Gun-Rights Group Sues California Over Non-Resident Carry Rights

[billdeserthills]

Visitors to the Golden State may have an avenue to lawfully carry a firearm during their trip if gun-rights advocates have their way.

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a new federal lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D.) on Thursday. The suit alleges that the state's residency requirement for gun carry permit applicants, along with its refusal to recognize the validity of permits issued by other states, acts as an unconstitutional total ban on the right to bear arms for non-residents.

"Individuals like Plaintiffs do not lose protection of their rights under the First Amendment's speech or religion clauses when they cross state lines," the complaint in Hoffman v. Bonta reads. "Nor do they lose their protections under the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. They likewise do not surrender their Second Amendment protected rights when they travel outside their home state."
