Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main impact of the new California DOJ regulations on CCW instructors?

The new emergency regulations from the California Department of Justice aim to eliminate approximately 90% of existing CCW instructors by imposing stringent and exclusive certification requirements, effectively disqualifying many who hold common certifications like NRA or USCCA.

What are the new certification requirements for CCW instructors in California?

Instructors must now be licensed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, certified by California POST, or authorized by a state-accredited school. These requirements exclude many previously accepted certifications, creating a significant barrier.

The public comment period is a very short, five-day window. There has been significant confusion and misleading information from the DOJ about when this period officially begins, potentially invalidating comments submitted prematurely.

How can gun owners and instructors fight these new California CCW instructor regulations?

The primary action is to submit comments during the official public comment period. Gun owners should monitor GunOwnerCA.com and CRPA.org for accurate information on when and how to submit comments to both the OAL and the DOJ.
