Massive CRPA Litigation Recap: What Californians Must Know

This year brought some of the most significant Second Amendment litigation California has ever seen — and CRPA was at the center of it all. From striking down unconstitutional youth-advertising bans, to fighting abusive CCW fees, to pushing major cases like Duncan, Rhode, May, Richards, and more toward decisive 2026 outcomes, CRPA’s legal battles are reshaping the future of gun rights in California.

In this end-of-year recap, CRPA President Chuck Michel walks through the major lawsuits filed in 2025, the victories already secured, and the cases now heading toward critical decisions in 2026. With multiple challenges in federal district court, the Ninth Circuit, and even the U.S. Supreme Court, the coming year may bring some of the most important 2A rulings in decades.
