Frequently Asked Questions

Why did LA County stop issuing CCW permits?

LA County's Sheriff's Department has stopped issuing CCW permits. This is speculated to be due to the adoption of standardized CCW permits mandated by California's SP2 bill, which required approval from the California DOJ. The department is likely restructuring its process to comply with these new standards.

What is the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) doing about CCW delays?

The CRPA has filed a lawsuit against the California Attorney General and the Los Angeles County Sheriff. They argue that the excessive wait times for CCW permits, which can exceed two years, are unconstitutional infringements on the right to bear arms.

Is it legal for LA County to pause CCW permit applications?

The speaker argues that it is not legal to pause constitutional rights, such as the right to self-defense, due to administrative changes or new processes. They believe that a right delayed is a right denied, and any pause in issuing permits is an infringement on fundamental rights.

What is the significance of the Bruen decision regarding CCW permits?

The Supreme Court's Bruen decision affirmed the constitutional right to carry arms for self-defense outside the home. This ruling has impacted states like California that previously had 'good cause' or 'just cause' requirements for obtaining CCW permits, making it more difficult for citizens to exercise this right.
