What are the main criticisms of California's CCW application process?

Critics point to high application fees, mandatory training costs, and potentially biased psychological evaluations conducted by private companies. Denials are often based on vague 'psychological concerns' or unsubstantiated accusations, rather than concrete evidence of disqualification.

How does the lawsuit address the psychological evaluation aspect of CCW applications?

The lawsuit questions the validity and fairness of psychological evaluations, which are often performed by private entities. Concerns include the qualifications of evaluators, the brevity of assessments, and the potential for these evaluations to be used as a tool to deny rights.
