The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the Second Amendment endows the right to carry a gun outside the home. The opinion comes days before the Supreme Court is expected to decidewhether to review two other cases that ask the question of whether the right to bear arms extends beyond the home.

The California-based appeals court, in a 2-1 ruling authored by Judge Diarmuid OScannlain, delved into American history, from the Founding Era forward, and found support for the notion that bearing arms means carrying a gun in public:

So concludes our analysis of text and history: the carrying of an operablehandgun outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense, though subject totraditional restrictions, constitutes bear[ing] Arms within the meaning of the Second Amendment.

The case comes from San Diego County, which, according to state law, requires residents to show good cause for carrying a concealed handgun. Personal safety alone does not qualify as good cause. The question for the court was whether the requirement infringes on the Second Amendments right to bear arms.

From the Ninth Circuit:

The question is notwhether the California scheme (in light of San Diego Countys policy) allows somepeople to bear arms outside the home in some places at some times; instead, thequestion is whether it allows the typical responsible, law-abiding citizen to beararms in public for the lawful purpose of self-defense. The answer to the latterquestion is a resounding no.

To be clear, we are not holding that the Second Amendment requires thestates to permit concealed carry. But the Second Amendment does require that thestates permit some form of carry for self-defense outside the home.

The courts ruling aligns with one by the Chicago-based Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but conflicts with the Second, Third and Fourth Circuits.

Last year, the Ohio National Guard conducted a training drill in which a fictitious school custodian, angry about gun control, unleashed chemical weapons. (Ohio National Guard)

The Ohio National Guard has seen the enemy and it is a school janitor who supports the Second Amendment?

The Guards 52nd Civil Support Team held a training drill last year in southern Ohio which pitted members against a sinister janitor and a chemistry teacher sidekick who concocted chemical weapons in two makeshift labs, unleashing them on middle school students before killing himself. Inside the lair of the creepy custodian, identified as Mr. Wart, agents found several statements about protecting Gun Rights and Second Amendment rights on a chalkboard as well as on tables, according to the training packet.

Fortunately, none of it actually happened. Critics say it is telling that a government groups chosen bogeyman would be Second Amendment supporters.

They were characterizing gun owners and Second Amendment supporters as white extremists," Chad Baus, of the Buckeye Firearms Association, told FoxNews.com. "It was a month after Sandy Hook. There was a large debate where gun owners were being blamed. I think the timing of it was extremely important here.

- Chad Baus, Buckeye Firearms Association

According to the drill, Mr. Wart and the unnamed chemistry teacher were producing ricin and sulfur mustard. Another clue to their motivation was a printed CNN article found among instructions for making the deadly toxins. In the article, a real story from March 2011, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre accused the Obama administration of trying to weaken the Constitutions Second Amendment.

Other evidence found near Mr. Wart included the name and contact information of William Pierce, an infamous (and now dead) neo-Nazi.

Second Amendment is a short text adventure written in Unity 3D. An unwieldy mashing together of QWOP-like, one-finger typing and straight-laced storytelling, the game is almost certainly one-of-a-kind.

Gamasutra recently tracked down Second Amendment's three developers -- Ramiro Corbetta, Jane Friedhoff and K. Anthony Marefat -- to get the inside story on how such an unconventional game came about.

Gamasutra: Just to start out, would you mind sharing a bit about your respective backgrounds?

Ramiro Corbetta: Im the old guy in the group, I guess. Ive been making games professionally since about 2005. Right now I'm working on Hokra, which is part of Sportsfriends -- that should be coming out in February or March, or so I hope. However, the three of us met through Parsons The New School for Design, particularly the design and technology MFA program.

Jane Friedhoff: Ramiro worked with me on my thesis game for Parsons, Vici. I also made a little thing called Hermit Crab in Space, which was part of the IndieCade East game jam and went on to be an IndieCade finalist.

K. Anthony Marefat: Im currently attending Parsons in the same program Jane and Ramiro went through. Compared to them, Im a relative newcomer in the whole indie game design thing. Code and I got along really well [when I was growing up] and I took a liking to programming, participating in jams and working on little projects here and there. As the credits on Second Amendment suggest, this is the first official game that Ive released.

RC: And clearly, Second Amendment is our masterpiece. [laughs]

Gamasutra: How did the game come about?

RC: We were all in a class together at Parsons. It was a Unity development course being taught by Robert Yang (Radiator), who is himself a recent graduate from the program.

We had reached a point where we had to figure out what our final project was going to be. And I joked, You know whats missing from Unity? Text adventures. No ones making text adventures in Unity. Whats up with that? Anthony and I laughed, but then we took it further: how would it work? How would you control it? Obviously it would need to be in 3D, because Unity is a 3D tool and we need to use the tool to its fullest.

PHOENIX State lawmakers sent a warning Monday to local officials: Do anything to help the federal government enforce its guns laws in violation of the Second Amendment and find yourself out on the street.

The legislation approved on a 6-3 vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee declares that all federal acts, laws, orders, rules and regulations that violate the true meaning and intent of the Second Amendment are invalid and void in this state. SB1294 also forbids the use of state personnel or resources to enforce those rules.

But the measure also says any agent or employee of the state or local government who knowingly violates the law is deemed to have resigned any commission the person possesses and is forever after ineligible to hold any office of trust, honor or emolument under the laws of this state.

Sen. Kelli Ward, R-Lake Havasu City, said that could even extend to members of a city council and local employees who do anything at all to help enforce federal laws. And the legislation says any local government that helps the feds loses all of its state aid.

Ward said that goes to the point of the law which voids any federal law that violates the true intent of the Second Amendment as given by the founders and ratifiers of the United States Constitution.

That raised a question from Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix, as to exactly who gets to interpret the true intent of the Second Amendment.

I believe the Constitution is as written, she said.

It says in the Second Amendment that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, Ward continued. And the definition of infringed is to act as to limit or undermine or encroach on something.

Ward said there would be due process for any official accused of violating the Second Amendment, with judicial protections.

But she also told Capitol Media Services that did not mean absolute deference to state or federal courts as to what is constitutional. Ward said the meaning of the Second Amendment has to be as defined by the Constitution.
