CCW Permit Denial & Hearing Request Process

Under California Senate Bill 2 (SB2) and Penal Code § 26202, individuals who are denied a CCW permit have the right to request a hearing to contest the decision. If you wish to pursue this option, you must submit a "Request for Hearing of a Disqualified Person Determination" form within 30 days of receiving your denial notice.

Once submitted, the court will schedule a hearing where you can present evidence supporting your eligibility.
