Bill overview
This bill significantly changes California’s laws regarding firearm licenses. It expands the criteria for denying licenses, prohibiting applicants with certain criminal convictions (including contempt of court and specific felonies), requiring additional background checks, and mandating specific training requirements. The bill also adjusts rules for carrying firearms in public transportation, clarifies residency requirements for non-California residents seeking licenses, and modifies the process for purchasing multiple firearms within a 30-day period. Finally, it addresses the notice period for license renewals and clarifies the application process for non-California residents.
