... Politically he's appeasing both sides of the isle, he can still claim he's only issuing to those exhibiting a confirmed good cause, but he can also claim he's issuing more permits. ... His buddies in OC probably told him that even with their spike, permit holders aren't the ones causing crime issues. It's not like there's a spike in crime by having more permit holders... ie there's no downside to having more of us out there. |

Related: What would it take for Gore to change his mind back? One bad shoot by a SDSO CCWer? Two??? I doubt that. If he did, he'd accept SD = GC and he doesn't. Also, he seems very content to enforcing the law and not imposing his personal beliefs, so as long as the courts say May Issue is constitutionally okay and our state's May Issue law requires GC and evidence to support it, he'll require GC beyond SD. IMO, the thing you SD folk have to do is to support him when he asks the Board of Sups for more money, esp if for CCW related needs (staffing, new office space, online CCW app process) and ensure that more and more folks hear that things have changed, that they may be able to get CCW and, for just $105, apply to find out. I would not feel politically "safe" until there's ~20,000 SDSO CCWers -- ~1% of the adult population. My guess is that you'll have another sheriff's election before you get there and Gore probably won't be running again. For me: I won't be spending as much time in SD Co threads as I have. I'm in the SFBA. Hopefully, Young or some other Carry case will come to our rescue up here (and SB, LA and Imperial in SoCal). ETA: I should mention that with over 1,500 issued CCWs I'm thinking that's a record for SDSO. I doubt it has ever had that many issue before. I've asked baggss, to whom I sent old CCW stat documents, if he can look into that and post what he finds. Also, my estimate is CA recently passed 100,000 CCWs statewide -- another record, I'd bet. AFAIK, we did NOT lose any counties to anti sheriffs in the June election and we'll find out after they're sworn in next January what the new Sonoma and Yolo county sheriffs' CCW policies are like. Any improvement is to be applauded. Plus, if Kavanaugh gets on SCOTUS and if National Reciprocity passes in September ... things are really looking good despite the antis being in control of Sacto and the MSM. ![]()

While I do think the momentum for issuing has been going in the right direction, CCW's here are still not available to the average law abiding person.
I think the work SDCGO has done is great and is definitely making a difference, However we do not know if Gore will continue to issue or revert back to his old ways. Do we have the numbers on total number of permits this year issued vs total # denied? |

You must still present proof that you need one. News reports are not accepted as evidence. It reminds me of when a traffic light is installed, after someone is killed, not before.

The state auditor also did an audit of Sac, LA and SD policies and practices last summer (as I also mentioned above). The election was 2 months ago and he's still issuing more and more CCWs, his CCW unit is getting advice from OCSO on how to improve their process and he's asked for more staffing ($$$). He wouldn't do those things if he were planning on flipping back anytime soon. Regardless of why Gore has changed his policy & practices, he has and is issuing. IMO, the best way to ensure that continues is by getting more and more law-abiding applicants to submit applications. To aid in that, getting him (and the BoS?) to put the app process online (like most other counties' SOs), is an important next step. Rather than harp on a bitter past (which won't change the past and won't help the future), focus on consolidating the gains so that SD catches up to OC.

I have a permit today that I would not have last year, the year before that, five years ago, ten years ago. Things have changed. Not perfectly, but they have changed. If you demand Constitutional carry or nothing, you'll wind up with nothing.

And while we'd all prefer Constitutional carry, nobody is demanding it, so that's a ridiculous mischaracterization. The majority of people are only asking for self-defense as GC, which is a million miles away from ConCarry, and Gore has never been willing to offer that. I vote against him each election, but can't seem to dump his useless arse. Hopefully he'll "retire" very soon.

Progress? Not really. More like "a difference which makes no difference", because if Gore ever decides to decline to renew all your CCW privileges in 2/3/4 years, your "progress" won't exist. But we can agree to disagree. It's not that big a deal, more like quibbling over the placement of deck chairs on the Titanic. Gore is a screwed up scumbag, but in the larger sense his issuance posture is just a symptom of the disease. So dismiss the unimportant -- here's my bet, no money, just a gentleman's wager (so to speak): We'll have open carry (for all CA, not just special snowflakes with magical "good cause") from SCOTUS before your "progress" makes CCW available to all CA citizens (and CCW from CA under pressure from OC does not count)

Slightly OT, but it's for the good of the pessimist among us: CA, for the 1st time EVER has passed 100,000 CCWers!
![]() Per John Lott,PhD, we had 108,000 CCWers as of last March. (see p.12 in link) https://poseidon01.ssrn.com/delivery...127118&EXT=pdf ETA: there are 17.25M CCWers nationwide now, and that's not counting all the people CCing without a permit in the 12 Constitutional Carry states.

That is an embarrassment in a state with 40 million people. The rest of the country is approaching 5%. We are such a tiny fraction of that it's hardly worth mentioning except to point out how restrictive and un-American California is.

