California CCW

FS00008 · 06-05-2008, 12:07 AM

So my friend was denied CCW by Sheriff Rupf in Contra Costa County today. Apparently the fact that he works business that has quite a bit of cash and he is responsible for carrying it some of the time does not make him eligible for a permit.

I'm missing Forsyth County Ga where we walked in, filled out the paperwork, did the fingerprinting, and then 1-3 weeks later you'd get a pretty CCW license in the mail.

Forget this place... I swear.

Yep. I went to the Sheriff's office, in Stanislaus County, Ca., and asked about a CCW, as I carried large amounts of money, and thousands of dollars worth of tools. They told me, that IF I could qualify for it, it would only be good in that county. What good is a CCW that's only valid in the county where you live? I traveled the entire state, during my career, and just decided not to worry about it, and luckily never had a problem.

I have had a Arkansas CCW permit since 1996, it is now good in 30 other states. One must remember this is a privledge and not a right. Mr. Obama wants to do away with state ccw and will do so with a federal law if elected. Also that wonderful man wants to register all ammo sales.

Mike I am glad you clarified that for me - I thought the Second Amendment gave me the Right to carry a firearm. I guess I should write a note to the Democratic party thanking them for allowing me the privilege of still owning a firearm.

I hope you were being sarcastic!

I know. I wrote a note to Senator Osama's "Contact Us" thing a few months back asking them to clarify exactly his stance on CCW, however they never responded. I suppose they think that if they never answer that I'd vote for Senator Osama.

Not going to happen.
