Whether the SCOTUS hears it or not will not effect gun rights. The appeal was on the denial of attorney's fees.... a win at SCOTUS would only insure the good guys get paid for over a decade of hard work. The title is correct: RIP because people could care less if an attorney gets paid... even if he is a really cool guy, and especially if tax money is going to pay him...

Thanks to all those who endured this travesty of the legal system for our 2A rights. This is disgraceful.

Any way to find out how much the county spent on this fiasco, only to say at the last minute that "we never said they couldn't be tethered..."

Could be useful in the next election cycle?

Regardless of the final outcome the case, it is historic nonetheless. The case has survived all this time during which the entire body of modern 2A law was developed. It's remarkable in its own right. And let's not forget that it was Don who argued successfully and helped incorporated the 2A right through the due process clause of the 14 Amendment in Nordyke v. King, 563 F. 3d 439 - Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit 2009. This gave rise to many of the CGF cases which are still ongoing. The path forged was the same that was followed succesfully in McDonald.

I think it can be said that only two lawyers in American history can say that they have done that.

My hat is off to you Don.

Fabio,

It's been a little while since I've seen you post. Welcome back from the holidays.

Your quotes are readily distinguished.
Before:
"... the unqualified word, “event,” that preserves the possibility ... including Plaintiffs’ gun shows."

After:
"... the County affirmatively asserts that Plaintiffs, when conducting a gun show ..."

The difference would be clearer if you included this language in the latter:
"The County represents that a sturdy cable attaching the firearm to a fixture, such as a table, would suffice ..."
This is a gross departure from the county's prior stance. You wouldn't buy a beanie baby if you couldn't see it first because it was offsite in a DOJ approved opaque container, would you?

The plaintiffs got the relief they wanted. The county is now required to interpret their own ordinance in such a manner as to allow gun shows to be conducted with firearms available to be fondled by prospective customers. I would call that a "win."

The attorney fees are only at issue after the merits are decided. If you "win" a personal injury case but don't get attorney fees, is that suddenly a loss?

You are welcome to criticize, but many of us realize this wasn't a victory by default in a super gun-friendly jurisdiction. Lex Arma did a phenomenal job on a protracted nightmare of a case, battling Sauron in the depths of Mordor.

Not at all. Refer to the laundry list here.

Strangely, the plaintiffs never argued "gun shows ok with guns secured," they appealed that very determination in 2007, and fought that interpretation to the bitter end lol. If they really wanted gun shows with guns secured, this case could have been over 13 years ago with a simple declaratory relief action. This was a farce and collossal waste of judicial resources IMO.

Just because it is proposed in an oral argument or a brief does not make it so. Despite your laundry list, Alameda County's implementation of their ordinance did not allow the Nordyke's to reserve the fairgrounds unless they agreed that the gun show would take place with "no guns present." They argued on January 15, 2009, that the actual transfer of firearms could take place off county property, which of course violates the requirement that transfers take place on premises or at licensed gun shows. It is common practice to cable guns to the table at quite a few gun shows that I have attended, but that was not acceptable to Alameda until after the oral argument.

For instance, if an attorney representing an official of the State of California indicates in oral argument that part of the "very meaningful" ability to exercise 2nd amendment rights includes the right to carry on private property that I own or have permission of the owner, does that suddenly mean I can carry in publicly accessible private property like my front yard, or in HOA common areas where I am a part owner, or a parking lot with permission?

Your position necessarily eliminates all "as applied" challenges, because the challenged ordinance/statute could be applied in a constitutional manner; however, we should disregard that it is applied unconstitutionally in practice until after the oral argument.

It is unrealistic to imposing some sort of requirement that Plaintiff should have somehow divined that cables would be acceptable in light of Alameda's position that nothing short of "off site" was acceptable in practice. Even if they had asked that exact particular question, the response in 2007 would have been something similar to "what part of 'NO' don't you understand?"

When you argue an interpretation in a motion for summary judgment, and the court grants the motion and adopts your interpretation, it kinda does lol.

You might want to quote what was actually said with a little more precision, and in context, i.e., answering a direct question posed by one of the panel judges who had bought into the plaintiffs' "no guns, no exception" interpretation. The county consistently argued during that hearing that the Nordykes could have guns shows with guns secured, which means, obviously, gun shows with guns present and secured if not in the immediate possession of participants.

Quote:

Which oral argument? It was the county that said, at the first en banc hearing, that cabling guns to the table would meet the secured guns exception. Perhaps you meant that guns cabled to the table were not acceptable to the Nordykes lol:

"The answer is no, we cannot conduct a gun show with guns tethered to the tables."