Come on. You should know better than to ask that. He just bit--es and moans and does NOTHING but discourage others in CA. Whining is unmanly, but whining and choosing to do NOTHING to fix the problem? That's like a little girl having a temper tantrum.
![]() When I look at that bar graph, I see we're 5th from last place (ahead of HI, NJ, DC, and RI) and predict that, if nothing changes legally, with just the passage of 4 years we'll pass MD and NY to be 7th from bottom. We've got major counties that switched to faster and smoother online app process and the benefits just started kicking in this year. (You-know-who probably looks at that and says "We're doomed! The future is hopeless!") If Gore takes OC's advice, gets more staffing ASAP and switches to online application process, I think come Jan 2023, EVEN WITHOUT winning any Carry Cases or other counties "changing colors" (liberalizing issuance), we'll get to 2.5% issuance, which would put us ahead of MS, AK, and DE (assuming their rates stay the same). By then or around then, assuming Kavanaugh gets on SCOTUS and 1 anti gets replaced by another Trump justice, we should win a Right to Carry of some sort for the entire nation. ![]() As far as the pathological pessimist ("Debbie Downer"): just ignore his posts by adding him to your Ignore list, like I did. You won't even see his dis-couraging posts when you log on, only when someone else quotes him. Life is more pleasant without such people in your life. ![]() More I think about this, the more I think maybe psych evals should be mandatory for CA CCWs.... ![]()

Well, you can if you write some convoluted story about how you are substantially more at risk than the average Joe, then hope and pray that is sufficient. Please mister Gore, my circumstances are such that I must carry to protect myself and my family. Please, pretty please.

![]() https://www.sdsheriff.net/licensing/ccw.html Plus, note how Gore went from approving 85 in a month to approving 105: ~25% increase in the rate of CCWs approved per month. Hopefully, that increases next month too. If the increasing rate of issuance keeps up, SDSO should break 2,000 CCWers by New Years and 3,000 CCWers in just over a year from now. ![]() If SDSO switches to online apps and that transition goes smoothly, Gore can crank them out even faster! Personally, I look forward to SDSO having issued 7,500 CCWs. Why? SD co has an adult (>21) pop. of ~2.5M. One half the national avg of the rate of CCWs -- can't really expect better in the PRK, even if we were Shall Issue -- would be 75,000 CCWers: 7,500 is 1/10th of that. SD Co will finally have passed the first major milestone on its way to where it should be: 75,000 CCWers. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...rnia/PST045217

I'm shooting to attend one of those guides to getting a CCW here in SD. The place holding the class is claiming that it's much much easier to get a CCW now and that Gore is issuing like a bat out of hell. I really don't have any unique gc to provide besides self defense, and I'm sure that's the same for most folks. But I'm curious to see how they spin it

The question of why Gore has changed has come up.
Here is the story. San Diego County Gun Owners SDCGO launched in late 2015. From the start we focused on the Sheriff’s CCW policies and getting him to change them or elect someone who will. In no particular order SDCGO: - Spoke to Gore’s supporters, donors, friends, colleagues, and staff about what was wrong with his CCW policies. - Interviewed on TV news, radio, and in print regarding Gore’s CCW policies - We met with organizations that had endorsed him in the past and got them to withhold their endorsement due to his CCW policies - Sent people to Gore’s fundraisers and speaking events to publicly criticize his CCW policies - Met with Gore to complain about his polices - Met with his opponent and helped him (a lot) craft his proposed CCW policy - Raised money for his opponent and eventually endorsed his opponent - Authored a resolution (letter from the city) for Santee stating that they, as a city, disagree with his CCW policy and want him to change it - Got other elected officials on the federal and local level to meet with Gore and ask him to change his CCW polices. Some of this was made public and published in newspapers. - Got the undersheriff in Orange County to talk to Gore about how successful their CCW program has been This is most of what we did and in the end it worked. After Santee passed their resolution he called SDCGO and we spent last summer meeting with Gore’s staff. We asked for good cause to be “self defense” or “personal protection”. We did not get that. But what we got is better than it has been in decades. Just about any good cause is approved, but the tricky part is you have to have proof. Gore was audited by the state and he doesn’t want a bad audit. So there has to be some kind of proof or backup showing your good cause is real. Example: Good cause – I’m a contractor and carry expensive tools to the job sight. Proof – contractor’s license Good cause – I hoke and camp often in San Diego’s back country. Proof – pictures of you camping and a log book showing specifically where you go, how long, and what you bring. I met with the undersheriff two weeks ago and they are full steam ahead on making the process better and continuing to issue. Last September there were around 1,100 CCWs issued in San Diego (not including judges and law enforcement). As of tonight there are 1682 (according to the counter added to the sheriff’s CCW webpage). Over 500 additional permits issued in just under a year. About a dozen have been turned down to background check issues (like finding a domestic violence conviction or recent DUI) and around 6 have been turned down due to their good cause statement. Mostly it was because they did not follow our instructions or refused to produce proof. I think they should have been granted a CCW, but I also think they would have been issued a permit had they followed our instructions. They have hired more staff and I am trying to convince them to get the same software Orange County uses to run their program. SDCGO continues to fight back bureaucracy that has tried to creep into the system and we’ve been successful. It is NOT perfect…but we are continuing to make it better and we can hardly believe how much it has changed for the better. Basically, most people in San Diego are about 16 sentences away from a CCW. It is real. It is happening. If you haven’t applied yet, you are missing out. There is a backlog and yes, that sucks. Call right now and make your appointment. Then take a few months while you wait for your first appointment to complete the application, write your good cause statement, get proof of your good cause, and take a few training classes on CA carry laws/lethal force laws. I have given over 30 seminars (most were free) on how to get your CCW and what to write for your good cause. SDCGO has produced a video explaining how to apply and what to write for your good cause. We have produced a Good Cause Worksheet that walks you through each sentence. SDCGO has posted over 25 good cause statements that we know have been approved. All can be found on www.SDCGO.org/CCW -Michael Schwartz SDCGO, Executive Director

Needless to say but needs repeating JOIN SD County Gun Owners.
This progress didn't happen magically. And is often the case.. that last part of a job sometimes takes more effort than all the effort that went before.
