nice thanks for the heads up. The caller that said its a myth about how hard it is to get a CCW I wonder howmuch he donated to his sherriffs campaing and what county. He was so full of

Getting a CCW isn't that hard.... if you live in the right place you don't even have to be "connected".
You have to remember, the major portion of California is not in/near major metropolitan areas. Yes, I live in Oregon now but before I moved up here I got my CCW with nothing more than filling in the application. Of course the county had less than 20,000 people, the city I filed in about 5,000, and the police chief knew my name. Not because I was "connected" but because everyone knew everyone (a bit disconcerting when you ahve overnight guests). Anyone "presentable" and with a clean record got their CCW's in that town and county.
Now, if you'd all like a CHL, have we got a deal for you here in Oregon. A resident of a state adjoining Calif. can apply with ANY Oregon sheriff for a non-resident CHL. While those of us who are Oregon residents must be issued a CHL if we pass the background check, non-residents are "may issue". That said, one of our sheriffs up here has said that he ENCOURAGES non-resident applications and is even trying to attend out of state gun shows to "expedite" the process.
It's not good in Cali....yet..... but it is good in Oregon and several other states.
Or you can go for the Utah permit that's good in a bunch of states and can be done "mail order".
Just a thought.
