looked into it but high standard to get a license in LA
LAPD CARRY CONCEALED WEAPON LICENSE POLICY
Pursuant to California Penal Code section 26170, in the City of Los Angeles, the Chief
of Police of the Los Angeles Police Department ("LAPD" or "Department") may issue a license
to a person to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the
person upon proof that the person applying for the license is of good moral character, that good
cause exists for the issuance of the license, that the person is a resident of the City of Los
Angeles, and that the person has completed a required course of training.
GOOD CAUSE: The policy LAPD has adopted is that good cause exists if there is convincing
evidence of a clear and present danger to life or of great bodily injury to the applicant, his (or
her) spouse, or dependent child, which cannot be adequately dealt with by existing law
enforcement resources, and which danger cannot be reasonably avoided by alternative measures,
and which danger would be significantly mitigated by the applicant's carrying of a concealed
firearm.
