District Court Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, a Joe Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction nullifying the California law preventing out-of-state residents from applying for a concealed carry permit. The judge could have mandated reciprocity with other states, but she stopped short of ordering that. The judge also ruled that the waiting time was too long and unconstitutional. Many people in the Golden State wait up to 18 months for a concealed carry permit. The State will have to cut the wait times substantially.

Judge Garnett chose not to issue an injunction against the exorbitant fees, the required psychological exam, and the discretionary denials. These issues will have to wait until the judge can rule on the merits of the case. California is expected to appeal the injunction to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and request a stay on the judge’s ruling.
