topic. In the meantime, the decision is likely to be appealed and, even if upheld, won’t affect day-to-day permitting until it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What effect that will have is a topic of much debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenthal argued that this ruling would make it “extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the police to act preventively when they see people carrying guns in public or in criminal hotspots.” That can make it particularly challenging for law enforcement officers in urban settings, he said, because they will not as easily be able to distinguish between criminals and those carrying concealed weapons legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Michel, said that absolutely isn’t true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem isn’t the people who are getting concealed weapons permits legally, he said, but those criminals who wouldn’t be going through the state process anyway. In 42 states that already allow concealed weapons permits without restrictions, “it just hasn’t turned out to be a problem,” he said. In each of these places there have been fears about increases in gun violence or crime. “Those have just turned out to be hysterical predictions that didn’t come true,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the ruling below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Ninth Circuit Court Decision on Concealed Weapons on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/207036730/Ninth-Circuit-Court-Decision-on-Concealed-Weapons\">Ninth Circuit Court Decision on Concealed Weapons\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_76884\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/207036730/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

By a 2-1 vote, the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said California was wrong to require applicants to show “good cause” to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Under current state law, “good cause” must typically go beyond personal safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to bear arms includes the right to carry an operable firearm outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense,” Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain wrote in the opinion for the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sidney Thomas dissented, writing that the “good cause” requirement limited the number of people carrying concealed handguns in public to those legitimately in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It limits the risk to public safety by reducing the number of guns in public circulation, but allows those who will most likely need to defend themselves in public to carry a handgun,” Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/134705385&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The decision did agree with an appellate court in Illinois, however, which struck down that state’s absolute ban on concealed weapons in public. The split among courts increases the chance that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awarding concealed weapon permits is the responsibility of each of California’s 58 counties, which have to follow state rules for that process. The San Francisco-based appeals court said those requirements were too strict and ran afoul of a 5-4 landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that struck down a Washington, D.C., handgun ban and said law-abiding citizens are allowed to have handguns in their home for self-defense. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> The majority disagreed with other federal appeals courts that have upheld similar laws in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The appeals court on Thursday reinstated a lawsuit filed in 2009 by Edward Peruta, who challenged San Diego County’s denial of a concealed weapons permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Charla Bear spoke with both Larry Rosenthal, a professor of law at Chapman University, and with Chuck Michel, who represents the National Rifle Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling, said Rosenthal, would allow concealed weapons permits to be “issued the same way driver’s licenses are issued.” That, though, won’t happen tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michel noted that inevitably the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually decide the issue of concealed weapons; it’s just a question of if they’ll hear this particular case on the topic. In the meantime, the decision is likely to be appealed and, even if upheld, won’t affect day-to-day permitting until it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What effect that will have is a topic of much debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenthal argued that this ruling would make it “extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the police to act preventively when they see people carrying guns in public or in criminal hotspots.” That can make it particularly challenging for law enforcement officers in urban settings, he said, because they will not as easily be able to distinguish between criminals and those carrying concealed weapons legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Michel, said that absolutely isn’t true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem isn’t the people who are getting concealed weapons permits legally, he said, but those criminals who wouldn’t be going through the state process anyway. In 42 states that already allow concealed weapons permits without restrictions, “it just hasn’t turned out to be a problem,” he said. In each of these places there have been fears about increases in gun violence or crime. “Those have just turned out to be hysterical predictions that didn’t come true,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the ruling below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Ninth Circuit Court Decision on Concealed Weapons on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/207036730/Ninth-Circuit-Court-Decision-on-Concealed-Weapons\">Ninth Circuit Court Decision on Concealed Weapons\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_76884\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/207036730/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Jerry Hill, a Peninsula Democrat, is unveiling a bill Monday to reopen a road to Martins Beach, for decades a popular surfing spot and hangout a few miles south of Half Moon Bay. Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla bought the beach property, including the road, in 2008 and closed it to the public. Khosla reportedly intends to build a residence on the land, which is now occupied by about 45 beach cottages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/audio/silicon-valley-billionaire-battles-surfers-over-beach-access/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED Science reporter Amy Standen related in a feature story\u003c/a> last month, Khosla has run into determined opposition from surfers, environmentalists and coastal access advocates. They argue that shutting down a long-established public route to the beach violates the state Constitution's public trust doctrine, which bars property owners from blocking access to public bodies of water. A San Mateo County judge has rejected that argument, saying that the terms of a Mexican-era land grant allow Khosla to restrict access to the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill's legislation would order the State Lands Commission to open negotiations with Khosla to buy all or part of the property for a public access road. The bill would require the commission to acquire the property through eminent domain if no deal is reached within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Peter Jon Shuler is covering Hill's press conference at the Martins Beach gate.

