What part of the Nordyke fallout might look like.
This is 15 pages but in double-spaced pleading paper format, so it isn't all THAT long.

I am not a Lawyer but, this looks very good to me. When do you plan to "Test" this case?

Just made a two-hour trip into California on other business. No interactions with cops . But just in case, now you know why the URL was easy to memorize.
I don't visit Kali that often (I'm now in Tucson) but when I do...this could come into play. NOTE AND WARNING: I used to be a California resident. My favorite carry gun was bought in Cali under the DROS system, therefore it's registered to me, therefore I'm only risking a misdemeanor. If you "illegally" pack a gun not registered to you in Cali, they could charge it as a felony. I strongly recommend NOT risking that. I also recommend not playing this game at all unless you understand the case law and principles behind it stone cold.

Jim,
Interesting motion and pretty good concepts. I just sent you an email with some suggestions and opinions.

I'd recommend running past a competant lawyer.
It couldn't hurt your chances. I don't know exactly how many laws you want to challenge, but wouldn't it be sensible to apply for an out of state CCW license? Yes, I know CA doesn't do this. It could be a way to challenge their CCW laws without violating any law (constitutional or not). |

I suspect we'll see some real oddities and uneven treatement with the laws in the next few years as new decisions change the landscape.

That's my point. Is it not illegal for California to discriminate based on residency within the US? If the 2nd Amendment is an incorporated, individual right, and CCW licenses are considered part of that (perhaps a risky assumption), how can CA deny someone the ability to carry simply because they don't live there.
(Can anyone summarize the case law for a state's ability to discriminate against non-residents, if I'm missing something?) |

The charge might eventually get reduced to a misdemeanor based on the gun having been DROSed previously, but that may well be years down the road. In the meantime, they will suck the life out of you with extensive legal expenses.

Have you tried submitting an application for a non-resident CCW and/or written the AG about it? I don't think courts take someone seriously who hasn't tried to comply with the law first.

As far as I am aware, Yellowfin, there isn't even a provision in the statutes that covers non-resident permits. The statutes say that you must apply for a permit in the city (and/or county) in which you spend a substantial amount of your time -- i.e. where your residence is located or your place of employment. But it makes no provision for a non-Californian to apply for a permit.
If such a process does exist, it's been kept well under wraps by those in charge. I'm aware of a Nevada resident who, for the last 5 years has held permits from six states which cover approximately 34 states where he's "properly licensed" to carry. Despite those "bona fides", California CLEOs tell him he can't obtain a permit unless he's a resident. Moreover, several officers were nice enough to tell him that his "good cause" had to be very "credible".
