California City Just Banned Concealed Carry Without Banning It

About this video

Colion analyzes San Jose’s new concealed carry permit fee structure, which he argues effectively prices out ordinary citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights. He reports that the city now charges $1,591 just to apply for a CCW permit, with total first-time costs exceeding $2,000 when including state fees, psychological exams, and training. Colion contends this creates a two-tiered system where only wealthy individuals can afford to carry for self-defense, while those most vulnerable to crime are locked out by cost barriers.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that San Jose’s CCW application fee is $1,591, with total first-time costs over $2,000, which he argues effectively denies the right to those who cannot afford it
• Colion points out that the renewal fee is only $25, suggesting the high initial fee is designed to deter applicants rather than cover administrative costs
• Colion notes that the CRPA and Second Amendment Foundation are suing Santa Clara County over similar fees, which he believes could provide legal remedy
