"We therefore conclude that the right to keep and bear arms is �deeply rooted in this Nation�s history and tradition.� Colonial revolutionaries, the Founders, and a host of commentators and lawmakers living during the first one hundred years of the Republic all insisted on the fundamental nature of the right. It has long been regarded as the �true palladium of liberty.� Colonists relied on it to assert and to win their independence, and the victorious Union sought to prevent a recalcitrant South from abridging it less than a century later. The crucial role this deeply rooted right has played in our birth and history compels us to recognize that it is indeed fundamental, that it is necessary to the Anglo-American conception of ordered liberty that we have inherited. We are therefore persuaded that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment and applies it against the states and local governments."

For the 9th to call for incorporation, that means a lot, as it is the most LiberaL Court in the nation. Les

http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2009/04/20/0715763.pdfSuperb analysis of the history and tradition of the 2nd Amendment, and the first of likely many to incorporate the 2nd. That it comes from the 9th, unanimously on this point, is telling.

does it have any effect outside the 9th circuit jurisdiction??? It is a phenomenally good thing! Does it have any immediate, direct effect outside the 9th? No, not yet, but it will. The 9th was generally regarded as the last place such would occur. That it has, there, and as resoundingly, will move things along quickly now.

Site: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2009/04/20/0715763.pdfCite: As one commentator has already put it, the Nordyke lost the battle, but won the war. I'd say it differently ( Nordyke lost a skirmish, but won a major battle), however, the end result is the same. We now have incorporation in the Ninth, and it WILL now happen on the federal level.
