Frequently Asked Questions

What was the purpose of California's AB 1092?

AB 1092 was a legislative proposal in California intended to extend the validity period of Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permits from the current two years to four years. This change aimed to reduce administrative burdens and costs for both the state and permit holders.

Why did AB 1092 fail in the California legislature?

AB 1092 was killed in a California legislative committee with a 2-7 vote. The speaker suggests this failure is attributed to the legislature's general opposition to expanding or protecting firearm carry rights within the state.

What is the new renewal deadline for California CCW permits under AB 1078?

Under AB 1078, California CCW permit holders must now apply for renewal within a strict 90-day window immediately preceding their permit's expiration date. Missing this window can lead to a more complex and costly renewal process.
