The is what happens when you have an actual Second Amendment that the state of California has denied for many years. The fight for CCW is advancing no thanks in part to elitist Sheriffs and politicians. This is good news for the law abiding public in California.
On September 3, 2010, attorneys from the law firm of Michel & Associates, PC filed a motion for partial summary judgment in a case filed in the United Stated District Court for the Southern District challenging the CCW issuance policies and practices of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. Specifically, the suit asserts that self-defense constitutes “good cause” for the purposes of Cal. Pen. Code section 12050, and that the requirement that an applicant demonstrate documentary evidence of some specific threat is an unconstitutional restriction on the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment.
The motion also asserts violations of the Equal Protection Clause, based on allegations that the Sheriff issues CCWs to politically connected people more readily than to the general public.
