The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for possible Second Amendment violations.
The DOJ posted that it is looking at a potential "pattern or practice" of the department purposely, "depriving ordinary, law-abiding Californians of their Second Amendment rights."
The Department pointed to a recent federal lawsuit where the court found the facts and the law went against the county for imposing delays of up to 18 months to process concealed handgun applications. The DOJ Civil Rights Division said it has reason to believe other LA county residents have been similarly affected by what the government said amounts to denial of Second Amendment rights.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the overriding issue in cases like these is clear: “The Second Amendment is not a second-class right, and under my watch, the Department will actively enforce the Second Amendment just like it actively enforces other fundamental constitutional rights.”

Put them under a consent decree. That’s what Democrats do when they want to force compliance. Give them two weeks to process an application with heavy fines for unreasonable delays.
Took my son 6-8 months in Virginia and he had top secret clearance. If he wanted an update on the status of his application, he’d have to go to the courthouse and wait in line. He was told not to waste his time trying to get DC due to the hurdles but yet you can be illegal, use a gun and get released.
Oregon has 2 year holds and is pushing draconian new anti 2nd laws.
Same with Colorado.
I think the average wait period to get a CCW in neighboring Orange County is about two to five years. I was lucky enough to get one within four months.
