A: Under California law, you have the right to appeal the denial of your concealed carry permit application. In your appeal, you may want to present evidence demonstrating that you are not a danger to yourself or others, including medical evaluations or testimonials, emphasizing your extensive experience and unblemished record as a peace officer. You might also highlight your training and familiarity with firearms due to your previous position, to argue that you should be granted the permit despite your temporary anxiety and depression condition.
