NYSRPA decision should be released within 10 weeks. I’d wait for that before making next move. JMO

I would NOT mention the SCOTUS case. I would also include articles on increased animal attacks; they don't have to be local. I used (San Diego County) articles from all over the state.

Now that you've been denied by your local PD, you should resubmit your application to SLO county sheriff. Might have better luck there.

I submitted my CCW application to the City of Paso Robles Police Department on February 6, 2022. I submitted a recreational good cause stating that I spend a lot of time in the Los Padres NF, Big Sur, Carizzo Plain, and other areas where there is limited to no cell phone service and long police response times, often with expensive camping, motorcycle, mountain bike, and hunting equipment and that I fear I will be targeted in order for these items to be stolen and my life endangered in the process. I also attached a few recent articles from the Paso Police Department and SLO Sheriff's office on the increase of break-ins and theft at popular trailheads in the County.

I received a denial for "insufficient good cause" on March 3, 2022. Luckily, they do not charge any fees for the initial submittal, so this was free to submit.

In the denial letter, they included the contact information for who at the Paso PD handles the CCW program, and I was thinking about calling to discuss my good cause statement and what good cause statements they have typically accepted in the past. I am also curious to know if they are following the NYRSPA v. Bruen and if they will be adjusting their good cause requirements based on this case opinion, or if they will wait for additional cases to be tried in CA first.

Got it thanks!

Have done and will search more, but I haven’t seen anything there about Ian Parkinson’s office approving CCWs for recreation.

All good…just wondered if anyone in the county had any experience with this good cause here in slo.

I’m not in SLO, but … just go back through the last 3 years of this thread, from the start of his current term as sheriff (2019 Jan).

All CA sheriffs consider work related risks (which you face to get paid), stronger GC than recreational activities related risks (which choose to face, they’re optional).

Paso Robles Police Department has appointed Damien Nord as the new police chief. It appears he has previously served mostly in Kern County and is moving from Bakersfield. As a current resident of Paso Robles, I’m curious to know Nord’s stance on CCW issuance? Hoping that coming from Kern County he may be CCW friendly for general self defense or recreational.

I do not own my own business or have significant risk during work as I am a civil engineer. I am planning to submit on a recreational good cause of spending a lot of time alone hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, shooting/hunting, and riding motorcycles. These activities are often done in rural areas of Big Sur, Los Padres National Forest, and Carrizo Plain. During most of these activities, I am using thousands of dollars of gear that have a high resale value/demand and would put me at an elevated risk over the general public. Any feedback on if this type of good cause has been historically accepted by Paso Robles PD or the County Sheriff?

"fight" at the local level... well I don't see much of a movement or community outcry over this matter here, as far as I can tell. In this county, the current sheriff defers to the local municipalities to issue and if they do not he will then allow you to apply with his agency and may issue. I'm kind of surprised that its not more of a green county up here to be honest considering it's quite rural in ways, pretty conservative, and the kinds of public safety issues that do exist here. At any rate, I'm still just trying to find out info about the local municipalities and their stances on issue, as we have some new chiefs. Personally, I'd rather not get a denial on my record and then have to go up to the sheriff for a "maybe" issue. Maybe that's their game plan.
