Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DOJ suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for?

The DOJ's Civil Rights Division has filed an affirmative lawsuit against the LASD, accusing them of systematically obstructing Second Amendment rights. This is primarily due to intentional bureaucratic delays in processing Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permits.

What are the statistics on CCW permit delays in Los Angeles County?

Between January 2024 and March 2025, LASD approved only 2 out of 3,982 new CCW applications. Median delays exceed 372 days, with some applicants facing waits up to 1,030 days, far exceeding California's 90-day statutory requirement.

How does the DOJ's lawsuit against LASD differ from previous actions?

This is the first affirmative lawsuit filed by the DOJ specifically supporting gun owners' rights. It leverages the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to challenge patterns of conduct that allegedly deprive citizens of their constitutional rights.

What is the argument for Constitutional Carry in light of these delays?

Proponents of Constitutional Carry argue that permit requirements grant excessive power to governments, allowing for fees and delays that infringe upon the right to bear arms. National Constitutional Carry aims to eliminate these administrative hurdles entirely.
