On July 1, 2025, United States District Court Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo granted summary judgment to Firearms Policy Coalition members to obtain California Concealed Carry Permits. Judge Bencivengo ordered the Plaintiffs and Defendant to submit proposed orders within 30 days. From the order:
For the above reasons, the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to their facial challenge pursuant to the Second/Fourteenth Amendment and denies the request for relief pursuant to the Privileges and Immunities Clause. The parties are ORDERED to meet and confer and submit a proposed order for an injunction consistent with this order within 30 days.
It is SO ORDERED.
The California Attorney General submitted a proposal requiring applicants to attest, under oath, that they intend to spend time in a California jurisdiction within the next 12 months. The proposal includes four pages of explicit instructions about how non-residents can apply and what laws they must observe.
The plaintiffs submitted an order that says California licensing authorities are permanently enjoined from enforcing Penal Code sections 26150(a)(3) and 26155(a)(3). Judge Bencivengo chose the Firearms Policy Coalition’s order. Here it is:
Defendant Attorney General Rob Bonta; Defendant’s officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and any other persons who are in active concert or participation with Defendant, are hereby permanently enjoined from enforcing California Penal Code sections 26150(a)(3) and 26155(a)(3) as to CCW applications submitted by Plaintiff Firearms Policy Coalition’s members who are not residents of California, including the named Individual Plaintiffs.
California vests the issuing of concealed carry permits with sheriffs and police chiefs. The issuance of permits varies enormously between jurisdictions. Thirty years ago, sheriffs and police chiefs could issue permits to anyone they chose.

“all non-residents” should be “allow non-residents”
The problem we have in any Dem jurisdiction is that Dems do not believe in the right of armed self defense, and will prosecute you and destroy you with lawfare for exercising it.
Ouch!
