[/b]
To Whom It May Concern:[/b]
[/b]
The undersigned is in need of a clarification on the current policies and practices of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department which mandates questionable requirements regarding the required residence of applicants for CCW permits in San Diego County.[/b]
[/b]
[align=center]THE ISSUE[/b][/align]
[/b]
California[/b] Penal Code Sections[/b] 12050 thru 12054 require CCW applicants to be a “RESIDENT” of the city or county in which application is made.
In order to properly instruct individuals in the mandated requirements to obtain a CCW in California, I have conducted an extensive review of the California Penal Code regarding firearms and CCW permits
This document is prepared and submitted in an attempt to seek a clarification and understand the legislative intent and requirements imposed by the California Legislature through their use of the term “RESIDENT” as it appears in the California penal code.
A serious issue may currently exist where members of the California law enforcement community, by their written and verbal directives, policies, procedures and pracitices have exceeded the mandates of the California Penal Code by expanding the definition of “RESIDENT” in a manner that compels applicants to establish or maintain a domicile in the geographical area where the application is submitted.
If, any incorrect application of the penal code through the restrictive nature of requiring applicants to establish or maintain a “domicile” rather than a simple “RESIDENCE” it is occurring, it incumbent upon law enforcement to immediately correct the situation.
If after any review, it is found that a more restrictive definition of the term “RESIDENT” is currently being incorrectly applied to deny current and future applicants their rights under current California law, it may in fact evidence a clear and unmistakable abuse of power by those who implement the policy or practice.
The questions posed by this situation are simple.
Is there a clear and defined difference between a person who maintains a residence and personwho maintains a domicile?
What are the minimum legal requirements to establish a residence in applying for a CCW permitin the State of California?
Respectfully Requested,
