I dropped off my application 9/29. Apparently the one clerk who processes them is on vacation at this time.

Right delayed is right denied. My app is in the hold file.

first off congrats! but reading the restrictions, does that mean if you go into a store that prohibits weapons you cant legally carry? or does it mean like federal buildings?

One cannot carry into federal buildings like courthouses or the US Post Office. Need to disarm to go in.

Private property (Starbucks or Toys R Us) can get you for trespassing if you are seen carrying and refuse to leave.

I got my "process discontinued" letter yesterday citing self defense was not sufficient and that the current status of Peruta justifies their "discontinuation"

What are they claiming as the current status?

What are they claiming as the current status?

Included with the 'discontinued' letter was a copy of the court order dated Mar. 26 2015.

Thomas, Chief Judge: Upon the vote of a a majority of nonrecused active judges, it is ordered that this case be reheard en banc pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 35(a) and Circuit Rule 35-3. The three-judge panel opinion and order denying motions to intervene shall not be cited as precedent by or to any court of the Ninth Circuit. (emphasis mine).

Basically they cite the en banc wait status as reason for throwing out any idea that good cause = self defense.

#1: I'd ask them to hold it pending finalization of Peruta. That way, if we do win it and you're still in Ala Co, you've saved your spot in line before the flood of unwashed, non-CGN masses apply.

#2: Since we're no longer confident of winning Peruta, look into moving just over the border into Solano, Sac, San Joaquin, or Stanislaus county (which ever is closest to your job) and commute into work. Ahern is unlikely to get voted out of office, so unless he retires or dies or has a dramatic change of heart, we're not likely to get an pro CCW sheriff in Ala Co for the foreseeable future.

That is the first Alameda CCW that I have seen... It was my understanding to be valid throughout the state, the CCW had to be on the BOF 4501? Not on a CCW of the sheriffs own design.

Am I missing something?

ETA- Looks like some counties issue hard cards that don't comply with the state statute. Does Alameda at least give you a copy of the BOF 4501 to carry?

[j6p2004]

ACSO issues both the BOF4501, laminated, and the plastic card. According to the unit secretary, you only need to have the card with you while carrying.

That is one sad looking map.

That is one sad looking map.

It looks a LOT better than it did in 2008....

While I'd LOVE it all to be "dark green," at least we're moving in the right direction.

I just wish Sonoma, Napa and SLO folks would organize to push their sheriffs to issue more (getting to light green for Napa and SLO, yellow for Sonoma), or to replace those sheriffs in the next election (2018?).

If Trump wins, I'm confident he'll sign national reciprocity and then CA, but esp the major urban anti counties will be FLOODED each year with MILLIONS of out-of-state CCWers. Yet, residents of those same counties won't be able to carry in their own neighborhoods? Sounds like a possible 14th A EP attack to me.

One word: MOVE

[sueshake]

No big deal: put your excess in storage, rent an apt or house in Solano, get your CCW and rent out your house for 2 years. It just depends upon how bad you want a CA CCW....

By that time Drake, Richards-Peruta, and/or Pantano should have been run by SCOTUS and, if we win (before 2015 July 01), PIs & TROs will be flying in the Bay Area and you can move back home.

I don't know about the law. So does it requires an CCW holder to live in the county, where he/she obtained his/her CCW, for the whole period of holding the CCW or he/she can move to other counties once gets the CCW issued?
