I will also be calling my homeowners insurance company (State Farm) to get some details on that as well. As you all may know, Ahern lost his primary and will not be Sheriff come November.
I’ll post details of my visit / phone call(s) ASAP.

IIRC requiring home owners insurance was made illegal back when Arnie was governor: it had a “disparate impact” on (i.e., discriminated against) blacks. Ask Librarian.

1. The SO is well aware that the just cause requirement is no longer a requirement. There was no equivocating on this.

2. The “morals” requirement is undefined. The SO is waiting for guidance from Sacramento. The example of “an individual with multiple felony arrests” was offered. **I did not record this conversation so this is what I recall**

3. The cost of the psych test may be increasing. No details.

4. Classroom training and firearms demonstration requirements remain.

5. With regard to the $1M negligent discharge insurance I asked for specific language so that I could be sure to have the correct coverage. No written specifics seem to exist. I then asked about how I show proof of coverage and was told that the SO could not accept any such documentation. I was told that applicants would need to attest to this coverage. Make of this what you will.

6. Expect the CCW process to take a year.

7. The tone of the meeting was very cordial. All my questions were answered and nobody got defensive or evasive.

8. Weather or not the SO should have seen this SCOTUS ruling coming, the permit process in Alameda County is very much a somewhat work in progress.

Hope this helps. harrye.

6. Expect the CCW process to take a year.

Imagine what'll happen when 10,000 CCW applications pile up. Psych evaluations alone will take almost five years. One hour per evaluation. Eight per day. 40 per week. 2,080 per year = 4.8 years.
