From this morning’s Daily Breeze<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Torrance man has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city for its long-standing policy of not issuing concealed weapons permits.<\/p>\n

\nAlso named in the suit were Torrance Police Chief John Neu and all seven members of the City Council.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

they go on:<\/p>\n

…when he applied for a permit in Torrance, he was issued an application form, but at the same time received a letter from the Police Department stating that “we do not have records on the issuance of any such permits, since it has been the long-standing practice of our chiefs of police not to issue such permits to citizens.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

TG and I haven’t applied for a CCW because we’re aware that the city flatly doesn’t grant them. No city in urban California does; they all have similar policies – they’ll take the application, but they make it clear that they will not be issuing any such permit.<\/p>\n

I think that’s a bad policy for a variety of reasons; I’ll note with amusement the legal precedent that no city has an affirmative duty to protect its citizens<\/a>. Nor, apparently, do they have a duty to allow them to protect themselves.<\/p>\n
