Those denied statements seem to either be far stretched or mention defending others (non relatives).

Orange County Denied Good Cause Statements (batch #1) can be found Here

Thanks for providing approved and denied statements.

I see a lot of subjectivity on the Sheriff's part on who was approved and who was denied. Does anybody else see what I see or am i imagining things?

You will find that in virtually every counties good cause statements...

MAY. ISSUE.

[Anchors]

From the few denials I can see, some of them are SO similar to some approved ones that the only difference that stood out was stating a need to "protect clients" or others (non-family members).

I think that is a sure way to turn off whoever is really making the decision as they'll probably think that you should go through the state and get a permit to practice personal protection.

I probably will hold off until it becomes less of a gamble.

Looks to me one of the easiest slam dunk ways without having to go through some BS about owning a certain type of business looks to become as little as a private pilot.

Has anyone attempted a CCW in OC since the CG statements were made available? Any update on OC?

[Hanse Davion]

I also saw on this thread that Newport Beach PD would issue, is that true? Can someone confirm this and tell me if there is anything different about going through the Newport Beach PD instead of the OCSD?

I'm pretty sure that Irvine issues their own. From their website:

Can anyone confirm that Irvine issues their own? The website does make it seem that way, but I would like to confirm it.

[Doheny]

Yes Irvine does issue, but last time I checked a few years ago they only had three issued.

Sorry for the 20 questions, but:
Is it worth talking to Sgt. Bill Whalen? Have you talked with him at all? Also, do you know how many applied vs were issued? (or issued vs denied)

I can't remember who I spoke with via email. He was polite and professional but made it pretty clear that they have a very limited view of what GC is. Not sure of their ratio of issued/denied. Frankly, even as restrictive as OC Sheriff is, I think you'd have a better chance with them (the sheriff.)

I shot them an email to see if I can get some information. I'm really interested in applying if there is a chance it will be accepted. Thanks for your help.
