San Joaquin

[Mayor McRifle]

Peruta appeal denied. That's great news!

Motions to intervene were denied -- not an appeal. But it's still great news.

Question:

Lately, San Joaquin County has been asking CCW applicants for their employer's firearm policy statement. Obviously, for liability reasons, most employers are not going to authorize or openly state that their employees can carry firearms at work. As a result, recently issued CCWs now have restrictions on them that state something to the effect "Not authorized to carry firearm at work."

Here is my question: My good friend interviewed on Monday and explained that his employer does not have a written firearm policy because no one has ever asked, but now they are considering writing one. The investigator told him "ok, I will just write on your application that you are not authorized to carry your firearm at work. If something changes or you get a written statement from your employer stating you are authorized to carry at work from someone we can call and verify, then we can change it." But here is the catch: my friend is a Mortgage Broker and it is very difficult to define in his case precisely what "at work" means? For example, is "at work" just his office? Or does it included when he goes to the title company for a sign off? Is that "at work?" What about on the weekends, if he attends an open house with a realtor in a dangerous neighborhood? Is he at work? Or a client's home? Or what if he takes clients to a Sunday golf course or out to the duck blind in order to solicit business? Is he at work then? Finally, even more aggravating is that he is the branch manager and when the alarm at the branch goes off in the middle of the night he is required to go the branch, meet the police, and disarm the alarm. Since he lives very close to where he works, he often beats the police to his office and ends up having to wait for them. Any suggestions as to how he should address this situation?

Does anyone have some good suggestions or insight to this question?

At work for him would be at his office/place of employment, not at a golf course open house or title company even though he might be working.

When did you apply?

April 16.

On the phone call investigator only asked me one question, which guns did I want on my permit. Never had a residence check either!

I work from home, they asked about carry at work, explained the conditions, said they would place a condition where I could not carry at work.

Since I am inside my own home, what I do there is none of their business, I can open carry, put it on a shelf talk to an elf....

Congrats shenecke!

My wife got a call today. The investigator asked her a couple of questions and told her that her permit was being finalized.

I'm hoping my call is coming soon.

[slipknot95758]

Congrats. I called to change one a month ago and they said to just tell them when I was approved
