Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's SB 2 law and why was it challenged?

California's SB 2 law enacted new, stricter regulations for concealed carry permits, including expanded "sensitive location" restrictions and increased training hours. It was challenged by gun rights organizations like CRPA, GOA, SAF, and GOC in the May v. Bonta case, arguing it defied the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

What was the outcome of the May v. Bonta case regarding SB 2?

In the May v. Bonta case, Judge Cormac J. Carney granted a preliminary injunction against key provisions of California's SB 2 law. This ruling temporarily blocks many of the new restrictions from taking effect, citing a likelihood of success on the merits for the plaintiffs.

What is the significance of the Bruen decision in relation to SB 2?

The NYSRPA v. Bruen Supreme Court decision affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. SB 2 was seen by plaintiffs as an attempt to circumvent this ruling by imposing broad restrictions, which the court's injunction has now challenged.

What are the next steps for California officials regarding SB 2?

Following the preliminary injunction against SB 2, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have stated their intention to appeal the judge's decision. They plan to take the case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
