Meanwhile, anxious lawmakers are attempting a do-over on the licensing rules.
But California’s concealed gun permit rules were unevenly administered. In about half the state’s counties — typically urban and politically liberal — police chiefs and sheriffs have made them hard to get, while in rural and conservative counties, they have issued them more freely. said that making gun owners prove a need to carry their weapon outside the home runs afoul of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. The court noted its decision would apply to other states with similar discretionary permitting rules: California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Supreme Court ruling “shameful” and urged swift action to restore as much of the state’s permit system as possible. As a result, Portantino wrote a bill instituting sharp limits on where concealed weapons could be carried, and taking effect immediately upon being signed into law. That “urgency clause” meant the bill would have required a two-thirds vote in the Legislature instead of a simple majority.
