At this point, hang tight and we'll get in touch with you as soon as we're ready to move in KC.

Haha, I wonder what Jordan's office would do if you certified mail the standard app and a $20 check to them And maybe include Solano and San Joaquin Counties' recent policy changes that were done "in accordance with State Law".
EDIT: now I saw Wildhawker's reply two posts up... Last edited by greasemonkey; 11-23-2010 at 7:22 AM.. |

We stopped by the Hanford PD today to pick up an application for my wife and to amend my permit with a new handgun.
A couple notes
My wife will be submitting her application this week. How should she respond to a fee request in excess of the PC 12054(a) $100 maximum? We don't want to make the application process any more antagonistic than it has to be, but OTOH a response like "the fee is $160, apply or don't, it's up to you" is both possible and not OK. I had positive interactions with the Hanford PD when I applied for my permit last year (except for the 7+ months it took to be processed). We're hopeful this will be a reasonable process. |

I'd strongly urge NOT applying to Hanford PD and applying directly to the Sheriff using one of the approved good cause statements at www.gotcarry.org.
However, if you are set on applying to the PD (and we expect your wife will be denied), she can help us to clean up their policy by demanding that they follow the law. If she is interested in this route, PM me your phone number and I'll get in touch. -Brandon Quote:

I talked to my friend at the Pd about the $160 fee. It is my understanding that this is the fed and local fee in one. I know they are not suposed to charge it all at once, and I might be able to approach him on that. But I wouldn't automatically assume she's not going to be approved.
I wonder about the sheriff's office...Jordan is just waiting for the end of the year. As I understand Robison is in the meetings now days seeing as he will be making all the up comming desicions. I can just imagine them sitting on your application till the turn of the year and then it not being a priority for Robison. Heaven knows he has a lot to accomplish in Jordans wake. |

This isn't in the realm of the DA's jurisdiction. We'll address this with state and federal civil suits.
Also, don't be too invested in the thought that we aren't looking at Kings.

I'm not suggesting we are being neglected, the reality is that there are more populated places that should be a priority. Use the CGF fund to help as many people as possible, that means spending on highly populated areas.
I get it. I'm not worried, it will happen, when it happens. I think CGF is doing a wonderful job, I'm very impressed with the way the board uses it's resources and the way they spend the incredibly valuable money that has been donated. Keep it up Brandon.

With few, very specific exceptions, we're not interested in PDs. Win the county level and you win for every resident of that jurisdiction, and avoid (g) games.

What I meant by this was that I think the PD would support it. In Kings county I think there would be a better reaction from the Sheriff if HPD was supporting it.

There is a #12 about a letter from your employer. I work on NASL for a defense contractorand there is now weapons carry on base. Would #12 still apply?

There was an article in the Sentinel yesterday about the new Sheriff David Robinson. He says he has an open door policy and works for the tax payers. Sounds like it's time for CGF to go pay him a visit. Link

The short answer is that while he said he'd be very liberal in granting them to ordinary citizens, discretionary issue will continue. He pointed out that California as a whole is definitely not shall issue (as if we all didn't know that already ), and it seems his impression of CCW is that he has some concerns about citizens who'd like to take the law into their own hands and do the job of the police. I'd like to think he doesn't have silly visions of CCW'ers out on the streets stalking drug dealers. The proof will be in what he does. Despite the above he seemed fairly pro-CCW but it was hard to tell. The context of our conversation wasn't the usual LEO-citizen interaction; he was out of uniform and at my place of business, so it's possible he just wanted to placate and not annoy me. I have a CCW issued last year by the Hanford police department, who told my wife to "not bother" applying. Her application through the Sheriff is complete and just waiting for her to drop it off (probably this week). Her good cause statement is a brief "personal defense" with a couple lines about our recent break-in. |

Typical statist anti-liberty politico we call Sheriff.
He'll get his soon, even if we have to have a Federal judge compel it. ETA: What does a break-in have to do with bear outside the home, unless you were specifically targeted?

