With President Barack Obama using executive powers to enact new gun control initiatives, we want to know where Glendora residents stand.
The gun debate is one that has gone on for centuries, since the second amendment of the constitution was established. The Supreme Court has addressed it a number of times, yet many states still differ on restrictions, California having some of the most strict gun laws among them.
According to the second amendment, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.
As of now in California, state laws control the purchase requirements of firearms but each county has different restrictions on concealed carry permits of those firearms. Permits to carry concealed weapons, known as CCW’s are on the rise in many counties in California, especially since the terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
San Bernardino and Orange counties have actively increased the number of CCW’s their Sheriff’s Departments approve. Los Angeles County however, has almost impossible restrictions for residents to obtain a permit.
