INTRODUCED BY   Senator La Malfa

                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

   An act to add Sections 26975 and 27652 to the Penal Code, relating
to firearms.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1567, as introduced, La Malfa. Firearms: waiting period:
exemptions.
   Existing law prohibits a dealer from delivering a firearm to a
person within 10-days of an application to purchase, within 10 days
of the submission to the Department of Justice of any correction to
the application, or within 10-days of the submission to the
department of a firearm purchaser fee, whichever is later. Existing
law provides that this 10-day waiting period does not apply to the
sale, delivery, or transfer of firearms to a full-time paid peace
officer who is authorized to carry firearms while in the performance
of duties, or to a dealer who delivers a firearm, other than a
handgun, at an auction or similar event, among other exceptions.
   Existing law generally prohibits the carrying of concealed
firearms without a license. Existing law permits a sheriff or head of
a municipal police department to issue a license to a person who
submits an application to carry a concealed firearm upon proof that
the applicant is of a good moral character, that good cause exists
for the issuance of the license, and certain residency requirements
are met.
   This bill would provide that the 10-day waiting period does not
apply to the sale, delivery, or transfer of firearms to any person
who is authorized to carry a weapon in a concealed manner pursuant to
the above provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
