California Concealed Carry Law - What You Don’t Know!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2022
- To say there’s been quite the hullabaloo about Concealed Carry in “those other states”, would be a gross understatement. However, did you know that California is among a half dozen states that no longer require people to show good cause in order to qualify for a license to carry a concealed weapon? Yes…CALIFORNIA!
You likely don’t realize that with all the finger wagging, California has been a concealed carry state since…ready for this…1923! Since that time the legislature has progressively tightened the restrictions for concealed carry, but it is still quite legal.
Listen while Matt Guichard, of GTP Lawyers, talks about California’s Concealed Carry law and recounts stories to illustrate how the law is applied in practical terms.
GTP's Personal Injury Attorneys have years of experience prosecuting Personal Injury, Wrongful and Catastrophic Death, Sexual Abuse and Assault, Business Formation and Litigation, Immigration, and Patents/Trademarks.

All these terrific laws dont keep prohibited people from getting guns on the black market. Period
Yep, the streets don't do background checks nor do the streets care about felonies or minors. The streets want to see the cash, have a nice day.
Those of us that are Law abiding citizens shall not be infringed upon!
In Santa Clara county it was easy to get a concealed carry license you just had to give sheriff Lori Smith 25,000 towards her campaign then you wouldn't even have to qualify not even let them know what handgun you're going to have on your CCW and renewals were just handed to you.......VIP baby....I mean she was indicted and convicted but you know she was a tyrant
That sucks brother. And in Sanjo is where you need to be packing. It’s a crazy world we live in. How does it make sense to have criminals armed and not good moral citizens?
@@JuanKukoc It justifies the existence of the Police/Sheriffs. Where do you think the thin blue line propaganda started from, Police/Sheriff's Unions. Disarm the population yet leave them vulnerable to the criminals justifies the existence of Police/Sheriff's, more are needed, the Union makes more money via more Police/Sheriff's. The heads of the Police/Sheriff's are in Bed with the heads of the Unions, it's a big Ole boys circle jerk club!!
The Unions pay of Sacramento, Sacramento passes Unconstitutional laws, Public are just pawns in a huge payof racket amongst criminals who are meant to work for you the public !!
California needs to have permitless carry that is the only gun law that works.
California needs to lose its statehood.
my son has a CCP in Washington. He was 18 with a .44 Mag for wildlife protection, required in the sticks. Responsible folks we are but I can't legally be armed here in Ca. Contractors are prime targets for getting jacked in Oakland these days. They take the whole truck at gun point...Good citizens should be able to carry, especially women. Granny should be able to pack a .32 in her purse with the make up and tissues.
Oakland contractor here and I just applied for my ccw Alameda county and know it wont be easy.
But just for the reason you said....I/we were pulled up on and guys with guns exited and stole some expensive demo tools and more.
And I'm just one of MANY that experienced this over this year alone.
L.A. County still maintains the same status quo as before, and the current L.A. Sheriff is under investigation for CCW corruption. Only the privileged few will get CCWs like retired police and fire, judges, and VIPs. Money is better spent on training. I did everything plus I took the required CCW class BEFORE applying. I was denied but I learned several valuable lessons. So it wasn't a total loss. I later experienced an imminent threat where I also had to protect my handicapped mother. If that had happened outside of my home, my mother and I would have been at a major disadvantage. A right doesn't require a permit, which won't be given to the average person anyway. Only you are responsible for you and your loved ones' safety.
This video has so little engagement for such a huge topic. Yes your LA police are corrupt to the CORE!
I’m a regular joe and pretty poor. I got my CCW just fine in LA County.
@@chancejensen9324 It's been a year since I wrote that. It's even worse now. But either way, do what you think is best. I've had a lot of time to think about this and do research. I'll just say this: a right that requires permission isn't a right.
He is 100% wrong on the waiting period in CA. Once you have purchased the new gun, you go thru a mandatory 10 day "cooling off " period, then if your background check has not been completed, you are then subject to another 30 day waiting period. At the conclusion of that waiting period, if the state still cannot approve you, You are then put on "UNDETERMINED STATUS " At which point it is left to the FFL (gunstore owner) to decide whether or not to deliver the gun.
