A federal appeals court has upheld California's laws banning gun sales at county fairs and other public properties in a unanimous decision. The Ninth Circuit ruled that these laws do not violate the First or Second Amendments, allowing attendees of gun shows to peruse offers but requiring transactions to occur off state property. This decision overturns a previous lower court ruling that found the ban unconstitutional. The ruling supports public safety measures and maintains that the rights of firearm sellers and buyers are not infringed as they can conduct transactions elsewhere. Dave Min, who sponsored the bill, hailed the decision as a victory for public safety.
