CALIFORNIA'S "FUCK YOU CCW HOLDER" BILL

By Bob Walsh


A handgun seized during sweeps is shown on display at a news conference on May 17, 2013 at the Los Angeles Civic Center in Los Angeles, Calif.


The formerly great state of California is leaping on the "fuck your CCW" band wagon with SB 918,

This bill, assuming it will be passed into law (which is virtually certain) creates a ton of "sensitive areas" where you will not be able to carry a gun based on a CCW permit.  

Among these "sensitive areas" are schools and their immediate vicinity, community colleges, universities, government buildings, judicial buildings, anything that could be remotely called a medical facility, any sort of public transportation, any place where alcohol is both sold and consumed, playgrounds, any gathering which requires a permit and any open to the public facility (store) unless it is specifically posted as permitting gun carry.

The bill would also enact certain "safe storage" requirements, significantly increase the cost of a gun permit, and allow (though not mandate) a psych eval.  These evaluations could only be done by specific professionals with a max cost of $200.  It is expected that there would be a LONG wait for these evaluations as most counties will have only ONE listed phsrink permitted to do them.

This bill will almost certainly be challenged immediately upon passage.  How long it will take to get this bullshit stopped, and how much money it will cost, is unknown.
