The DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna in September 2025, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleging the department displayed a \u201cpattern or practice\u201d of infringing Second Amendment rights through unreasonable delays in processing concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit applications. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon praised the department for addressing the issues and complying with the Supreme Court\u2019s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v.

\u201cThe Justice Department supports our law enforcement partners,\u201d Dhillon said. \u201cThe sheriff acknowledged the problem and devoted substantial additional resources, including new processing software and additional personnel, to cutting waiting times dramatically.

Pro-Second Amendment organizations and individual plaintiffs filed a similar suit in December 2023, accusing California jurisdictions of charging excessive fees and being dilatory in processing applications for carry permits. The Second Amendment Foundation, which backed the suit filed in December 2023, announced a settlement with California on August 6.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department is also challenging California\u2019s ban on Glock pistols in court, filing suit in July and seeking an injunction blocking the law, AB 1127, on July 29.<\/p>\n
