LA Co Sheriff is now regularly issuing concealed carry permits!

[Paladin]

Over the past several months Sheriff Villanueva has started issuing more CCWs. If you have credible threats against your life, if you own a business (e.g., make regular large cash deposits), have a profession (e.g., female RE agents showing residences to strangers alone), or job (e.g., collecting cash rents), that puts you at higher than average risk of attack and want to be able to carry a handgun to defend yourself (and you’re a resident of LA county), you should apply. See: https://lasd.org/ccw/

The CCW Application Advice thread is here:

Read through the whole thread at least once and reread all my posts at least once more.

Sheriff Villanueva announced he’d issue more CCWs last June 15th and we had our first CalGunner get issued on Oct 1st. Since then we’ve had over a dozen get permits.

Share this info with LA Co family, friends, shooting buddettes and any other gals (or guys) that might be interested.

Last week we got our first reports of LA Co residents getting issued for Light Green Good Cause (recreational activities risks like hiking in wilderness or transporting guns & ammo to and from shooting ranges). We also heard of some people being issued for Dark Green GC (daily routine risks like feeling unsafe/threatened while commuting by bus).

Use the links above for more information and if you do apply be sure to let the rest of us know how it goes by posting about it here or in the LA Co CCW thread or just PM me if you’d rather stay anonymous.

Never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for the input you've had on this issue, Paladin, and for keeping us informed.

Sheriff Villanueva has liberalized Good Cause further: now Recreational Risks (Light Green on the map) can be sufficient Good Cause. (“I take several semiautomatic pistols, rifles and/or shotguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition to and from a shooting range every month. I am at higher risk of being targeted for crime not only because of their value but also because they can be used as weapons.”)
