Alameda County<\/i>. That case challenged the ban on gun shows by Alameda County at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The decision can be read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ca9.uscourts.gov\/datastore\/opinions\/2012\/06\/01\/07-15763.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The response from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calgunsfoundation.org\/news-blog\/press\/215-alameda-county-runs-away-from-nordyke-case-concedes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalGuns Foundation<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>San Carlos, CA (June 4, 2012) \u2013 In an astonishing eleventh-hour about-face, the County of Alameda\u2019s \u201csweeping concessions\u201d in open court to allow gun shows at the Alameda County Fairgrounds was accepted by the Ninth Circuit in its opinion for Nordyke v. King, released on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>As was noted in a concurring opinion by Circuit Judge Diarmuid O\u2019Scannlain, the County\u2019s representation at oral arguments that Plaintiffs could, in fact, now hold gun shows at the Fairgrounds, \u201cchange the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it\u2019s certainly fantastic that the Nordykes are once again able to have gun shows on Alameda County property, it\u2019s clear to us that the County was willing to stop at nothing to dodge the Second Amendment bullet,\u201d explained Calguns Foundation chairman Gene Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Calguns Foundation is eager to see gun shows \u2013 long standing in our history and protected under the Constitution &#8211; at suitable public venues across the state of California. We stand ready to ensure that the rights of gun owners to gather and trade in self-defense arms are respected in every locale. California state law already severely regulates gun shows and these additional local requirements are solely an attempt to go beyond regulation into prohibition.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And from <a href=\"http:\/\/calffl.org\/news\/news\/98-gun-show-promoters-triumph-in-historic-battle-over-alameda-county-fairgrounds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal-FFL<\/a> which is a newer organization representing California firearms dealers, range owners, collectors, and training professionals:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Madera, CA (June 4, 2012) \u2013 In a decision holding that \u201cthe County now concedes that [gun shows] can be held with firearms present and available for meaningful physical inspection by potential buyers,\u201d the Ninth Circuit has settled a thirteen-year lawsuit between the County of Alameda and plaintiffs Russell and Sallie Nordyke, owners of TS Trade Shows, who operated gun shows at the Fairgrounds until the County enacted the gun show ban ordinance in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGun shows are important opportunities for firearms dealers, manufacturers, and buyers to connect with each other under one roof,\u201d said Cal-FFL president Brandon Combs.  \u201cThese events offer people the chance to browse thousands of products in the fast-growing self defense marketplace at one time, rather than being limited to the inventory of one or two area stores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While avoiding the question of how the Second Amendment might apply to gun shows, the court said in its opinion that \u201c[s]hould the County add new requirements or enforce the ordinance unequally\u2026. Plaintiffs or others similarly situated may, of course, bring a new Second Amendment challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia gun dealers and manufacturers rely on gun shows to educate thousands of people over the course of a weekend,\u201d Combs explains.  \u201cCal-FFL looks forward to helping the Nordykes, other promoters, and our federal firearms licensee members succeed in holding gun shows at county fairgrounds and similar public places throughout the state.\u201d<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two California gun rights organizations, the CalGuns Foundation and Cal-FFL, released statements on the 9th Circuits decision (finally after&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[826,515,3433],"class_list":["post-3252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cal-ffl","tag-calguns-foundation","tag-nordyke"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3252"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8036,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3252\/revisions\/8036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
