I have a CCW in SLO County under Hedges.... I think Parkinson will be much easier to have them granted. Wait it out a few months everyone...

[dantodd]

So I am thinking about applying for a SLO county CCW, but before I waste the time and money.... Does anybody have any recent experiences with the new sherriff (Parkinson) that would be helpful?

i'm in the same boat... no experience with the sheriff but can't be any worse than the last one... I hope. I wasn't thinking about CCW during the election, but wish i'd at least looked into it. I voted against the other guy because of the persistent rumours of fraud/corruption. And that Parkinson was at least endorsed by the local bible store owner.

Any thoughts/news on UOC here in SLO county? i have a little girl to protect, and parks full of dog owners who ignore the leash laws.

Please sign up per the instructions in this thread: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=353115

When the time comes to either take action in your county, or when your county is determined to be "shall issue" and it is safe to apply with "self defense" as your good cause, you will be notified in this thread or via email.

Also, please consider donating to help pay for all the PRA's and lawyers that it is taking to do this work. The cost of sponsoring your county is about the same as the cost of the mandatory background check!

Volunteer in the "call for volunteers" thread in the main 2A forum. When the time is right you will get an email on how to proceed. There will also likely be a thread here when we request activity in a particular county.

It begins...

By Daniel Blackburn

Incoming San Luis Obispo County sheriff Ian Parkinson will encounter one additional headache when he takes office in January: A powerful California gun advocacy group plans a major campaign to make firearm carrying permits easily obtainable to all “law abiding Californians.”....

It means that SLO is (at least currently) unfriendly to 2A/CCW.

I'm sure you get tired of hearing this, but can you guys please sue my county next?

[furyous68]

gotcha! I was taking "red" territory as Republican or gun friendly... which confused me! lol

[furyous68]

sorry... forgive me, but what does that mean?

[wildhawker]

Anecdotal evidence suggests SLO swung into dark red territory.

[AJAX22]

My understanding is that SLO allows pretty much anything that is well written and articulate as good cause.

I had a friend with a CCW in slo, IIRC he just had a nice letter that said that he would like to have the means to defend his life and the lives of his family should the need arise (or something to that effect).

[furyous68]

Hello everybody! Getting ready to apply in SLO. I have a question though.. reading through the information on Gray's link above, I saw that the ONLY "good cause" was if being threatened.. i.e. a stalker, death threats, etc. Is this the current guideline?

Can we develop a standardized CCW policy, that fulfills the requirements of the law, that we can provide to the newly elected sheriffs?

This would provide cover for a sheriff when challenged on his CCW policy; "we are using a standard CCW policy that has been accepted around the state and follows CA state law".

Perhaps those new sheriffs would be open to assistance going through GC statements to 'help' them stay out of legal trouble. Shoot, why not have CGN members seek employment with a department to administer the CCW program?

Time to be proactive in developing policy and procedure.

This is already underway.
