The governor wrote, “All of the persons named in this bill can seek a gun violence restraining order today under existing law by simply working through law enforcement or the immediate family of the concerning individual. I think law enforcement professionals and those closest to a family member are best situated to make these especially consequential decisions.”
Brown approves another legislation to improve gun laws
On Wednesday, Brown signed into law AB 2103, another legislation to improve gun laws and public safety. The new law requires minimum training standards for applicants of concealed carry weapons permits (CCW).
Applicants for CCW permits need to complete at least eight hours of training plus a live-fire shooting exercise starting on January 1, 2019. They will only receive their CCW permits upon completion of the requirements.
In a statement, Assemblyman Todd Gloria, author of AB 2103, said the governor’s signature means “increasing public safety across California.” He emphasized that his legislation is “about common sense.”
