Santa Clara Co. CCW / Something to research

[Vincenzzo]

How many law abiding citizens have been gunned down on Laurie Smith’s watch?
How many of these have requested a CCW and were denied the right?
Furthermore, how many haven’t even submit a CCW request, because of the well know fact that it will be denied by L.S?
Do you consider her (Laurie Smith), at least somewhat responsible for any dead that could have been prevented, by simply affording law abiding citizens the right to carry?

First off, welcome newbie!

Congrats on your first post.

FYI the discussion re. applying for a CCW in Santa Clara Co can be found here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=352799 I'd suggest reading over the last 2 pages and maybe the opening post.

Here's a post of mine in that thread from just over a week ago:

If so, out of thanks to RINOs Sheriff Smith, Ahern (Ala Co) and Livingston (CoCoCo) for not issuing CCWs for "citizen safety" (cf "officer safety" and "public safety"), CGNers in those counties should plan on, plan for and carry out various public LOC events. WASTE LE resources by NOT notifying them ahead of time what, when and where you're doing it. (Unlike the courtesy we gave them back in, what was it, 2010?) Let them run their SWAT teams ragged responding to "men (yes, plural) with guns" calls all over the county.

IMO, LOC events should be held regardless of whether we also win Shall Issue CCW permits from SCOTUS, Sacto and/or the Sheriff. This will be for no other reason than to give these anti sheriffs and Sacto a big "F You!" in return for them requiring all of us to be disarmed in public, and being a secondary cause for many of us to be mugged, maimed, "comatosed", raped and/or manslaughter/murdered over the decades.

Since you're a newbie, I'll post the CA CCW GC map in case you've never seen it before. It shows "the lay of the land" re. getting a CCW from any of the 58 county sheriffs in CA. Yeah, currently Santa Clara is showing as bad as it gets....

CCWs may be improving statewide in about a year if we win a major case or more at SCOTUS this coming term (fall 2019 to spring 2020). Go to the Litigation and the National Politics forums at: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/f...play.php?f=329 to keep up with things.

Once again, welcome!
