Default 2013 CA AB 871 - Jones - Concealed weapons

This bill would establish that personal protection is good cause for issuance of a license to carry concealed.

http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...arch_keywords=


Quote:
AB 871, as introduced, Jones. Concealed weapons.

Existing law authorizes the sheriff of a county or the chief or other head of a municipal police department of any city or city and county to issue a license to carry a concealed firearm to an applicant for that license if the applicant is of good moral character, good cause exists for issuance of the license, the applicant meets specified residency requirements, and the applicant has completed a specified course of training, including firearm safety.

This bill would require the sheriff or head of a municipal police department to issue that license if the applicant meets those requirements. The bill would also specify that good cause, for purposes of these provisions, includes personal protection or self-defense. Because the bill would impose new duties on local law enforcement officials who will be required to issue these licenses if all of the requirements are met, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

I bet an eCookie that this bill gets traded away in Committee in exchange for some of the other bills (e.g., SB-396, SB-374).

I can't imagine what would move the liberal majority to look twice at this bill.

We've all seen that "self-defense" as good cause simply won't cut it. We have to go after good moral character = non-prohibited and clarify that Sheriffs must accept applications and process them within a set period of time.

Otherwise you end up with Sacramento - "sorry guys - we simply aren't accepting applications but we'll let you know (maybe) some day when we decide to do so again".

Yep! Spit your chew on the sidewalk and lose your license. You no longer have good moral character.

This part can not be dodged!

Too ambitious. Efforts like these should be tabled in the same way as SB610 was... This will not make it out of the committee process.

The same idea has been introduced in bills just in the last few years. The ultra-gun-hating public safety committe always kills it.
It needs to intruduced every year, about ten times every year.

I applaud the effort, but I think he's taking the wrong approach.

I think he needs to Amend this into the assault rifle ban, which has some chance of passing!

Then, when the ban is struck down, this part can still stand unaffected by the SCOTUS ruling....

Wouldn't it be better to have them arguing and wasting time than have anything make it out of committee? The vast majority of laws passes are toxic so I vote for gridlock on new laws.


If something can be fixed or something good pushed through I am all for it, I just haven't seen many good new laws passed in my lifetime.

That's the part I have problems with. This vague definition takes the teeth right out of this bill.

I agree this bill has little chance to pass.

However, here is an example of a relatively 'pro-gun' bill, and Assemblyman Jones is not getting even a pat on the head for trying.

Such gestures (sadly, that's all this probably will be) don't take away from other efforts, and DO offer some evidence that the pro-gun side is willing to use the traditional forum.

I say THANK YOU, Brian W. Jones.

I'm going to write ASM Jones about striking the "good moral character" language, or at least substituting "not prohibited from posessing a firearm" or other such language in his bill.

Does "Good Moral Character" mean a hefty donation to Sherif Baca.

this bill would still only apply to counties with less than 200,000 people. Most if not all CA counties have over that population.

You have misread the bill - that is inaccurate.

The the first of the changes are thus
Quote:
26155.
(a) When a person applies for a license to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, the chief or other head of a municipal police department of any city or city and county may shall issue a license to that person upon proof of all of the following:
(1) The applicant is of good moral character.
(2) (A) Good cause exists for issuance of the license.
(B) For purposes of this subdivision, “good cause” includes, but is not limited to, personal protection or self-defense.

Red strikeout is deleted, blue is new, black is existing law.

Agreed. I rather see 100 of these types of bills, then 1 bill that is anti-gun. Wish we had more people like Assemblyman Jones.

NRA's reporting that this bill's going to be heard in committee on April 2:

California: Pro-Gun Bill to be Heard in Committee on April 2


Please contact members of the state Assembly Committee on Public Safety

On Tuesday, April 2, the state Assembly Committee on Public Safety will hear pro-gun Assembly Bill 871. AB 871, introduced by "A+" rated state Assemblyman Brian Jones (R-71), changes the definition of "good cause" for the issuance of Concealed Carry License (CCW) to include "Personal Protection or Self defense" creating a statewide standard for issuing of CCW permits.

It is imperative that you call members of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety and respectfully urge them to SUPPORT AB 871. The right to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense is a constitutional right and law-abiding citizens who apply to carry concealed should be allowed to exercise that right rather than it being a discretionary decision at the local level. Please forward this alert to your family, friends and fellow gun owners in California and urge them to do the same.

This kinda reminds me of a time a rep from Orange County introduced a bill to repeal SB-23. Zero chance of even making it out of committee but hey it's the thought that counts.

This would be a huge leap for California.

It is certainly a start, and I would love to see it. And even smaller step was attempted with another bill a little while back that sought to state that victims of hate crimes had a good cause, but that loss. I always thought that could open up some legal challenges against the good cause requirement...


Ideally, assuming that UOC remains banned and the Mulford Act remains, I would like two see a simple elimination of good cause, a change to the word shall, and a definition of moral character as someone who can pass a background check for possessing firearms. Eliminate the option of psych eval, except, possibly, under very narrow circumstances (as a bone thrown in to get passage), define maximum training requirement down from 16 hrs to 8 (or better 4), and eliminate college course option.

At least those things would need to be done to make CA effectively a shall issue state. But any step in that direction, even just symbolically, is good.
