Reminder that extreme hoplophobe Dianne Feinstein had an extremely hard to get CCW permit from San Francisco when she was mayor. CA is one of the few states left that still have may issue CCW permits, and the big cities of LA, San Francisco, and Sacramento have historically issued them only to the rich and famous who can afford to give mid five digits to the political campaign of the sitting Sheriff, or to the politically connected.
Democrats, and especially California Democrats, have always been able to sidestep and avoid the firearm rules everyone else have to live by. Exceptions to this are rare, like this extreme hoplophobe CA state assemblymen who was convicted of gun trafficking, and served five years in prison.
Bruen involved New York, which had an even more onerous may issue system than CA has. There are legal challenges to the CA CCW system in work right now, and CA just lost a case against their refusal to issue out of state CCW permits. CA doesn't recognize any other state issued permit, and didn't issue non-resident permits, but now they have to.
The entire CCW legal fight is just sheer ideological based obstinance on the part of CA. The rest of the country long ago realized that concealed carry permits are not an issue, to such an extent that something like 27 states now let people carry concealed without any kind of permit at all.

I thought Bruen destroyed may-issue?

The Democrats have returned to tradition:
"The Supreme Court has made their decision, now let them enforce it."
there is no legal basis for gun control under bruen. it's just a matter of bringing the case and them taking it.
