Question if pd says no can one go to the area sheriff?

PD/Sheriff Responsibilities

Sheriff has responsibility for unincorporated county and cities that have given SO authority to issue permits, such as American Canyon, Yountville, etc. (Napa PD issues for City of Napa).

For the record, I found the NPD to be quite accomodating during the process of aquiring my CCW.

[Gray Peterson]

None of this matters. The sheriff MUST accept all applications from all county residents, regardless of one's residency in a city.

If you get a rejection letter from a sheriff that says you must apply at the city first please forward those letters to Brandon or Gray.

Has anyone seen the fees lately at Napa PD? Holy cow, over $200 for a new license and over $100 for a renewal. I just sent an email to CGF.

Also, what about this interview at every renewal requirement?


When I did my renewal in July, LT Peecook actually told me that all police officers consider anyone with a firearm a criminal. Now, I know that isn't true, as I have several friends who are officers in many jurisdictions, including Napa...........But that's the mindset of the person we have to interview with!

Thanks for forwarding the fee schedule, as you can see from Sonoma the CGF guys take that seriously.

As for your renewal interview as long as they issue in accordance with the law and their GC policy then just gut it out and don't worry about the opinion of the interviewer. It is possibly a ruse to try and dissuade applicants. Once you are safe from retribution via revocation it might be worth while to file a complaint but for now it is probably better to work on getting into a position where you can defend yourself.

The Napa sheriffs CCW policy is littered with illegalities.

[F-2_Challenger]

So you would prefer that I start at the sheriffs office?

[wildhawker]

Yes, because the Sheriff must accept applications. PD's are not worth turning (chiefs are appointed, turn over fairly often, and are not compelled the same way Sheriffs are).

Napa County CCW Issuance

Has anyone here been successful with being issued a CCW in Napa County recently? Been waiting for Calguns to release the 'just cause' statements since November 2010.

What sort of illegalities can we expect to encounter when applying with the Napa Sheriff???

[beertinted]

I live and work within the City of Napa limits - should I be applying with the Sheriff's Office, or Napa PD? (Has Napa PD deferred to SO?)
Thanks.