Another problem is, If I Already Own a firearm,
and are buying a 2nd or 3rd, Why would I be subject to a cooling off period?
The cooling off period was instituted so that you could not buy firearm and take it home the same day, giving the buyer time to "Cool Off". If I ALREADY OWN AND HAVE IN MY POSSESSION MULTIPLE FIREARMS, HOW DOES THIS LAW APPLY TO ME?
I don't know anyone who is supporting the idea that a felon or crazy person should have a gun. Back ground checks are good. But it isn't legal or fair for some person who has never met me, to deny me my Constitutional right to be able to defend myself and my family, due to his/her political views or feelings.
So, should you be required to do a background check to vote, how about you having to do a back ground check to exercise you right to speech, exercise your right to religion, exercises your write to associate. How about having to do a background check before you can have a lawyer, what about your 5th amendment?
How about having to do a background check for the 3 broad categories of Life, liberty & pursuit of happiness?
& if you fail that background check for any reason you are denied all those inalienable rights?
No, inalienable rights are just that, inalienable. Government doesn't grant those rights to us, there for they have no right to restrict or deny those rights.
To protect our rights we must defend the right of those we despise or we to one day will fall pray to it
If I was an attorney, I would argue before the US Supreme Court that the issuance of CCW permits is illegal and restrictive and does not fully embrace the US Constitution Second amendment. Even if a CCW permit is issued, you are restricted by state to state riprocity laws. This is bogus. There is absolutely no state to state restrictions with the United States Constitution Second amendment. More importantly, why do we need permission from a government agency to protect and defend ourselves and loved ones? Is law enforcement legally liable if they arrived too late and a death or multiple deaths have occurred???
People need to wake up and realize that government is controlling, killing freedom at every corner possible.
The only licensing authority is and should be the United States Constitution Second amendment.
BTW...the United States Constitution Second amendment is not applicable to liberals and members and voters of the Demonic National Party.
Well said 👍
Per the Supreme Courts decisions and the Constitution all gun laws are unconstitutional laws. We the people are not legally obligated to abide by them.
That flawed opinion is a great way to end up convicted of a felony. I agree that 90% of gun laws violate the Constitution. But as we see with some challenges to California gun jaws currently in Federal Court, it takes years to get those cases adjudicates. Meanwhile one can sit in prison fighting it. My advice is until the laws get reversed don't break them.
Tell them that while they are cuffing you.
Very informative video. Thank you, sir.
Terrific video, thank you for posting this.
I would appreciate you going over the Justice Thomas opinion and it's "warning" regarding states like CA trying to replace good cause with other unconstitutional schemes to suppress 2A protected rights.
I would appreciate if you did a story on the MANY ethical violations of Justice Thomas.
@@johnlarson1821Just remember the words of Al Gore: No prevailing legal authority.
@@johnlarson1821
Why don't you enlighten us.
Man I’m happy I’m in Kings county. One of the best counties for this in California
Great breakdown
Won't travel to California...glad I got to see it when it was BEAUTIFUL!
This guy makes me wanna never come to this channel ever again !
@20:00 Mr. Guichard says the CCW expires after two years, and that the entire process (fees, training, background checks, etc.) must be repeated. Wouldn't this create gaps in coverage, or does the renewal process somehow mitigate that problem? Thank you.
Issuing agencies recommend that you start the renewal process 6 months prior to permit expiration to avoid lapses.
for the record...it's a license...you get tested, background check, etc. A "permit" is something you get to build a barbecue in your backyard...LICENSE.
Some factual inaccuracies in this video. This video portrays the live fire qualification like it is some hard impossible test to pass. Every issuing agency has a different test, some are easier than others, all are easy if you know basic fundamentals. For example, one issuing agency requires you to hit a B8 ring target at 3, 5, 7 yards (17 of 24 on each target). Another requires B8 at 5, 7, 15 yards (21 of 25 hits 10 on 5, 10 on 7, 5 on 15).
Also - renewal does not require you to do everything over again. It will be a 4 hour refresher course (versus the initial 16 hour course) every 2 years.
