In San Diego sheriffs will continue to review applicants
for permits which will allow them to carry guns. “Despite a court ruling that
struck down California’s concealed weapons statute, the San Diego county Sheriff’s
Department” will continue to give out permits to those who meet the standards. People
will continue to apply for permits and then those applications will be reviewed
to see whether they’re capable of carrying a concealed weapon. On Thursday the
ruling by a “three-judge panel of the 9TH Circuit Court of Appeals
found that the statute, as applied by the San Diego department, was overly restrictive
and violate the 2nd amendment”.
Those that don’t meet the standards will be denied their permit. Many people in the San Diego area support this
ruling and don’t have a problem with it. For example, Tony Kravic, a republican,
tweeted his support for the ruling that was made on Thursday.

West Hollywood Rainbow Flag
On June 2013 there was a rainbow flag that was hung
above City Hall. Now the West Hollywood City Council has responded to a growing
criticism of the removal of that flag. The flag will be removing, but there
will be a compromise. In order for the flag to be moved, there will be another
flag hung that incorporates rainbow colors into the city logo. In a last week meeting
the council members agreed to this change. On January the flag was removed due
to a unanimous vote by the council. As soon as the flag was removed they got complains
from the residents because 40% of the people living there identify themselves
as gay or lesbian and four the council members are gay men. The new flag that
will have a rainbow city logo, this logo is already displayed on city vehicles
and on the vehicles of Los Angeles County sheriffs’ deputies in the West
Hollywood Station.
