DOJ sues LA sheriff for not giving out concealed carry licenses quickly enough​

The Justice Department says the sheriff's office violated the Constitution.


LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Department of Justice sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, alleging it violated the Constitution by moving too slowly to process gun licenses for people who want to carry concealed weapons.

The sheriff's department's “unreasonable delays" in granting licenses violates California residents' Second Amendment right to bear arms outside the home, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division said in a complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court.

“The Second Amendment protects the fundamental constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it.

A spokesperson for the sheriff's department disputed the claim, saying they have processed all concealed carry weapons applications in compliance with state and local laws.

I'm sure the "spokesperson for the sheriffs dept." would dispute that claim even if it's a true claim
It's just the way they roll in Kaulifornia. It's just as tough to get a building permit after the fires in LA.

The majority of states in the nation are now constitutional carry. California, like other blue states, are still stuck in the Jim Crow era, where often corrupt local cops decide who can and can't have their civil rights. California needs to modernize, leave their plantation culture behind, and drag themselves into the 21st century.

LA County had always opposed CCWs. It even refused the Chief the LAPD hired away from Philadelphia one back a couple of decades ago. He couldn't carry until he passed a California POST course. The rich and powerful could get CCW permits as could their security personnel, but not the common citizens.

LASO has never been happy about issuing CCW permits to normal citizens. The rich and connected could get them for themselves and their employees.