Clearly CA lawyers don't understand the Buren decision, it struck down any arborary decision making in issuing a CCW or allowing a person to carry a firearm, that includes that good moral character requirement, it also clearly stated that any the government strictions that require train to carry a firearm is also unconstitutional, because we do not require train for citizens to exercise any other constitutional rights, they also clearly stated that, there is no historical tradition in the history of the US of restricting firearms
please update and peak on SB2
My understanding is that out of state residents can not obtain a CCW in California. Doesn't the state need to choose another
states' CCW to honor, or start issuing to out of state residents ?
CCW's aren't the same as our right to keep & bear arms. It's not really a permit, it's more of a mandatory registration. A data base of not only of the individual but also a data base of weapons types & calibers.
So, basically your when you get a CCW, your are paying that state to put you in a data base of armed citizens, & as we have seen with Red Flag laws across this country, ATF & other Law enforcement agency's they are using it to go after guns
Question California Residency Requirement:
Can an owner of residential vacation property in the state of California be granted a CCWL despite retaining there permanent residency in another state?
NO
San Joaquin County Sheriff are the best!!!! no good cause needed and very smooth process, does take time but they tell you to be patient
If Article 2 states that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, why should I need to pay the exorbitant fees for a license to exercise my right. Do I need a permit to free speech, or to petition the government for redress of a wrong by the government?
Oh yea hold on mr shooter please dont shoot yet im on hold with the LAPD, they said theyl be here in about 20mins, can you hold off till then? 🙄
Until SB2 things were working out. We need to change the focus of politicians to work on real crime instead of the easy target of CCW permits. And, yes, open carry is absurd!
Is the California concealed carry licence cover the whole state ?
Yes, you may carry anywhere in the state
You might want to look that one up...... You don't have to have your ammunition separate from your weapon I can have a fully loaded magazine next to my weapon in a lockbox just as long as it's not inserted into the magazine well.... You should probably know that since you're a lawyer..... And if I was coming here for the first time not knowing the process I would think it was nearly impossible the way you describe it it's nowhere as hard as you're making it out to be..... So if you're looking for a CCW in your reading this just know it's nowhere close to how he's describing it as far as difficult... All the literature is common sense... You could spend a few hours handling a firearm and figure it all out a fourth grader could..... Go get your CCW it's easy
Penal code 2016..........“California law does not recognize concealed weapon permits from other states; therefore, they would not be held valid. If you wish to transport a handgun during your California visit, it should be carried unloaded in a locked container. In the absence of a suitable container, you may secure the unloaded handgun in the locked trunk of a passenger car. ((((((Ammunition may be kept in the same container))))) or trunk, but the handgun must remain unloaded with (((((no rounds in the cylinder and no loaded magazines in the magazine well.”)))))) -CHP’s website.
It’s now 25 or 26 states with Constitutional Carry Laws and growing, not 21. In an emergency when seconds count, the police are only minutes away if you’re lucky. I don’t expect to need a fire extinguisher, but I have several ay my house and one in my car just in case. It’s better to have a concealed gun and not need it than to need it and not have one. It’s obvious that you are anti 2A and against guns. I can see why you have so few followers!
💯I had a clean record and even had a good cause. I was denied by L.A. County and had a major incident afterward. No one was there except me to stop the imminent threat. Police don't have the duty to protect you, so you're basically on your own. Your money is better spent on training, and a right doesn't require permission.
This guy has no real world experience and obviously thinks the law knows what's best for us!
Ahhh Commiefornia
with all this anti guy stuff.
why is it possible to go out and buy a car with cash and just drive away. they then can park said car in-front of a bar, liquor store. and get drunk or back into said car and get drunk then drive away .
all with in one hr. far more people are killed by a drunk driver each year then all ways by someone with a gun.
There is no such thing as an "assault rifle". AR stands for Armalite, the company that originally designed the M15/AR15. Get it straight FFS...
Public lands encompass sidewalks and streets so you can't carry it anywhere...got it.
Do you Sir give a damn about the Constitution of the United States? As a "lawyer" do you care? It's interesting that it wasn't really prominently talked about. It is the law of the land. The law is keep & bear Arms & shall not be infringed. So there is no stipulation regarding mental illness or prior criminal conviction. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. So all the little laws you are describing are all unconstitutional. This is not the movie Minority Report. You cannot "prevent" crime. The spirit of the law is to punish those that infring upon the rights of others.
