Concealed-carry gun bill dies in California Legislature, despite backing from Newsom, top Democrats
to strengthen the state’s concealed-carry law that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic leaders crafted in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that expanded a person’s right to carry firearms outside the home., fell just two votes shy of passage in the Assembly Tuesday evening. The Assembly agreed to hear the bill again Wednesday, the final day of the 2022 legislative session, through a process that’s called reconsideration.
“I’m legitimately surprised it didn’t pass,” Portantino said. He vowed to revive the measure in December, when lawmakers can start introducing legislation for the 2023-2024 session.Bonta said the supermajority vote threshold made passing SB 918 more difficult. But he defended the urgency to implement the legislation this year, arguing that those who pose a public safety risk need to be prevented from being issued a permit.
The proposal would have classified dozens of places in California as “sensitive,” including courts, hospitals, airports, public transportation, bars, public parks, libraries and churches. As a way to replace the former “good cause” mandate, SB 918 would have required local licensing officials, primarily sheriffs’ departments, to run through a list of criteria to ensure a person was a “qualified” applicant.
