The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna on Tuesday, accusing it of "systematically" delaying concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment.
The lawsuit, which the DOJ touts as its first-ever affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners, alleges the LASD created a "pattern and practice" of obstruction by forcing law-abiding citizens to wait months and even years for a decision.
The DOJ said in their complaint that, between January 2024 and March 2025, the sheriff’s office received 3,982 new applications for concealed carry permits and, as of May 8, approved only two. As of that date, two of the remaining applications were denied, 1,210 "were withdrawn for various reasons" and "approximately 2,768 applications for a new license to carry a concealed firearm remained pending."

Thanks, Procon!
Enjoy it while it lasts.
True.
True.
If someone does get a permit there the damn sure better have insurance because if they ever have to use their firearm they will get hammered by the local prosecutors.
This is a big deal.
The courts and the Trump administration are cementing the notion that denying rights protected by the Second Amendment are a fruitful source of lawsuits targeting denial of civil rights under federal law. This is a major step in confirming that fact.
Big, big deal.
Good news!
About time. Keep it up!
awesome
Let’s see some suits under 18USC240.
I wouldn’t mind a few prosecutions under 18USC242.

Good point. Glad to see it!
I have been saying for years here at FR that the primary job of BATF should be enforcing the second admendment. Not restricting it.
