SB 2 briefly went into effect, but as of 01/06/2024, it has been stayed, meaning that until the federal courts rule otherwise, the SB 2 restrictions are not in effect. This was part of the usual California and Ninth Circuit games that for a few days left legal concealed carriers in legal limbo. As of this writing, the excessive SB 2 restrictions do not apply.
SB 2 essentially bans LTC permittees from legal concealed carry anywhere in the state except for some streets and sidewalks; seriously, this is no exaggeration. The law was intended as a spiteful Bruen revenge bill. The Ninth Circuit Court of appeals, the most liberal federal appeals court in the nation, first granted an injunction against the law, then on December 30th, stayed the injunction, meaning SB 2 went into effect Jan. 1, 2024. Essentially concealed carry became illegal in California, permit or not, anywhere anyone would realistically go. The injunction against the stay was an abuse of the emergency order procedures but was reversed to allow the stay (placing SB 2 on hold) as of 01/06/2024.
SB 2 is tyrannical, utterly unconstitutional, and both California and the Ninth Circuit have disregarded clear precedent set in the Bruen case. California's and the Ninth Circuit's actions are illegitimate, despotic, and a disgusting affront to our constitution. In regard to gun laws, particularly daily self-defense carry, California's law should hold no weight in the minds of peaceable, armed citizens. While the US Supreme Court will probably eventually smash these laws back to the stone age, the reality is it's technically illegal to carry pretty much everywhere.
