On Tuesday, March 17th at 8:30 AM, the Assembly Committee on Public Safety will hear Assembly Bill 1753 pertaining to gun violence restraining orders, and Assembly Bill 1948, extending the validity concealed carry permit. Additionally on Tuesday, the Senate Public Safety Committee will consider Senate Bill 948, adding significant training requirements as a prerequisite to exercise a constitutional right.

Assembly Bill 1753 would “clarify” California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) violation framework by explicitly subjecting ammunition possession to the same hearing and enforcement procedures currently applied to firearms. Red flag laws have repeatedly stripped law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights while undermining basic due process protections. Existing red flag laws in California should not be expanded under the guise of “clarification,” but repealed.
Assembly Bill 1948 would extend the valid term of California concealed carry permits by allowing new licenses to be valid for up to three years and renewal licenses to be valid for up to six years. This practical reform would reduce unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles for law-abiding permit holders who have already completed California's extensive background checks and training requirements, while also easing administrative burdens on local licensing authorities.

Senate Bill 948 would dramatically expand California’s Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) requirements by mandating a minimum eight-hour training course beginning in 2028, including live-fire exercises and state-prescribed classroom instruction. Criminal misuse of firearms is not the result of insufficient government mandates, yet this bill imposes additional regulatory burdens on law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to address crime.
The bill also imposes a new mandate on individuals moving into California, requiring lawful firearm owners to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate within 60 days and submit documentation to the Department of Justice, adding unnecessary complexity for individuals who have already demonstrated lawful ownership elsewhere.
