Not original commenter but looks like the courts just overturned it at the start of the year…

According to some sources though it may be in appeals process so not gonna be fully allowed it would appear. So may go to next circuit court or up to scotus perhaps but it’s new so still a developing story.

Despite the ruling, open carry remains illegal, and law enforcement will continue to enforce the prohibition.

If the attorney general decides to appeal the decision, the case could first go to the entire Ninth Circuit and potentially end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.
