NON RESIDENT CCW IN CALIFORNIA

Published on September 24, 2024
Duration: 8:56

This video announces a significant legal development allowing non-residents to apply for a California Concealed Carry Permit (CCW). The CRPA, SAF, GOA, and GOC have achieved a preliminary win against the LA Sheriff's Department, enabling non-residents to obtain a California CCW without needing to be physically present in the state for interviews, fingerprinting, or training. The process, once finalized by a judge, will require applicants to be members of one of the involved organizations and apply to a specific county sheriff or city PD based on a good faith intention to visit within the next year. Training requirements, including live fire, can potentially be completed outside of California, with provisions for remote interviews and mailed fingerprints.

Quick Summary

Non-residents can now apply for a California Concealed Carry Permit (CCW) following a legal settlement. Key requirements include membership in organizations like CRPA, applying to a specific county/city based on visitation intent, and the ability to complete training and interviews outside of California.
