A federal judge has issued a permanent injunction against California's enforcement of residency requirements for concealed carry permit applications, specifically impacting members of the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC). This ruling, stemming from a lawsuit filed by FPC and Christopher Hoffman, allows non-residents who are FPC members to apply for permits under the same process as California residents, effectively removing a significant barrier to obtaining a CCW in the state. While this does not establish reciprocity for out-of-state permits, it opens a pathway for non-residents to enter California's permitting system.
A California federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the state, preventing the denial of Second Amendment rights to individuals with non-violent felony convictions from other states that have been vacated or nullified. This ruling specifically impacts plaintiffs Paul McKinley, Stewart, and Kendall Jones, who were challenging the state's use of dismissed felony convictions to prohibit firearm ownership. The decision emphasizes that once a conviction is vacated, individuals should not face penalties based on it, restoring their rights.
