CCW IN California HELP!

[Gordon]

Well I just went with the premise that the kali system is corrupt ,


"I don't know, but I have heard of gun friendly sheriffs taking people on as auxiliary deputies, an unpaid position, with few if any real service duties. This action authorizes you to carry concealed any place in the state of California."

So true , even if their NOT gun friendly publicly,

I spend one day every 60 days in the Arms Room cleaning guns repairing range equipt ect. and I have to qualify and stand muster twice a year with my personally bought uniform and equiptment. I have to remember lots of people on Christmas though, getting back to the original premise.

My CCW is actually good state wide (unless in some moron place like SF or West Hollywood maybe)

If you insist...but now the ATF is going to raid your house...jk...what aobut if I decided to run for public office...would that give me a good enough reason to be issued a CCW??? I could always just run for something in Rohnert Park..?

Yes, run for a post on your county legislature, and have as the centerpiece of your platform that you adamantly oppose all forms of buggery and hobgoblinism. That ought to get you a few death threats.

California CCW is a statewide licence, just like every other state. If the issuing authority in your area issues you a CCW, then you are legal to carry anywhere in the state. (Other than place you are specifically denied access by state and federal law). There is no loophole in the residency requirement. You must apply with the issuing authority in your area.

The only loophole I can think of is: You can apply with the Sheriff's office of your county if the city turns you down. However, they don't usually like to ruffle feathers and will give the same answer as the city or send you back to the city for approval.

Hey I got a GREAT IDEA: Start taking administration of justice classes and become an LEO!!!!!!!

We need a whole lot more of people like you! You will be a "prince of the city" and it is a real good job security wise, and you get enough OT to pay pretty darn good too!

 

[UberPhLuBB]

Every County Sheriff/City Chief of police has authority to NOT honor your permit in THEIR jurisdiction, this is a very very rare occurrence.

Oops, ok I got it backwards then. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Sierramistbush]

What good reasons could I give that would allow me to get a CCW issued to me? I'm a college student with a part time job...? I still have a right to defend myself...don't I?

 

[yucaipa]

In almost all (I said most) Ca counties putting down self-defense/2ndA will get you rejected.

You will need to research to find out what qualifies as good cause in your county/city.

 

[EOD Guy]

By the way, you are only allowed to carry in the location the permit was granted. If your police chief granted it, you can only carry in that city. If CHP granted it, you can only carry in their jurisdiction. If a county grants it, you can only carry in that county. Once you step out of the boundary, you're carrying illegally.

That is not true. A CCW permit issued by any law enforcement agency where you reside is valid in the entire state. The one exception is for a license that was issued on the basis of a business you owned in a different county. In that case, the permit is only valid in the county in which your business is located. However, the issuing authority may place restrictions on the permit (most don't).

Also, the CHP does not issue CCW permits.

i called the local PD re: CCW..they actually laughed.."we haven't given one in over 10 yrs.."

do i have a good reason for wanting one...i live in an area that is gang territory..shootings and retaliation on a regular basis..

if the police chief/sheriff does not want to issue..they wont..its more political than 2A..from my point of view..politics will destroy the constitution every time..

Well, living in Sac county, I feel your pain, but in all honesty, you are pretty screwed. Not only do you live in a county that does not grant many CCWs, you are a college student, and that implies that you will be on campus, which, with a gun, is a huge no no.

All in all, like me, you have no (in the eyes of the law) legitimate reason to carry. You don't carry large sums of cash, you are not a target of harassment, you don't carry valuable good, etc....

Sorry to say, but our lives are worth less than a couple of grand in someone's pocket. Nice to know.

Oh, and BTW, don't apply if you think you will get turned down because in the future, if you move to another county, they may have a rule stating that if you were turned down for any reason on a prior application for a CCW, you automatically fail in the new county. Several counties I have looked at have that clause. Even nicer to know, right?

Man, I wish I still lived in Tehama couty.

How easy is it to become a reserve deputy????

And where is a good place to apply??

Additionally are most of the Sherriff Pro Military or does that count against you??

 

[Gordon]

Police depts. are more apt to put you on as a reservist than MOST sherrifs dept. Expect to serve in an un paid position part time once in a while for at least a year while they size you up. Then if you want to get sworn so you have a LEO CCW (and powers of arrest) you have to have taken the State required powers of arrest classes (about 12 units) available in all community colleges AND passed a State approved firearms class (which are given a various locations thru out the state ) OR have gone to POST academy(not all those who go to POST are LEOs ,yet!)which is at least 4 weeks and $$$ if the dept is not sending you!
I was once a sworn federal agent so was exempt from above.
So take the power's of arrest classes while you put in your new guy time and get to know your fellow LEOs and they you! THEN apply for a CCW and watch the iron gates of Calif. swing open!

That is not true. My CCW is valid in the entire State.

 

[Capital Punishment]

You're in California. Forget it.

 

[carp killer]

The police representative tells me that the police don't want civilians/citizens to have handguns, and say that i don't have a good enough reason to carry, even though my reason is in the Constitution.

What a B.S. reply. I thought LEO's swear to uphold the United States Constitution. What an ???????!

Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

First you have to apply. For me it was a 7 year process. But I prevailed and was finally issued a CCW. I was still in college and worked as a burger cook.

I had verbal arguments with the Captain about my ability to carry a weapon concealed. Current law allows you to carry a firearm concealed if you are going to or coming back from ...hunting, fishing,... HOWEVER THE WEAPON MUST BE UNLOADED AND YOU MUST NOT HAVE ANY AMMO ON YOUR PERSON OR WITHIN REACH.

First, read the law. It is the 12000 section of the Penal Code. Then apply to the Sherriff Department and ask for a interview with the Sherriff.

I have had a CCW for over 25 years now. The man I had a argument with removed all restrictions from my permit two years later. Always request a interview. That way you not just a application, but a person. Let them look you in the eyes and explain themselves.

I had heard our police department never issued permits. However I tried. When I received my permit, I was the only new permit issued that year, with restrictions you would not beleave. Two years later they were all removed.

May be some day you'll start a thread And tell the story,I'll bet it's something to read.
