It very much depends on the county you live in. The rural counties are almost shall issue. There are quite a few CCW holders in California its just that everyone forgets that there is a gigantic rural state that plays second fiddle to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. I've met a few CCW holders from Kern county and they think its sad and funny that they can carry in San Fransisco but the residents there cannot. San Francisco is basically a "no issue" city and county just like LA county. Recently Orange county, south of Los Angeles, switched from a very pro carry, shall issue sheriff to one that is very anti carry. The new sheriff then set about revoking peoples carry permits but had a real uphill battle since so many (for California anyway) were issued.Heartland Patriot wrote:I read the words you said and the spirit in which you said them...and stand by what I wrote...how many Californians have CHL/CWP in relation to other states such as Texas or Florida?psijac wrote:Heartland Patriot wrote:almost no one has a carry permit/license.
You can get a carry permit pretty easy in Cali. Just make a nice big donation to your local sherrifs reelection campaign
Either way though, California lags far behind most other states in CCW issuance but it is certainly a far cry from non existent.
