   MEMORANDUM

Robert Thomson appeals from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging a violation of his Second Amendment rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Peruta v. County of San Diego, 824 F.3d 919, 925 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc), and we affirm.

In Peruta v. San Diego, this court held that a member of the general public does not have a right under the Second Amendment to carry a concealed firearm in public, and that a state may impose restrictions, including a showing of good cause, on concealed carry. Id. at 939. The San Diego and Yolo County Sheriffs Department policies interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement at issue in Penda therefore survived a Second Amendment challenge. See id. For the same reasons the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department’s policies interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement do not violate the Second Amendment.

AFFIRMED.
