FAQ
Senate Bill 2 was signed into law by Gov. Newsom in September 2023 to ban concealed carry weapons from being carried in 26 types of public locations. It also requires that a person must be at least 21 years old, provide character references and go through a background check to apply for a concealed carry permit.
Concealed carry is only legal with a California Concealed Carry Weapons License (CCW). The minimum age is 18 years old, although a licensing authority has the discretion to require applicants to be older than 18 years of age.
However, U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) established that the Second Amendment applies to all states within the Union, and many of California's gun laws are now being challenged in the federal courts.
In 2024, California passed several bills strengthening and refining existing laws to facilitate better implementation, including improvements to the state's gun violence restraining order law, secure storage laws, and reporting on firearm dealer inspections.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
Forty-four states have a provision in their state constitutions similar to the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. The exceptions are California, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York.
Seek a Gubernatorial Pardon Pardon Process: A pardon is an official forgiveness for a crime, granted by the Governor of California. It restores certain rights, including the right to own and possess firearms. Eligibility: Typically, you need a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
A U.S. citizen or legal resident over age 18 may generally carry a handgun anywhere within his or her place of residence, place of business, or on private property owned or lawfully possessed by the citizen or legal resident. A permit or license is not required for a person to carry within these locations.
California does not honor any non-resident concealed firearm permits and they do not issue non-resident permits. Open and concealed carry is exempted in your home or your business, including camp sites or hotel room (temporary residence).
