The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department has settled a DOJ lawsuit and agreed to speed up concealed carry permit approvals, which previously averaged about nine months.
LASD says it built a dedicated 16-person Carry Conceal Unit, automated the paper application process, and now publishes wait-time statistics online.
DOJ officials, including Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, framed the settlement as a major Second Amendment victory tied to the 2022 Bruen ruling, alongside a separate concession this month allowing gun carry in post offices.
