San Joaquin

[GrizFyrFyter]

My wife and I are both looking into CCW. Our GC would be to protect ourselves and our family legally in urban areas as well as when we are camping, backpacking and rock climbing in remote areas. My wife also deals with large sums of money at work, though she is looking to get back into EMS. We live in Lodi.

I have read through most of the posts and went from hopeful to distressed. Makes me wish we would have stayed in Sonora, where the process really takes a couple weeks.

I don't have much $ to spare and not as much time as I would like to volunteer. I'm headed to the link to sign up, but what can I look forward to doing?

Where can I find more details about the court cases?

Has anyone applied recently? Thinking about doing it in the wake of Aurora. May see the same result, but I feel like I need to do something to protect my family.

It aggravating to be sure, but the last official communications seems, to me at least, to make two clear points: 1) we are at an impasse in getting CCWs approved generally and it will take either a change of Sheriff or legal action to free the process up and 2) CGF has bigger fish to fry with AB 249, Pena, and other issues and cases to spend time and money on San Joaquin right now so we need to be patient. Our neighborhood is covered by the sheriff for public safety so I don't have a city alternative to use so I'll just have to be patient.

Did I hear a rumor that Mateca was seeing local PD CCW approvals?

[GrizFyrFyter]

I'm going to submit my application in about a month to Lodi PD, if they will give me one.

I heard unless you are LE, Sheriff Moore won't approve you just based on your right to self defense. Also, if you state you carry large sums of cash he will want bank records. Again, not fact, just what I have learned through other people.

This correct on the large sum of cash part. While working with the AG. Dept I meet a few orchard growers around the linden, lodi area that had to bring in bank receipts and other paper work showing they carry large sums of cash. One of gentlemen I meet runs produce stands at farmers markets as well as other things. where all his business is cash

And even then, unless they have some tie with Moore, their LTC's are most likely restricted to only allow them to carry while transporting said "large sums of money".

I found out that a coworker's son was recently given an unrestricted LTC by Moore. It turns out some guy helped out a deputy that was being attacked, and the deputy basically got him an LTC for his efforts (which is backdoor, but still pretty admirable). My coworker's son works for the guy who helped the deputy, so long story short, he got a LTC too.

I don't think you will have any success. A friend who has had a CCW for over 15 years, and has substancial good cause, received a letter about 6 months ago telling him it had been revoked and he had ten days to return it to the PD office. It seems letters went out to almost every CCW holder in the city of Lodi.

Woooow. Fingers crossed that my wife gets the job with Sac Metro Fire, if so we are gone from this place.

Was a reason provided for revocation?

That is NOT good news. I was hoping that since the new Police Chief was from Stockton, he might have a different view on LTC. If he did this 6 months ago, it was one of the first things he did after taking the position.

On a side note, if they sent letters to ALL LTC holders in Lodi, they didn't have to spend too much money on stamps. Out of a population of 65,000-70,000 people, I was told there were only around 40 LTC's issued. That was according to the retired LT that was handling LTC's a couple years ago. He was a delightful man, who proceeded to verbally assault my GCS (which was good) & deny even giving me an application.

[JagerTroop]

Lol. That would be Chet Somera, megadouche.
It's always amazed me that they didn't even want to send out the packet.
Sounds like I got further than most at LPD. At least they let me apply before they denied me. Lol.

[GrizFyrFyter]

I will still try for an application. If denied, I will go through the hoops and escalate it to the sheriff, even if its a list cause. You can fight something with words, it takes documentation.

While I want this to protect myself and my family in these crazy cities, I really want the price of mind of not being arrested for carrying when my wife and i are backpacking, cause I'm going to carry then no matter what. There are too many tweakers out there too and NO law enforcement response worth even trying to time.

Apparently in California you don't need a reason to infringe on or deny a fundamental right.
