Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-residents now carry firearms in California?

Yes, a recent court ruling allows non-residents who are US citizens to apply for a California concealed handgun license. This is a significant change from previous restrictions where individuals entering California were effectively disarmed.

What are the requirements for a non-resident to get a California CCW permit?

Non-residents must be US citizens, members of CRPA, GOA, or 2AF, and not otherwise prohibited. Requirements include state ID, virtual classroom training, live fire training in their home state, and potentially a virtual interview and psychological exam.

Is this ruling an immediate reciprocity for carrying in California?

No, this is not an immediate reciprocity. It's a new avenue for non-residents to apply for a California-issued concealed handgun license. The process is described as slow, expensive, and time-consuming.

What California laws still apply to non-residents with a CCW permit?

Even with a permit, non-residents must adhere to California's laws, including the 10-round magazine capacity limit (pending the Duncan case resolution) and restrictions on carrying firearms in sensitive locations.
