Two New Concealed Carry Bills in Kalifornia

Two Concealed Carry Reform Bills Introduced in the Golden State!

Two Right-to-Carry reform bills have been introduced this legislative session in Sacramento.

Assembly Bill 357, sponsored by Assembly Member Steve Knight (R-36), would create a "shall issue" concealed handgun permit system in California. Under current law, an applicant must show cause as to why they should be issued a permit to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense. AB357 would remove that stipulation and require sheriffs to issue the license if all other mandated criteria are satisfied. This bill has been referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety but no hearing has been scheduled.

Assembly Bill 1167, introduced by Assembly Member Jim Nielsen (R-2), would require that the California Department of Justice enter into reciprocity agreements with other states so that permit holders in California can exercise their self-defense rights while traveling and permit holders from recognized states can carry while in California. AB1167 has not yet been assigned to a committee.

Those will be welcomed by the legislature like a fart in a space suit.

The "Bear" clause of the 2nd amendment is the issue here. The right to keep and bear arms is a right. Rights are not to be regulated by the government. This is going to get interesting in light of Heller.

What have you been smoking? Are you under the impression that states or the fed. gov't. care what in the U.S. Constitution? There's no consequence for ignoring a SCOTUS ruling anyway.

If that bill passes I'll personally lube myself up with Crisco and run naked across the front lawn of the State Assembly building in Sacramento screaming "THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!!!"

That's how sure I am that bill will die.

This bill has the same odds of survival as a snowflake on the surface of the sun.

The reps will vote for it, the dems will vote against it, and it will die. The reps are outnumbered.

Rick,

Point on. Just cigs, maybe I should try smoking something that allows for the detachment needed to live in this state.
