The City of Los Angeles varies little from the rest of the state in terms of its views on the transportation of firearms.
Difficult ain't a severe enough word for how hard it is to get a concealed carry permit. Unless you're rich and famous or a member of law enforcement or high-profile member of government, you don't get one.
Carry permits are almost the same here in NYC. The police department will never grant a carry permit unless you show an extraordinary need regarding the danger of imminent physical harm which is (
extremely difficult to show and an extremely high hurdle to overcome. Not for some celebrities it seems, and that has been a long time complaint.
Business owners with clean records who deal with large amounts of cash can apply and obtain carry permits. There are qualifications and restrictions to that as well and it is technically not a license to full time carry.
People in the security industry with clean records can also get carry permits, but there are also restrictions involved.
Citizens here can apply and receive a rifle and shotgun permit. They don't make it particularly easy, but people can get a permit.
