The majority have been given to reserve police officers, judges, prosecutors and to reward political supporters. I will depoliticize the process and establish an annual audit to review each application to ensure the process is unbiased, non-political and equitable.
I see a sticky thread about Bill Hunt promising a shall issue CCW policy in Orange County if he wins. I posted this already but think its worth starting a new thread. In his statement above he says he will issue concealed weapons permits... to people who meet state mandated requirements. One of the State mandated requirements is to show Good Cause. This good cause requirement is the same policy being used by current Sheriff Mike Carona. Just want make sure people understand what it means. I don't think it is a "shall issue" policy.
