[QQQ]

Let me know what happens, and whether the CGF suggests trying to apply! For $20, I would be willing to submit an application. I'm 21, not a prohibited person, and living in Irvine.

looking forward to updates.

Love to see Sheriff Hutchens forced to comply with CCW issuance to everyday people...

Seriously? Orange County only has 9 sponsors so far?

If I did it, you can too!!

C'mon people!
Every single person that is able should sponsor!

I live in OC, over 21, squeeky clean record, and would be happy to apply and report feedback if need be.

I called Irvine PD - they basically told me that they won't give me one unless I have documented threat to my life, and one that would be considered an ongoing threat. They said i'd have better luck with the OCSD.

PS - MADE MY CGF contribution for the CCW Initiative.

How does one obtain documentation to an on going threat? I'm sure that you would have had to suffer actual physical harm, as well as some sort of note/phone message/email with specifics that there is a threat, and that it is a persistent one, that will not be stopping in the near future. Cause it seems that mere police reports of a threat are not sufficient (afaik from other posts).

I doubt Hutchens would give you any more than what Irvine did. I'm pretty sure Hutchens will be one of the last holdouts along with LA's and SF's sheriffs.

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

Nope. They send you off to the sheriff, too.

Yep. But if one could look at who and how long they had theirs, it would make more sense.

It's like saying Culver City issues, but no one really can recall them issuing.

Looking forward to more info on this!!!

Sounds like a case for CGF. They (Irvine) can't issue to some then tell others to go to the Sheriff. I have an email from the PD saying they have two issued.

Sponsored Orange County...standing by for updates.

[luckystrike]

Im planning on applying for one in january.
anyone here from OC actually have a CCW?

[the_donald_]

Sponsored, waiting for the "all clear".

Nope. For the most part CGF is going to focus solely on the sheriffs and leave the cities alone. There are too many cities to deal with, each city effects a relatively small number of CGF's constituency and if CGF applies pressure they can completely escape by filing (g) and letting the sheriff handle all their apps.

If you know that Irvine issues but they just don't want to give you app etc. Just download the app on the CGF site, fill it out and mail it in, certified, return receipt. This will count as submitting your application and if they give you push back ask if they issue to anyone other than Peace Officers. If they do issue then they MUST accept your application. If they accept your application then they must act upon it in accordance with Guillory and Salute.

You would have to do all the footwork to ge them to act on the application though. It wouldn't be easy and if I were in your shoes I'd sit tight and wait for OC actions to start here. OR go to CalCCW or BillyJack and follow the "old" method of getting a CCW.
