California Must Accept CCW Applications From Non-residents

Hoffman v. Bonta (S.D.Cal. 2025) grants summary judgment requiring California accept CCW applications from non-residents.  It allows for the possibility of applying stricter standards for non-residents, but there are obviously limits on this for risk of violating the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment.   

California's CCW scheme is not cheap; California does not want poor people,  who are most at risk of violence, to fight back).  If you regularly travel there,  you might want to apply in Modoc or Shasta County which have historically issued readily.

  1. Fresno County is essentially a shall issue jurisdiction as well.
