Thank you for your help this week. Senate Bill 448 by Senator Greg Evers was heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee. House Bill 209 by Representative Heather Fitzenhagen was heard in the House Criminal Justice Committee
Fairfax, VA – The United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit today ruled in favor of the right of law-abiding citizens in California to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense. California law allows local governments to issue concealed and open carry permits, but generally prohibits the carriage of handguns in public places. The San Diego County Sheriff’s office further restricts gun permits only to law-abiding citizens who can prove “good cause,” meaning they have to show they faced a specific threat to their safety above what the general public faces.
