The US state of California will ban carrying guns in most public places.

Starting in 2024, Californians will not be able to carry guns in most public places.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a ban on California's law that prohibits people from carrying guns in public is invalid.

On December 20, a three-judge panel suspended the gun ban passed by the Democratic administration in California on the grounds that it violated the rights of American citizens to own and bear arms under the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

The gun ban will take effect on January 1, 2024 after Governor Gavin Newsom signed it into law in September.

California's move comes after the US Supreme Court in June 2022 declared for the first time that the country's constitution protects the right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense, marking the most far-reaching ruling on gun control in the US in decades.

Under California's new law, people are not allowed to carry guns in "sensitive places" in 26 categories, including hospitals, playgrounds, stadiums, zoos, and places of worship, whether they have a license to carry a gun or not.

The law also prohibits people from concealing guns in areas such as privately owned businesses that are open to the public, unless they post signs permitting it.
