On July 1, 2025, in the Southern District of California, Federal District Judge, the Hon. Cathy Ann Bencivengo ruled that the State of California must modify their law to allow non-residents to apply for concealed carry permits. The logic is clear. At the time of the founding, there was no requirement banning non-residents from carrying weapons for self-defense. Judge Bencivido stated:
The sole issue in this case is whether the Constitution requires California to allow nonresidents to apply for a concealed carry weapons (CCW) license. Plaintiffs, who are not California residents, complain that they are prohibited from carrying a firearm for self-defense when they visit California.
The State of California contended that bans on licenses for carry were common for non-residents. For example, from the Defendant’s brief:
Nineteenth century law further reflects this historical principle. In 1880, the City of Brooklyn promulgated a law providing that “[a]ny person twenty one years of age and over . . . who has occasion to carry a pistol for his protection, may apply to the officer in command of the station house of the precinct where he resides, and such officer, if satisfied that the applicant is a proper and law abiding person” shall recommend that the Commissioner of Police issue him a permit.
The time frame of the laws in question is much too late to be considered relevant. Judge Bencivido has issued an order granting partial summary judgment in part to the plaintiffs. From the order:
For the above reasons, the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to their facial challenge pursuant to the Second/Fourteenth Amendment and denies the request for relief pursuant to the Privileges and Immunities Clause.

Another dizzy skank, foreign “dipstick judge” from Mehico trying to take over America. This is treason. The Mexican invasion continues and our weaponized, so-called “judiciary” is a friggin circus.
Correct. Any requirement for a permit or a license to purchase, possess or carry a weapon is a clear infringement upon our second amendment rights.
Yes another District Judge believes her power in unlimited.
Umm, “non-resident” means U.S. citizens from other states.
A California district judge ruling about a California law? Insanity!
Also, for all commenters with reading comprehension issues, non-resident permits in the concealed carry world are for legal residents of other states.

Is "non-resident" just a weasel word for illegal aliens, or really any non-resident. Such as someone who lives somewhere else?
I understand it’s not easy to get concealed carry official permission in California, . . . .
= = =
And even then, you don’t want to shoot someone.
You don’t live in CaCaLand. Been here for 30+ years. You cannot get a CC permit unless a local sheriff does it. None will, unless you are rich or celebrity.
Yeah, there is a process, arsehole commie trash always go on about “a process”. But, imagine you are an Asian applying to Aaverd. Dream on.
You will leave the state before you get approval. And, the first time you might carry the gun will be confiscated by the first copper who is told you are doing so — and the “return” process will take forever.
99% of commercially available guns of any type are forbidden in CaCaLand — you can buy only off a list the gov’mt publishes. And, that list is NEVER updated to match SCOTUS rulings. NEVER.
Siskiyou County Sheriff issues to out-of-state applicants after jumping through some hoops.
“..., “non-resident” means U.S. citizens from other states.
I smell money in all of this.
Not sure this actually means much. It’s California. You can apply any time you want, but you can never leave.
Believe it or not, California is now a shall-issue state since the Supreme Court’s ruling on the NYSRPA v Bruen on June 23rd, 2022.
New York next, please.
Nonresident permits are not allowed.
Why are illegal lawbreakers allowed all Constitutional Rights as Citizens when they step accross the border?
