Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Hoffman v. Bonta court ruling in California?

The Hoffman v. Bonta ruling resulted in a permanent injunction against California's ban on non-residents obtaining firearm carry permits. This victory, championed by the Firearms Policy Coalition, allows non-residents to apply for permits under the same conditions as California residents, overturning a long-standing restrictive law.

Which California Penal Code sections were affected by the permanent injunction in Hoffman v. Bonta?

The permanent injunction in the Hoffman v. Bonta case specifically blocks the enforcement of California Penal Code sections 26150(a)(3) and 26155(a)(3). These sections were previously used to prohibit non-residents, who are members of the Firearms Policy Coalition, from obtaining firearm carry permits in the state.

What were California's previous restrictions on non-resident firearm carry permits?

Previously, California did not have reciprocity for firearm carry permits and effectively prevented non-residents from applying for permits, disarming them upon entry. While a prior case allowed applications, California attempted to impose complex, multi-page requirements, which the court ultimately blocked via injunction.