I'm still waiting for word from the Right People, but I have a couple friends who have stopped by the sheriffs office to pick up applications, and were told that they have to go through HPD because KCSO and HPD 'have an agreement.' they were able to get an application however. Is there anyone on here I should have them contact? I assume the more people who have been given false information by LE, the better for us as a whole.

Wildhawker & Graypetersen have the official word on go-time, I've got a list of people ready to apply, as well. You don't even have to go in and pick up an application, you can fill out and print the .pdf CA-DOJ Standard Application and just mail it in along with a few other details per The Right People.
And yes, that is one of the illegal policies expected to be done away with when this is all over. Quote:

It's really up to you. Kings absolutely has some issues with their policy, but there is a strategic path which requires some finality in other jurisdictions. I'm time-limited and don't want to overcommit to Kings applicants, but I think those who want to reform the policy should count on some instruction being available soon. Those who simply want to apply should not wait on the Initiative, but we would appreciate being kept informed of status and outcomes either here or by email.

KCSO has updated their CCW policy and posted it online:
http://www.countyofkings.com/sheriff...structions.pdf seems they may be thumbing their noses at us seeing how the new policy has a few more issues than the old policy, most noticeably: " Do you reside inside the city limits of Avenal, Corcoran, Hanford or Lemoore?... If your answer is yes, please contact the Police Department of the city in which you reside. If your application gets denied by your local police department, you may then be eligible to apply with the Kings County Sheriff. " and: " Three (3) letters of character reference" which i do not see in the old policy, available on the sunshine initiative site.

They're not missing his letters, the current Sheriff's administrative staff and legal counsel probably actually understands what Brandon's letters are attempting to say, it's just that they actually believe that their "discretion" with CCWs is that they get to write whatever laws they want and that the State Laws are merely suggestions or a starting point of reference.

I saw this as well, and it concerns me, that is why I am taking orders to Lemoore...
"4. Are you active military or a military dependent? If your answer is no, you may be eligible to submit a completed application packet to the Kings County Sheriff's Office. If your answer is yes, you may be eligible to submit a completed application packet to the Kings County Sheriff's Office. Your packet must include a letter from your Commanding Officer stating their awareness of your application and a comment regarding any policy, which may affect your ability to carry a concealed weapon while working." Can they require this information from my employer?

Kings County has been noticed and it wouldn't be the first time (see Harrott v. County of Kings). That said, there are Counties who are reaching out TO CGF for help drafting their department policies that they're now magically working on since Merced was served papers
As with the rest of the Counties, suing them really is the last option pursued. There may be an opportunity for CGF and some constituents to have a viable, friendly influence without having to go to court. (This really has no bearing now but the last Sheriff, Jordan, had some disgusting Equal Protection issues that just didn't come up in time before he was effectively run out of office by the voters on election day. Those would have made some BEAUTIFUL court cases.) |

My wife just went to the Kings County Sheriff's office to submit her CCW application. She was told
She's signed up to take the CCW course, which is no big deal. It'll be needed eventually, and The Range in Fresno puts on a good course that's worth going to in its own right. Time and money for training is always time and money well spent. She's asked three appropriate people to write letters for her. We know this is an illegal requirement, but for the moment it seems easier to jump through the hoops. As for the letter of rejection from the police department, she's just going to write her own letter documenting our experience there. Which was, to give an exact quote, "don't bother applying" because they don't approve applications for "personal defense" as good cause. I'm a little upset by the fact that the Sheriff's office is at best ignorant of the laws they're entrusted to uphold, and at worst deliberately flaunting them. Perhaps some kind but stern words from CGF would help bring their CCW policies more in line with state law? Last edited by pgg; 08-02-2011 at 3:26 PM.. |

I'd like to setup a meeting with both the KCSO and Hanford PD to discuss these issues. How feasible would it be for you both to join? You can email me at bcombs at calgunsfoundation dot org to discuss offline.

I'm unsure of how much water such things hold, but I spoke with someone who spoke at length with a DA investigator about the 'must apply to HPD first' policy, and he was told in so many words "they know it's not legal, the policy is political", and "they'll check if you applied to HPD first, and deny you automatically if not"
