SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California lawmaker will make another attempt to shore up the state’s concealed carry gun laws following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down key provisions.
Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-Burbank, introduced his bill on Dec. 5, the first day of the new legislative session, after his last concealed carry measure narrowly failed in the Assembly during the final hours of the last lawmaking term.
Portantino told The Sacramento Bee that Senate Bill 2 in its current form is a “spot bill,” or placeholder measure that will be amended with more specific language in the future. He said he remains committed to getting it passed.
