Frequently Asked Questions

What is Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) in California and how does it affect CCW permits?

SB 2 imposes significant new restrictions on CCW permits in California. It designates large areas as 'sensitive places' where permits are invalid and adds difficult qualifications and high fees, aiming to make carrying a firearm for self-defense impractical for many citizens.

What is Assembly Bill 28 (AB 28) and why is it being challenged?

AB 28 is a new tax imposed on gun owners in California. It's being challenged by groups like CRPA as a 'poll tax' on a constitutional right, designed to price people out of the market and make firearm ownership more expensive.

What legal action is CRPA taking against these new California gun laws?

CRPA has already filed a lawsuit challenging SB 2, with a hearing for a preliminary injunction set for December 4th. They are also preparing a lawsuit against AB 28, forming an alliance with firearm manufacturers who will be directly impacted by the tax.

How do these new California gun laws relate to the Bruin Supreme Court decision?

CRPA argues that SB 2 is a retaliatory response to the Bruin decision, which affirmed the right to carry firearms for self-defense. They contend that California's broad designation of 'sensitive places' under SB 2 goes against the Bruin Court's guidance, which limited such designations to places with security presence.
