On Nov. 2nd, Prop59 passed with an overwhelming 83% approval rate, second only to Prop1A.
It beefed up the Public Records Act.
Now the other shoe drops. We were planning this back on this thread:
http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=102840&perpage=999
It took me an extra day but I got all 28 PRARs done, printed on a high-end color laser and mailed out. Two are actually unconnected to CCW. Suggestions on yet more PRARs welcome.

CCW PRARs
First, we have the one going to the California DOJ:

Then we have the one that goes to local sheriffs/police chiefs:
http://www.equalccw.com/prarccwlocal.pdf
Both make reference to specific elements of the California state-standard CCW form; for a proper copy of that, see also:
http://www.equalccw.com/ca_ccw_app.pdf
The "local" version of the PRAR was done in MS-Word mail-merge; to see the database of which local agencies got hit, see also:

----------------------------
Other stuff
We hit the SF Sheriff's office with a PRAR that they're really going to hate. It has nothing to do with CCW (we already have proof they're "zero issue").
Last year, some SF NRA Member's Council guys learned that Cow Palace gun show protesters were just ordinary folks working off "community service time" through a non-profit "charity" called "Brothers Against Guns". BAG later showed up as a supporter of Jackie Spieir's Cow Palace gun show ban bill (SB1733).
On the theory that letting grabbers feed off the puplic trough is a bad idea, I intend to deliver some pain . Hence this:

Read it an weep, "Brothers".
Oh, and if you think these clowns aren't dirty as hell, read all about the 2nd in command who died in a shootout while wanted for murder by the SFPD:
http://www.equalccw.com/brothersagainstgunsevidence.pdf
Can you say "criminals in favor of gun control"?
I don't think this will be as big as the MMM thing of a couple years back but hey, who knows? I *really* want to see that list of 2000(!?) non-profit agencies tapping into this "free labor pool".
Aaaanyways.
Last up, somebody wrote to my bosses in Bellevue asking about certain old documents on "Assault Weapons" from California circa late '80s, early '90s. He was interested in these for the Illinois AW ban debate happening in their legislature now.
I couldn't find the documents online, but I found references to an intriguing string of documents apparantly written at a time when the California DOJ was one HELL of a lot more pro-self-defense than they are now!
Hence this PRAR to DOJ:

If they say "we don't got this stuff", that alone will be interesting...it means the new Dem AG and his staff threw out old documents supporting a political position they're against.

OK, who else wants some?