"We cannot run a gun show with guns cabled to a...to a table your honor."

If gun shows with guns cabled to tables was what the Nordykes wanted all along, that might have been an appropriate time to say so lol.

They never bothered to ask, did they? Nor did they take any initiative whatsoever to propose it. That was because it wasn't what they wanted, despite their now claiming that this was some big "win."

In 2010 the county attorney called the plaintiffs' attorney to talk about how the plaintiffs would like to secure guns at their gun shows but the plaintiffs' attorney hung up on him. This particular exchange in the briefs filed after last year's en banc hearing could not be any more embarassing.

Reality check: even when the original panel was sold on "no guns, no exception," this case was a loser. The Nordykes never wanted guns shows with guns cabled to the table, and nobody whose decision matters agreed that this was a "win."

Just like the County, you are cherry picking facts. The JOINT STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED FACTS for the summary judgment stipulated that County Counsel (Richard Winnie) was the only Alameda official authorized to interpret the ordinance. His interpretation in 1999 (after the amendment for secured guns), which has never been modified, was that no guns could be present at gun shows held at the fairgrounds.

That is a completely different set of facts from the Court holding a party to an interpretation of the law made by outside counsel in the Court of Appeals after the close of evidence.

This is simple, the Ninth Circuit hated this case. The County gave them an excuse to shut it down and they took it.

It's becoming even more clear how weighty a role the super lame "county counsel said this in 1999 and he is authorized to interpret the ordinance and its in the joint statement so the county is stuck with that interpretation forever" argument played in the decision to litigate this stinker for more than a decade. It's the fallback in every discussion on calguns and also when the case was circling the drain at the en banc hearing. The judges were like "so what?" lol. Which is the response that any judge in their right mind would have.

The clients had this if they wanted it in 2006. They had it again in 2012, after 6 more years of litigation and about a million dollars in fees and lost profits (and don't forget that nearly all that time they didn't have gun shows with guns lol). Not what I would call a good bang for your buck!

Regardless of the legal nuances, I respect the time you put into this.

Based on all of the posts, I am making a Summary Judgment to say it was a worth while effort (that my $2 lawyer word of the day, sponsored by Denny Crane).

Wished it would have went the other way for you! You deserve to be compensated for your time!

Alameda responded to spec rogs under penalty of perjury, and stipulated on 9/1/2006 in a Joint Statement of Undisputed Facts (fact #88) that county counsel was the proper person to interpret the ordinance. Can you point to an interpretation from county counsel in or about 2006 that contradicted the existing "no guns" interpretation? Appellate lawyer bloviations don't clear the bank when they are contradicted by the official position of the county. A lawyer's one liner hypothetical taken out of context isn't the same as reserving the fairgrounds and actually having a gun show.

Right now our side is going through a filtering process where we are seperating the "civil rights folks" from the "hobbyists and sportspersons".

Don took the case on principle, something that many people sadly are lacking.

Don, I know this is a huge letdown, but you did what few others would do because unlike others, you are a pitbull and you stick with your principles and your beliefs.

Don just got beaten down really bad, as a community our response should be supportive because if any of us got beaten down, we would want people to help us up.

Nicki
Right on nicki.

Thanks Don for all the hard work.!!!!!!!
We need fighters in this battle. Not sideline critics. This is a Civil Rights movement not a soccer game.

It sounds like you have nothing other than your self-serving laundry list. If you had a counterargument, you would have brought it forward. When you can convince anyone that county counsel is not the appropriate person to interpret a county ordinance (subject to judicial review), let me know.

Your beanie babies are safe due to Lex Arma's hard work. Take two seconds and say thank you.

One thing at a time lol. First we need to see the exact language from the sacred text which, surprisingly, you haven't provided!

(While you're at it, take a wild guess who represented the county throughout the Nordyke litigation and whose name is on all the pleadings. It's a tough one, I hope you don't strain yourself trying to figure it out. )

Yep, there it is, in black and white: county counsel is the only official authorized to interpret the ordinance. Oh wait, the JSUF doesn't say that. Just for fun, let's assume that's what the JSUF says. Maybe fizux can i.d. the county's attorneys of record in the Nordyke litigation so we can see whether the county's interpretation was "authorized." (By the way, you're not really arguing that the county's interpretation made during litigation was unauthorized, improper, and unofficial are you? Because if you are, it would be the most retarded argument ever made lol.)