Jerry Hill, a Peninsula Democrat, is unveiling a bill Monday to reopen a road to Martins Beach, for decades a popular surfing spot and hangout a few miles south of Half Moon Bay. Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla bought the beach property, including the road, in 2008 and closed it to the public. Khosla reportedly intends to build a residence on the land, which is now occupied by about 45 beach cottages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/audio/silicon-valley-billionaire-battles-surfers-over-beach-access/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED Science reporter Amy Standen related in a feature story\u003c/a> last month, Khosla has run into determined opposition from surfers, environmentalists and coastal access advocates. They argue that shutting down a long-established public route to the beach violates the state Constitution's public trust doctrine, which bars property owners from blocking access to public bodies of water. A San Mateo County judge has rejected that argument, saying that the terms of a Mexican-era land grant allow Khosla to restrict access to the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill's legislation would order the State Lands Commission to open negotiations with Khosla to buy all or part of the property for a public access road. The bill would require the commission to acquire the property through eminent domain if no deal is reached within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Peter Jon Shuler is covering Hill's press conference at the Martins Beach gate. We'll have more from him on this story later Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Backers say it’ll help the crime-ridden city deal with murder and even prevent it. Activists fear it’ll become a tool for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-real-purpose-of-oaklands-surveillance-center/Content?oid=3789230\">spying\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these two sides disagree, starkly, they both assume one thing: that the surveillance center will actually work. But is that true?

It’s an anti-terrorism grant to protect the harbor. So City Councilman Dan Kalb didn’t get what all the controversy was about, if the center was just going to pull camera feeds from the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing, he asked the rhetorical question: “This is all on port property, including airport, all of port property, right?

But no cameras would go into people’s living rooms. So Kalb gave the nod. “All right, sounds good to me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That exchange happened at a council meeting a few months back. The center has been five years in the making. It’s supposed to go live this summer. But it doesn’t sound so good to experts in Silicon Valley who specialize in surveillance.

Analysts sitting in front of giant monitors will scan data round the clock, cross-reference GPS coordinates and email real-time reports to first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/133435454&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds very familiar, like the sci-fi hit “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_%28film%29\">Minority Report\u003c/a>” with Tom Cruise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollywood aside, back in Oakland, the city’s chief technology officer Ahsan Baig sums up the vision: “From child abduction to robbery to overturned truck, this whole process is going to automate this whole thing. So everything is going to be available right in front of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rifai says big data doesn’t work that way. It takes some focus. And given the lack of focus in Oakland, several experts say there’s a good chance the city will spend a lot more than $1.25 million (the amount from Homeland Security).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From our experience with organizations collecting everything and then trying to figure out what to do with it,” Firai says, “it is going to be a costly project beyond what the federal money they’ve secured provides them today. So that’s our prediction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Basic contradictions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost isn’t the only issue. There’s a lot of confusion in the core team — even with simple things like hours of operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port of Oakland is not staffed 24 hours a day. As Chief Michael O’Brien explains, if an alarm goes off, say at 4 a.m., no one’s there to check if it’s an organized crime gang or a stray cat. With a central hub, police and firefighters can be the port’s eyes. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>O’Brien says, “The plan is to have a 24/7 operation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city’s chief of emergency services, Renee Domingo, assumes the opposite. “We envision that there’s a dark period when there’s nothing going on and rather than having 24 hours, we’re trying to be as efficient as possible in terms of the staffing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That dark period would be around 4 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In-house expertise\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domingo says the surveillance center is one of the most ambitious projects Oakland has undertaken to reduce crime. Everyone wants a safer city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she’s still not sure if the top dog on this project will be a high-ranking public official or a private contractor. Domingo says employees from the city will make up most of the staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They could be record-keepers, they could be emergency planning coordinators, maybe retired dispatch people — people that have worked in dispatch centers,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael McNerney, a former cyber-advisor at the Department of Defense, thinks that is practically infeasible. “Knowing what you’re looking at is a specialized skill set. So these things tend to work best when you have specialized professionals who do this for a living.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNerney, now based in Palo Alto, is a fan of surveillance centers. He’s helped build and maintain military ones. But without that high-tech skills set on hand, he says, tried and true public safety tools like street patrol or education might be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s chief technology officer, Baig, says so far the plan is on target and the next phase will fall into place as soon as the city can decide on a private contractor.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But is that true?
