After losing a challenge to restrictions on carrying concealed firearms, gun owners in California filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to block a state law that prevents most people from carrying guns openly in public. The suit was filed by four Los Angeles County residents and the California Pistol and Rifle Assn. The suit, filed in Los Angeles federal district court, named Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris and Los Angeles County Sheriff James McDonnell as defendants. Another lawsuit challenging California’s ban on openly carrying guns is already pending in the 9th Circuit.