Permitless carry as you stated would be changing. Now 25 states have Constitutional carry not 21 as stated in your video from 4 months ago. More & more the Constitution will be uphled & followed instead of being ignored by tyrants.
You also misspoke about purchasing a fire arm & then going through a background check. You cannot "purchase" a fire arm without a background check. You can place a deposit while the background check is being done. But the unconstitutional law of having to get a background check 8n order to own a gun prevents purchase before the check is complete.
Just that alone puts into question your capabilities as a lawyer let alone the ignoring of the Constitution.
He didn't make the California gun laws, he's just explaining the various California penal codes covering firearms and offering advice and guidance on how not to go to jail because of those laws. I am retired law enforcement and used to issue CCW permits. I too didn't't agree with the laws and feel the Second Amendment states "keep and bare arms" and "shall not infringe" means exactly that. A right to carry built right into the Bill of Rights. But with that said I wouldn't advise someone to break our current unconstitutional laws, as they'll end up in jail or prison and placed on a restricted list,, leaving a person arguing the injustice of it all with an assigned cell mate.

Respectfully, this is the kind of attitude that has put this nation on the brink of being lost.
He didn't make the laws, he's just explaining.
Every single lawyer that has to defend someone being charged with an unconstitutional law should be working to get the law over turned. But they are not. The people we need to stand up are not standing up.
You are retired law enforcement? So you are a former judge? The moment a law is enforced is when a judge issues a sentence on a person convicted of breaking the law.
Officers are not supposed be judge, jury & executioner of sentences. Officers take an oath to Support & Defend the Constitution of the United States, and Support & Defend the community they are being paid to work in.
How can an officer, tasked by the state, to seek out people that are supposedly breaking this law or that law & issuing fines supposed to support & defend?
They are not. That's why we repeatedly see officers out of control, violating the rights of the citizens they swore to serve.
Putting officers in the position of "law enforcement" directly pits them against the citizens they are to support & defend.
I have deep respect for anyone that puts their life on the line for me & my fellow citizens. I have deep disrespect for people willing to be brown shirts for the Bureaucratic state.
It isn't supposed to be this way. I shouldn't be paying my hard earned tax money to have someone stop me on the street to take more money because they believe I did something wrong. Officers, true officers, that want to help their community shouldn't want to do that. Officers should group together & fight for change in support of the community, instead they join the state union. It's a travesty & our nation is about to be lost because of it.
Citizens have no where to turn when the citizens that swore to support them side with the state.
@@usarespnsblty You said //Respectfully, this is the kind of attitude that has put this nation on the brink of being lost. He didn't make the laws, he's just explaining. Every single lawyer that has to defend someone being charged with an unconstitutional law should be working to get the law over turned. But they are not. The people we need to stand up are not standing up.// What the heck do you think he's doing making these videos informing us of the latest attempts to get our firearms and what's being done to combat it. And then you blame William Kirk like he's not doing anything and it's his fault because he's an attorney? You are so off the mark there. Not only does he keep us informed on the latest laws but also what pro gun organizations and law firm are fighting it and how one can get involved and help fund the fight. Do you know what overhead a law firm has with monthly rent, utilities, employee salaries, workman comp etc? You think William Kirk should just be fighting all the legal attacks on our firearm rights for free? Just work to keep your gun rights safe and give up on keeping his home lights on, feeding his family or putting gas in his car because you think he's obligated as an attorney too! Well the world doesn't work that way. You fund them and they'll be glad to fight all the unconstitutional laws being proposed by the other side. William Kirk is a gun owner too you know, his Constitutional rights are as much in jeopardy as the rest of us. That's why we all pull together and fund our gun organizations and legal teams representing these court battles and he's making these videos that get you all upset and angry at him. Don't shoot the messenger. If you want to know who can help, look at the man in the mirror and help fund the pro gun pro Constitution movement in America. In the meantime don't shoot the messenger. And the rest of the stuff you went into about law enforcement, well you drew a large net over various issues that I'm too tired to type a response too. But trust me when I tell you that some things you are right on and some you were way off the mark.
