Today, the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit in the Federal Central District of California Court against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna due to multiple delays in issuing concealed carry permits.
This lawsuit is the first affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners filed by the U.S. Department of Justice. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division initiated an investigation into the LASD in March of 2025 due to multiple complaints filed with the Division regarding what citizens perceived as unreasonable delays in the Department’s decisions on concealed carry permit applications. Some of the delays lasted over two years.
“The Second Amendment protects the fundamental constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it. This Department of Justice will continue to fight for the Second Amendment.”
