California is not very restrictive on places one can carry with LTC. These are the known places LTC does not protect possession; if a place is not listed here, you are allowed to carry in that place. Please read the whole thread - updates may be in the following posts before they are merged into this one. Citations in RED reflect new PC numbering. The legacy reference is in black.
California LTC are state licenses, issued by Sheriffs and some police chiefs. The concealed versions (almost all of them) are valid, in general, throughout the state. The open-carry versions (almost none are issued) are valid only in the county where issued. Assuming there are no other restrictions printed on one's permit (you are bound by those, but those are not 'general' for all LTC holders), and the guns carried are listed etc. one may carry everywhere EXCEPT: Federal law/regulation:
State law/regulation:
*39 CFR 232.1 "(l) Weapons and explosives. No person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes." *Some local ordinances may prohibit LTC in non-sterile areas of an airport *171b(b)(3) is the general exemption for carry permit holders in state courthouses; however one must not be "a party to an action pending before the court." Private Property California has no legal support for signs on private property. There are no requirements for content or placement of such signs, and no penalty for ignoring such a sign. LTC holders should consider ordinary courtesy to the property owner if such a sign is observed; if asked by management to leave private property, for whatever reason offered, LTC holders should courteously comply . Indian Casinos, per the 1999 'Compact' at 10.6. (h/t to member dustoff31, Feb 2, 2014) appear to be a special case of 'private property'. The Compact is an agreement between the Tribe and the State. While there is no direct penalty for LTC carrying in a casino, the casino is highly motivated to prevent carrying. School Zones and School Campuses/Property Because of SB707, the on-campus exemptions for CCW holders are removed from the Penal Code effective Jan 1, 2016. CCW holders and their listed handguns have always been exempt from the 1000 foot rule, and remain exempt. Also, ammunition brought onto campuses, where permitted as during transport, must also be locked up. Alcohol and places that sell/serve While not a 'place' per se, California law is silent regarding LTC and alcohol. Some issuing agencies impose restrictions; LTC holders, as always, are bound by restrictions on their licenses. A recent case in Sacramento had a carrier convicted for carrying while drinking; that strongly suggests that one's license is invalid while consuming alcohol.

Under Federal, I'd add the Social Security Administration offices
Under State, although it may vary by county, I'd add schools and Family Law Courts (you need not be a litigant)

Schools - 12050 licenses are exempt from 626.9 and the Fed equivalent. I'm wanting to stay at the state/fed level, individual counties muddy the water and seem to add to the ever growing pile of FUD. If it's not applicable to all CA CCW then let's ignore it for the purposes of this thread.

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930 Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
so actually any Federal building, with the exception being: (3) the lawful carrying of firearms or other dangerous weapons in a Federal facility incident to hunting or other lawful purposes. I realize that there can be different takes on this, I just saying how it is enforced http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18...0----000-.html

I'm saying it's a point that hasn't been settled in court yet. The guards will converge and ask you to leave...to my knowledge, not one has legally challenged the point yet.
Isn't this the same section that the Post Office bans under? Do they have a more specific section?

The post office has a different reg. BOTH the PO and the general Fed building regs require posting.
Also, you have to differentiate between places it is illegal to carry, and privately owned places that have been posted. At the latter, you aren't breaking a law unless you refuse to leave. However, it can adversely affect your permit if your issuing CLEO is notified and finds it a bad move on your part.

See here in the FAQ: Where/when are some places/times that I CAN NOT HAVE A FIREARM?
That summary isn't meant to be exhaustive and may assume no CCW permit, but you may find something you weren't aware of. |

Polling place is perfectly fine to CCW at.
Take the "iffy" ones out of the where can I carry list. You can carry there. Realistically, you can carry anywhere there is not a metal detector and you won't risk going to jail if you get "caught". Private businesses, and licensed private shows on public lands, have the right to ask you to leave, and have you arrested for trespassing ONLY if you don't leave. Again, not getting in trouble for CCW. If you want your list to be factual, you must remove these. A qualification can't be made of "you will lose your CCW even if you don't go to jail for it" since that is not a law, it is always the discretion of the issuing agency. You can remove prisons, jails, game refuges. The metal detector rule applies to the first two, the game refuge one simply isn't true. You can enter the lobby / holding area at a jail, without going through a metal detector. The masked identity one, pc12040, would be an interesting one to appeal all the way up. If they claim to include wearing a motorcycle helmet, or being masked on Halloween, then the RKBA implications are huge. I'm certainly not disarming next time I hop on a bike. Found your other thread on this in 2a. I'm certainly not wearing a mask to disguise my identity on a motorcycle, more to keep my skull in one piece. Post offices, ugh. I'm of the kind to believe that my govt issued license is an official purpose of carrying a weapon for my stated self defense. This works on most of the federal regulations as well, it simply has to be fought in the courts by a non-criminal. I'm sure we will see these change at some point. Federal facilities, edit that to read POSTED PROHIBITED federal facilities staffed by federal employees.

Elections Code appears to disagree with you. Why is it OK to ignore this code?
(a) Any person in possession of a firearm or any uniformed peace officer, private guard, or security personnel or any person who is wearing a uniform of a peace officer, guard, or security personnel, who is stationed in the immediate vicinity of, or posted at, a polling place without written authorization of the appropriate city or county elections official is punishable by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months or two or three years or in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both the fine and imprisonment. (b) This section shall not apply to any of the following: (1) An unarmed uniformed guard or security personnel who is at the polling place to cast his or her vote. (2) A peace officer who is conducting official business in the course of his or her public employment or who is at the polling place to cast his or her vote. (3) A private guard or security personnel hired or arranged for by a city or county elections official. (4) A private guard or security personnel hired or arranged for by the owner or manager of the facility or property in which the polling place is located if the guard or security personnel is not hired or arranged solely for the day on which an election is held.

==snip== * At any government-related meeting that is required to be open to the public. (171b PC) Wonder if this could be construed to include Chamber of Commerce mixers, or similarly created functions created by the private sector but are heavily attended by elected officials. |

Here's a question of interest to those of us in Sacramento. Is it OK to CCW in the Sheriff's Office building? The County Jail is next door, but I am not aware of any restriction on carrying in the SO itself. Would be of interest when time for renewals or amendment of permits. I went down last week for an amendment and there is no posting for/against. Any opinion?

Added wildlife refuges to the list unless/until someone points out a 12050 exemption.

626.9(L) contains the exemption for 12050 license holders. CCW is exempt from Gun Free Zone laws.

I think he means the restriction the SSD was putting on permits. As you found out first hand last September (IIRC), the SSD did away with that requirement and sent out a letter to all permit holders in October notifying existing permit holders that the 1,000' school restriction was no longer in effect.

CA CCW holders are exempt from state and federal gun free school zone laws. You are good to go as long as you are otherwise carrying legally.

Not something to rely upon in general: See link to .pdf of the order.

That's the order that was reversed and remanded on Jan 4, 2010, unfortunately. Quote:
It's case 09mj00319 at http://www.nmcourt.fed.us/web/DCDOCS/dcindex.html, and the remand is the last doc for the case.

Government buildings are covered in PC 171b and there is an exemption for 12050 license holders (CCW) Places where are legislators live/work are also exempt for CCW. Ditto for the state capital area and even the governor's house. All of the restrictions/exemptions are shortly after 171b. I don't have time to look up the specific sections at the moment. |
