How AB 1078 Could Trip Up Honest CCW Applicants

Assembly Bill 1078 addresses non-residents applying for a California Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit. The bill's language, influenced by a CRPA lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, aims to impose statutory backing for allowing non-residents to apply for and obtain a CCW. It clarifies that out-of-state convictions or comparable legal issues that would disqualify a California resident can also be grounds for denying a non-resident's application.

This video from Copper Jacket TV, featuring an expert speaker, critically analyzes new California gun legislation, specifically AB 1078, which imposes a three-per-month limit on firearm and precursor part purchases.

The video also highlights sponsorship from Attorneys On Retainer, offering legal defense for self-defense incidents.

This video explains the legal maneuver by California to dissolve the injunction in Hoffman v. Bonta, which had allowed non-residents to apply for CCW permits. By passing AB 1078, California changed the underlying law, enabling them to argue for the injunction's dissolution under Rule 60(b)(5) due to changed circumstances. While the injunction was dissolved procedurally, the court did not rule on the constitutionality of California's new non-resident application process, setting the stage for future legal challenges.
