I just received my denial letter from Burbank chief of police yesterday. Been a private investigator for over 20 years now, Working many court panel cases as well as private, some very high risk situations over the course of my career. DENIED citing criteria must show imminent serious risk of harm not potential risk? My first time applying never thought it would be difficult for me. Any suggestions is appreciated

Probably not the suggestion you want to hear, but, maybe move to Kern or San Bernardino county.

Or to Torrance, depending upon which is easier to get to work....

wish i lived just 5 miles east or south to get into a CCW friendly county.... being right on the border of LA County sucks.

Actually it means you can move just over the border and still probably drive to the same job without much more of a hassle.

Can anyone refer a lawyer or expediter that can help with the CCW process? Thanks!

Hey all, new to the forum.

I'm considering a CCW application, I think I may have good enough cause, but I was wondering if those with better knowledge might be able to help me out with my chances.

I was the victim of a burglary, and the thief was caught because of the tracking on my laptop. He was caught with so much merchandise that he was given 10 years, currently serving in Missouri as part of a prisoner exchange program.

He knows who I am, where I live, and that my evidence/testimony is the lynch pin that got him caught.

Would his eventual release be enough to satisfy good cause, or do you think I would need something more concrete, like an actual "I'm gonna kill you" type of message? This is in Redondo Beach (LA county) so are my chances just effectively zero?

Do you have your open carry permit?

Do you have your open carry permit?

If he lives in LA County, unless he has a guard permit (as in security guard) he can't get an Open Carry permit. I don't think PIs and Security Guards are the sane thing, but I could be wrong.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't know the reference, but if memory serves, a former LA County sheriff once stated something like (and I'm probably badly paraphrasing) "a person has to basically prove they have a mob contract /price on their head in order to get a CCW permit in LA County"

Odds are highly against you sir, but I would try nonetheless. It's only $10 and adds another drop in the proof of demand bucket.

Good luck!

In case there's ANYONE in LA Co willing to fight for a CA CCW....

While I haven't looked into the process myself yet (I'm in Ala Co), it appears that once you get the ball rolling, the Grand Jury takes over and does all the investigating, collecting information, reviewing the law, applying the law to the facts and coming up with conclusions and decisions.

IOW, the costs to you in time, money and effort might not be great at all.

Over 10 million people in LA Co and nobody has posted that they'll look into this for LA Co....

From the Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles Webpage:

How do I request an investigation?

Any private citizen, government employee, or officer may submit a completed complaint form to request that the Civil Grand Jury conduct an investigation. A Citizen Complaint form is completed to request a Civil Grand Jury investigation. You may complete the form online; however it cannot be electronically submitted at this time.

Communications from the public can provide valuable information to the Civil Grand Jury. If the Civil Grand Jury determines that a matter drawn to its attention is within the legally permissible scope of its investigative powers and would warrant further inquiry, the Civil Grand Jury may request additional information. If a matter does not fall within the Civil Grand Jury's investigative authority, or the Civil Grand Jury determines not to further investigate a complaint, no action will be taken and there will be no further contact by the Civil Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury has no jurisdiction or authority to investigate federal agencies, state agencies, or the courts. The jurisdiction of the Civil Grand Jury is limited by statute and includes the following:

Inquiry into all public offenses committed or triable within the county and presenting them to the court by indictment

Consideration of evidence of misconduct against public officials to determine whether to present formal accusations requesting their removal from office
Inquiry into the condition and management of public prisons with in the county

Investigation and report on the operations, accounts, and records of the officers, departments, or functions of the county including those operations, accounts, and records of any special legislative district or other district in the county pursuant to state law for which the officers of the county are serving in their ex officio capacity as officers of the districts May investigate the books and records of any incorporated city or joint powers agency located in the county.

Almost three years later, my LASD denial letter arrived. -__-

Oct 2017- Curious where we're at in this timeline these days gang. Anyone know what the current likelihood of getting a CCW in LA is?

[Pantagruel]

2017 Update?

Take your pick. Personally, I think LAPD is much closer to issuing than LASD.

ANY UPDATE ON THIS?
