Default CALGUNS FOUNDATION SUES LOS ANGELES COUNTY, SHERIFF LEE BACA (3/9/12)

San Carlos, CA (March 9, 2012) – Continuing its Carry License Sunshine and Compliance Initiative, The Calguns Foundation (CGF) has filed a lawsuit today in Los Angeles Superior Court against Los Angeles Sheriff Leroy “Lee” Baca, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and Los Angeles County. The case, entitled Jennifer Lu, et al. v. County of Los Angeles, et al., challenges the Sheriff’s ban on accepting and processing applications for carry licenses submitted by city residents.

The Calguns Foundation is joined in the lawsuit, by three individual plaintiffs.

“Sheriff Baca made the unfortunate decision to repeat historical failure,” noted CGF Chairman Gene Hoffman. “Apparently, the Sheriff and County do not feel bound to follow the precedent they set when the California Court of Appeals ruled against them in 1976. We look forward to refreshing their memory.”

In the case of Salute v. Pitchess, the Court held that “[i]t is the duty of the sheriff to make . . . an investigation and determination, on an individual basis, on every application” for a handgun carry license. Then-Los Angeles Sheriff Peter Pitchess had “a fixed policy of not granting applications . . . … except in a limited number of cases.”

California requires that people who desire to carry a handgun for self defense be licensed by the sheriff of the county in which they reside, or, at the applicants’ option, they can apply to their city’s chief of police. However, sheriffs cannot require applicants to first apply to and be denied by a city’s chief of police as a prerequisite to application.

“The State of California very intentionally established a standardized carry license framework: if you’re a sheriff, you have a duty to administer the carry license program for all residents of your county,” clarified Brandon Combs, an officer of CGF and director of the Carry License Initiative. “Sheriff Baca’s intent in enforcing these unlawful regulations is quite clear: make it as difficult as possible for law-abiding residents of Los Angeles County to defend their lives and those of their families. Not only does he treat some deserving applicants differently than others, he uses the rejections by cities’ chiefs of police - that his policy requires - as evidence against the applicants when they apply to him.”

“Jennifer Lu and the other plaintiffs have every reason to desire a handgun carry license, not the least of which is that it is their fundamental right under the Constitution as Federal courts in both West Virginia and Maryland ruled earlier this week,” said Jason Davis, attorney for the plaintiffs. “Sheriff Baca is circumventing state and constitutional law, and we’re confident that this case will bear that out.”

I’m fairly certain that the Orange County sheriff will dutifully process your application … and decline to issue a license due to your lack of sufficiently enhanced cause.

Too bad CalGuns can't REALLY sue Sheriff Baca. If he was really sued, he would face the personal financial imposition of defending his clearly errant behavior. As it is, the tax payers of the region will pay for his defense, meaning that he learns absolutely NOTHING from the experience.

I'm still confused. Aren't there 2 other cases already in L.A doing just this? What's the difference between the 3.

This case is to compel the Los Angeles Sheriff [Baca] to accept and process all carry license applications under Cal. Penal Code Sec. 26150 et seq. [made by residents of the county and by eligible business applicants].

It may also have the effect of prompting other sheriffs currently enforcing a similar policy to revise it, quickly.

I bet Sheriff Smith is rethinking her unfortunate policy of not accepting applications right now! So... when are we going to test her out? I think I sense some strategy here.

What's the estimated time frame for a ruling? 6 months, 1-2 years?...The wheels of justice move so slow

A good question. Importantly, we're going for an injunction on the enforcement of the challenged sections of the policy. We could see this case concluded within 60-90 days.

This just the start....LA County is a HUGE piece of meat that's on the chopping block. Piece by piece, we are gaining more and more momentum. Remember...freedom is not free.
