Fouts v Bonta USDC Southern CA Decision

Judge rules that carrying a billy club is legal in California, overturning his own previous ruling.

J. Benitez reverses himself in a ruling determining that California's ban on billy clubs unconstitutionally violates the Second Amendment. Unlike his previous ruling, which found the over 100 year old law was "longstanding," he finds that there is not historical analogue for the ban in the time period specified by Bruen, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
