Introduction
Peruta v. County of San Diego (Docket Report) is a Second Amendment case challenging the concealed carry license issuing policies in San Diego County. This case was started when Ed Peruta applied for his conceal carry license and was subsequently denied. He wished to carry for defense of self and family.
Ed then started the internal appeals process with the license division for the sheriff’s office. He painstakingly exhausted all administrative options for appealing the denial of his concealed carry license. After which Ed hired an attorney and filed a civil rights case in federal court. Both the County of San Diego, and Sheriff Gore himself are defendants in this case. The lawsuit was later amended and added several other plaintiffs including the CRPA Foundation which helped strengthen the case for the general public.
This case has the potential to fix carry for San Diego County and like the Sykes v. McGinness case may even fix carry for all of California depending on what happens at trial. When we say "fix carry" we mean to say that when you apply for your CCW permit, the right of "self defense" is sufficient for "good cause" as it relates to California penal code 12050
The case will be argued in court around June 2011.

Intent
This suit seeks to do two things.
- Seeks to either find "good cause" as unconstitutional or establish "self defense" sufficient for the California's "Good Cause" requirement.
- Issue CCW licenses to all plaintiffs.
NOTE: County residency requirements were an issue early on in this case. However, an inspection of the undisputed facts in support of the partial MSJ filed on 9/3/2010 clearly shows that the residency requirement is no longer in dispute. This basically means that the County has ceded the challenge that Ed Peruta is a resident of San Diego County.
