The San Joaquin County Sheriff's office is among the most corrupt in the state. The last Sheriff was recently imprisoned on Federal charges, the rest of the department is still foul.
MY INFO IS NOW THREE YEARS OUT OF DATE, OK?
Amador would be my top choice as a residence county. Stanislaus and Calaveras aren't half bad. There's a local gun group in Stanaslaus called the "Madison Society" that you should at least talk to about that county's current status.
Also: where possible move to county land, not an incorporated town. The usual problem is that police chiefs don't issue and sheriffs don't "intrude on their turf". Some cities however have enacted a provision whereby the sheriff is the one that handles CCW for that town - this is legal under Penal Code 12050(g) and is often known as "declaring G". If you have to move to an incorporated town with it's own chief, see if that's the situation.
Once you have a permit, it's good statewide.
