California: Expanded Gun-Free Zones for Concealed Carry Permit Holders Take Effect January 1, 2024AWR Hawkins 31 Dec 2023
Expanded gun-free zones for California concealed carry permit holders take effect in the state January 1, 2024.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a “sensitive places” bill into law on September 26, expanding the number of gun-free zones in which licensed concealed carriers could not carry firearms for self-defense, Breitbart News reported.
On December 20, U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney issued a preliminary injunction against California’s “sensitive places” law, noting that it is “openly defiant to the Supreme Court.”
In issuing the injunction, Carney focused on the interest of self-preservation, quoting from Heller (2008) to make his point:
Contrary to this interest, [California’s ‘sensitive places’ law] requires that law-abiding citizens open themselves up for slaughter at the hands of people flaunting the law and creates numerous areas ripe for mass murder by ensuring there is no one there to protect people before “the intervention of society in his behalf.”
