Expands the definition of recorded owner to include the spouse of the recorded owner for concealed carry licensing purposes, allowing more people to qualify for licenses without being the direct recorded owner.
The applicant is the recorded owner, with the Department of Justice, of the pistol, revolver, or other firearm for which the license will be issued, or the spouse of the recorded owner.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes multiple changes to California's concealed carry licensing under Penal Code sections 26150 et seq.: it expands eligibility by treating firearm owners' spouses as recorded owners and by narrowing one disqualification trigger (from 'charged' to 'convicted' for certain offenses, plus deleting the 2-year license term cap); it restricts eligibility by adding numerous new disqualification categories for past convictions, threats, gang membership, false application data, unreported losses, and other behaviors. All changes relate to the carry subtag of firearms. No provisions address 2A
