The links have a great analysis of the the case itself, and the, appropriately so, pink elephant in the room known as Heller.
For the more legally inclined, here is the case itself: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2014/02/12/1056971.pdf
I imagine an en banc hearing on the matter. However, i'd bet heavily that the SCOTUS will grant a writ of certiorari on the matter. The Circuits are all over the place on the actual contours of Heller.
[T]oday’s Ninth Circuit decision in Peruta v. County of San Diego (9th Cir. Feb. 13, 2014), concludes that California’s broad limits on both open and concealed carry of loaded guns “impermissibly infringe[] on the Second Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense.”
The Court ruled that a government may specify what mode of carrying to allow (open or concealed), but a government may not make it impossible for the vast majority of Californians to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
