(Fort Worth, Texas) – The SelfDefenseFund.com defends American Gun Owners in self-defense and the rights of its members. It has also given voice to non-members to alert and inform the gun rights community and provide real-time updates on the cases that has the interest of others. It has been following the pure Open Carry case Charles Nichols v. Edmund G. Brown Jr., et al. Mr. Nichols’ Federal lawsuit seeks to overturn California’s ban on openly carrying loaded and unloaded firearms in public, for the purpose of self-defense.Mr. Nichols’ case is still pending in the 9th circuit court of appeals. Although Mr. Nichols is not an attorney, he was granted the extremely rare opportunity to argue his case before a three-judge panel of Federal Judges in February of 2018. In over 20 years, there have been just three non-attorneys allowed to participate in oral argument, the other two won. This November, Mr. Nichols will have been fighting in Federal court for seven years, on his own, against the State of California and against the so-called gun-rights groups who seek to ban Open Carry in favor of concealed carry permits.

Mr. Nichols provides a detailed analysis on the Young vs. Hawaii Case, regarding its open carry ruling made in July of 2018 involving a Hawaii citizen arguing a similar stance that open carry of a firearm is provided for in the U.S. Constitution, under the 2nd Amendment and what that may mean for gun owners in that Federal circuit and in the rest of America at his website - CaliforniaRightToCarry.org
Mr. Nichols recently wrote that Mr. Young was very lucky in that he had asked for, and been denied, a license to openly carry a handgun in addition to his request for a concealed carry license. After the 9th circuit court of appeals correctly held that there is not a Second Amendment right for a member of the general public to carry a weapon concealed in public, the concealed carry lawsuits in this circuit fell like flies. Mr. Young’s “appeal would have been another dead fly, in a pile of dead flies.”

Constitutional Carry as it has been called, has come to mean that if an American of legal age can buy a gun, they can carry that gun without the need for a state license or any license.
According to Open Carry Texas website, another leader fighting to restore gun rights across America there are now 34 states allow for unlicensed constitutional open carry (19) or licensed open carry(15), with 7 states considering moving to constitutional carry as of this writing. States like California and Hawaii have resisted the trend towards reinstatement.
“The battle seems to be for a restoration of gun rights in the form of Constitutional Carry – the right to carry a firearm in self-defense without a license for law abiding citizens. If open carry was such a problem why is it expanding across America rather than contracting,” says CJ Grisham, Founder of Open Carry Texas who will be a featured speaker at the BamaCarry.org Convention in February of 2019 (another state fight for constitutional carry – meaning no need for a license to carry a firearm).
