CalGuns & SAF win against Calif. waiting period

Posted by David Hardy · 25 August 2014 01:22 PM

Filed this morning, Silvester v. Harris (Eastern Dist. of Cal) looks like a solid win (after you go through all the pages detailing California's unbelievably complex answer to trying to prevent bad guys from buying guns). It finds the "cooling off" period rational for the 10 day mandatory waiting period to be unfounded, and basing the requirement on "we need the time for all the background checks" makes no sense when applied to (1) a person already permitted to own a firearm or (2) a CCW permit holder or (3) anyone whose background checks are completed in less than 10 days.

Reading between the lines, you can get a grasp of how much work went into this win. You don't base a winning record on "this is wrong, so let's sue and look for an obvious win."

Common sense and California law diverged when it was decided that anyone interested in purchasing a firearm had to wait 10 days before they could receive the weapon.

This ruling puts logic back into the equation. As soon as the background checks are completed you will be able to get your weapon.

This will help law-abiding citizens with the concealed carry permit who want to have a second (or third...) handgun to give them maximum flexibility in carrying.
