California Attorney General Rob Bonta is responsible for issuing the new emergency regulations that limit the types of instructors and institutions qualified to provide the mandatory live fire training required under SB 2.

What is the main criticism of California's SB 2 implementing regulations?

The primary criticism, as voiced by William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, is that the emergency regulations create 'sinister tricks' by severely limiting the availability of approved live fire training, effectively making it nearly impossible for many lawful citizens to obtain a CCW permit.

What was the deadline for public comment on California's SB 2 emergency regulations?

The public comment period for California's emergency regulations implementing SB 2 was very short, closing on December 15, 2023, due to their emergency status. This limited the time for citizens to voice concerns.
