Not withstanding any pending litigation that might strike down any California law covered by this permit (IE: Miller v. Bonta), could the NYSRPA v. Bruen case that struck down the good cause requirement for CCWs apply for this license as well ? Currently, this license is the only way to get these types of firearms (Assault Weapon/.50 BMG, SBR/SBS, machine guns and destructive devices) in California.
The license along with the typical personal information and criminal history questions asks for employment history, business information, references, and the good cause statement
The application fee is rather expensive at $321 and other additional fees (live scan), plus a renewal fee ranging from $165 to $1500 depending on the number of firearms in inventory.
The license application:
List of 'good causes'
So until the courts strike down the bans on these types of infringements, I don't see how the good cause requirement for this license still is valid. Thereby allowing anyone who's willing to pay the fees and go though the process, to purchase these class of firearms in the meantime.
