The Civil Rights Division of President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit Tuesday over the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s delays in issuing concealed carry weapons (CCW) permits to applicants. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division explained:On March 27, 2025, the Division initiated the first-of-its-kind Second Amendment investigation due to numerous complaints of unreasonable delays in CCW permitting decisions by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it. In short, the law-abiding population is reliant on government permission–via a CCW permit–in order to use a firearm to exercise their Second Amendment right to self-defense.
