This should be interesting.... I just received the following in an email from CalGuns Foundation. The law firms of Gura and Kilmer are taking the case of 3 California residents who were denied CCW because they did not have a "valid" reason. If this case is successful, it should open the door for CCW in California for self-defense reasons.
Sorry for not posting the links properly, i haven't figured out how to do that, but just copy and paste and it should work.
