This video details a new 'emergency rule' from the California Attorney General and Department of Justice that significantly complicates obtaining a Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) permit. The rule, effective January 1, 2024, alongside SB2, imposes stringent and costly new requirements for firearm instructors, aiming to eliminate approximately 80% of currently certified instructors. This is presented as a backdoor method of gun control, bypassing legislative processes and creating substantial barriers for Californians seeking to exercise their right to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main impact of California's new emergency rule on CCW permits?

The new rule drastically increases requirements for firearm instructors, aiming to eliminate 80% of them. This will cause shortages, longer wait times, and significantly higher costs for Californians seeking a CCW permit, making it much harder to obtain.

Which entities are now recognized for California CCW classroom instructor certification?

Under the new rule, only three entities are accepted: the Bureau of Security & Investigative Services, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a State Accredited School. Previously accepted certifications like USCCA or NRA are no longer valid.

How does California's new rule affect live-fire instructor qualifications?

Live-fire instructors must now be certified by specific bodies such as Federal Government Certified Rangemasters, Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, US Military MOS, or the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, many of which are difficult for civilians to achieve.

Why is the California DOJ's new rule considered 'emergency rule-making'?

The rule was rushed through with minimal public comment, using an 'emergency procedure' to bypass standard legislative processes. This tactic is criticized for limiting public input and quickly implementing restrictive measures.
