UPDATE:
I believe I am now at liberty to reveal that I offered to settle the current Federal case if the San Diego Sheriff's Department was prepared toissue me a CCW and reimbursed for my current out of pocket legal fees.
When asked for details of the conference, I was informed by my attorney that the County/Sheriff's Department declined to settle on my terms under the belief that to issue me a CCW would open the door to gang bangers to do likewise.
I now believe that San Diego County advocatesthrowingbabies out with with the bath water in their policies and practices that deny CCWs tohonest law abidingCalifornia residents.
Based on what I have been told, it appears thatthe San Diego Sheriff's Department believes and will claim that denying honest law abiding residents CCWs serves a public purpose and acomplishes their goal of keeping other individuals involved who may be involved incriminal activities from obtaining CCWs.
This could be the reason that otherClaifornia residents in the countiesnot near the Mexican boarder orin communities that do nothavelarge populations of gang bangersexperienceless hassles or denials in obtainingaCalifornia CCW.
I'm still trying to digest what I have been told, but regardless of where this case goes, it's obvious that there are serious problems in the CCW process regardless of where you live in California.
Maybe I made a mistake in choosing to reside in San Diego.
Hot damn.
That is the most absurd rationale they could have possibly chosen to use. I've heard it before, but this is an instance where there is no chance it could be acceptable. They aren't dealing with suburban soccer moms, this is Federal Court.
Was there a specific official of SD County who intimated this to you and your representation or was this a claim made by their own representation?
Come to Fresno, the CCWs are given to those who need them. On second thought, the downside would be that you have to deal with the reason they are more reasonable to acquire: its f&#!ing dangerous here.
They know they are wrong, hell they knew they were wrong when they balled up your application and told you to go pound sand. They were grasping for straws when they feigned idiocy with the domicile/residency "misunderstanding" and they are defferring responsibility further now. Rejecting your settlment offer with that rationale is childish, and I can only imagine the frustration you might experience.
I doubt you would have settled with them anyway, with the certain pitbull like tendencies you possess. Maybe I'm wrong, I shouldn't assume that.
