The department was found to unreasonably delay decisions on applications for CCW permits.
The Department of Justice announced the filing of a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department after investigating complaints of unreasonable delays in concealed carry weapons permitting. This is the first affirmative lawsuit defending the Second Amendment rights of citizens that has been filed by the Justice Department.
“The Second Amendment protects the fundamental constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it. This Department of Justice will continue to fight for the Second Amendment.”
“The Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. “This lawsuit seeks to stop Los Angeles County’s egregious pattern and practice of delaying law-abiding citizens from exercising their right to bear arms.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for Attorney General Bondi as she heads the Justice Department.
- For Assistant Attorney General Dhillon to be prudent in her endeavors to protects civil rights.
