The Los Angeles Police Department has moved to cancel most of the few remaining concealed weapons permits in civilian hands, according to new filings in a decades-old legal case.
Chief Michel Moore said in a sworn declaration he did not believe a group of people who obtained so-called CCWs as the result of a 1994 lawsuit were still entitled to the permits, because it was unlikely the individuals still faced extraordinary physical danger to their lives.
"I do not believe the continued wholesale allowance for each to possess a CCW license based on circumstances that may have existed 24 years ago is in the best interest of the public," Moore said.

Additionally, Moore said the crime rate is down and there are more police officers on the streets, so the level of danger to an average person has been reduced.
"Technology has improved tremendously in the last 24 years which has enabled individuals to instantly communicate with law enforcement via cellphones from anywhere and at any time should they feel threatened," Moore said.

The national average 911 law enforcement response time in 2018 was 11.11 minutes, last I’d heard.
Yeah, Compton and south central be down wi’ dat, yo!
It may come to that.
Gang members are EXEMPT from these silly laws.
So this is how the Dems will confiscate - a state at a time
Only cops and criminals should be allowed to own guns.
Carry it anyway - better to be judged than dead.
11.11 minutes. So that means maybe 2-3 minutes out to 18-19 minutes. Even 2-3 minutes is a long time when someone is holding a knife, baseball bat, or gun on you. Imagine 18-19 minutes! They could kill you, you might bleed out, and they have 10-15 or more minutes to drive away before the police arrive.
What rarely comes up in these discussions is that our founding fathers wrote the second amendment for the sole purpose of protecting this nation against people like chief Moore.
There is no mention in the Constitution of bears, robbers, indians or deer hunters. Instead the Constitution deals with the problem of maintaining our freedom.
That might work if only we could be guaranteed that neither the police or criminals will target us.
Lawsuits will do nothing.
Rule-of-Law has been absent from California for quite some time now. Even the "Pretense-of-Law" is wearing mighty thin. "Law" is whatever the Democrat overlords say that it is - and they can change their minds at any time. Votes do not count for much either.
This sort of thing ends badly for all the participants.
Yes sir, that's what Common Sense gun control is all about.
Average LE response time in my area: 60 - 90 minutes.
Average excavator response time: 20 - 30 minutes.
The old saying: When seconds count the police are only minutes away hold true here.
This dumb azz top-cop bureaucrat apparently believes that the bad guy is going to let you dial 911 from your cell phone, get put on hold for 5 minutes, declare your location and nature of your problem, and then wait an “average” of 11.11 minutes for his boys in blue to show up? How does someone so stupid get to be a police chief?
Concerning guns, Dr Quincy said about one GUN that escaped it’s owner and went on a killing spree...”WE’VE GOT TO STOP “IT” BEFORE “IT” KILLS AGAIN!
Because SOOOOOOOOOO many legal concealed weapons permit holders commit crimes. Right?
Stinking lefties and their anti-freedom agendas.
Aah...youth....
Youth? I’m almost 64. As I said, I remember when that show was on, I just never watched it.
Quit complaining and just buy yourself a bullet proof vest to wear everywhere. It might look a little out of place when you’re roller skating at Venice Beach, though...
