California CCW: What is “Good Cause”?

William Desy — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 02:13:22 +0000

California is currently NOT a “Shall Issue” or “Right to Carry” State. An applicant must establish “Good Cause” to support his or her request for a California Concealed Weapon License. The mere fact that a license has been issued in the past does not, in itself, justify the renewal of a California Concealed Weapons License. Good Cause is subjective and may vary among several factors; degree or frequency of exposure to harm, employment, demographics and victimization, or risk to the applicant averted by granting a CCW License. In making a determination as to reasonable cause, the issuing authority will consider all available information, and where there exists a sufficient connection between the approval of a CCW License and the avoidance of victimization, make the decision most beneficial to public good and safety. The mere fear of victimization or the desire to carry a firearm is insufficient. The issuing authority will first rely on a set of objective standards, personal history, training, and professional evaluations of the applicant, and secondly on subjective factors such as;

•Specific evidence that there has been or is likely to be an attempt by another to do great bodily harm to the applicant.

•The nature of the business or occupation of the applicant is such that it subjects the applicant to high personal risk or criminal attack.

•Business or occupation of the applicant requires frequent transportation of large sums of money or other valuables and alternative protective measures or security cannot reasonably be employed.

•Business or occupation is of a high-risk nature and requires the applicant’s presence in a dangerous environment or area.

•The occupation or business of the applicant is such that no means of protection, security or risk avoidance, other than carrying a concealed firearm, is practical.

•Personal protection is warranted to mitigate a threat that the applicant is able to substantiate.
