times and dates for hearings are subject to change, by the legislature, with
little or no advance notice. The
NRA Members' Councils of

(This is a partial list. Complete list is
found at http://www.calnra.com/legs.shtml)
AB
357 (Knight)
CONCEALED FIREARMS LICENSE
This bill would create a "shall
issue" CCW permit system in California. Existing law authorizes
the sheriff of a county, upon proof that the person applying is
of good moral character, that good cause exists, and that the
person applying satisfies any one of certain conditions, as
specified, to issue a license for the person to carry a
concealed handgun, as specified. This bill would delete the good
cause requirement, and require the sheriff to issue the license
if the other criteria described above are met.

on Tuesday, April 21st -- SUPPORT
