California regulates concealed carry weapons licenses statewide under Penal Code 26150 through 26225. Senate Bill 2 (2023) imposes uniform sensitive-place restrictions and applicant standards, preempting local variations on issuance criteria and qualifications.
Penal Code Sections 26150 (residents) and 26155 (city residents) authorize sheriffs and chiefs to issue CCW licenses under uniform statewide standards. SB 2 (effective January 2024) created a statewide list of sensitive places where carry is prohibited, including schools, hospitals, government buildings, parks, and public transit. Applicants must complete state-mandated training, pass background checks, and demonstrate good moral character. Localities cannot lower or raise statutory qualifications or expand carry rights beyond what state law allows. Issuing authorities must follow the same procedural rules statewide.
Carrying concealed without a valid CCW or in a designated sensitive place is a misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances under Penal Code 25400.
