Blackwater 53393 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 NEWS & RELEASES SAF MEMBERS ELIGIBLE FOR CA NON-RESIDENT CARRY PERMITS BELLEVUE, Wash. — Jan. 24, 2025 — A district court has ruled that members of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) nationwide can soon apply for a non-resident carry permit in California. The United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a preliminary injunction in CRPA v. LASD, SAF’s legal challenge to the refusal of California officials to allow non-resident carry permits in the state. “The judge ruled that as a SAF member your right to carry a firearm for self-defense doesn’t stop at the California border just because you are a resident of another state,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “This is just one more benefit of being a SAF member.” The injunction requires California to accept permit applications from any United States resident outside the state who is a member of SAF or its partner organizations and not prohibited from possessing firearms. While the ruling was handed down Jan. 23, the order will go into effect in 90 days. SAF is joined in the case by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California, and several private citizens. The original complaint was filed in December, 2023, and followed by a motion for preliminary injunction shortly thereafter in January, 2024. “It’s common sense that your fundamental right to bear arms does not evaporate when you leave your home state,” said SAF Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “We’re committed to dragging states like California kicking and screaming into alignment with the demands of the Constitution, and now, peaceable SAF members can exercise their right to bear arms in California.” *courtesy SAF* 3 1 Quote

John Kloehr Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) I'll first note this is a preliminary injunction, and it took just over a year to get to this point. The actual trial on the merits is in the future. Here is the ruling: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.907347/gov.uscourts.cacd.907347.81.0_1.pdf Next I note the many steps, apply to and attest to intending to visit that county in the next year, apply for up to three guns, each gun must be California compliant in all aspects, permit evaluated for each gun, class training requirement, live fire requirement, an interview, possible psychological evaluation, and more. Edited January 26 by John Kloehr Injunction Otto, injunction! There is no legal induction... Geez 2 Quote
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 And must be a member of one of the named orginizations. Think CA has 6 mo to implement and the permit has a training with live fire component. When the time comes I will get one. 1 Quote

The state will probably argue the injunction only applies to members at the time of the ruling, not to those who join today. Edited January 31 by John Kloehr 1 Quote
