County with Biggest Decrease in CCW Wait Times in 2018?

[Citadelgrad87]

Several counties currently accept self-defense as good cause. I have listed many of them.

There is another thread with the CCW map. Orange County is light green. There are several counties that are dark green. That isn't a perfect map. For instance, Monterey County is dark green, but has several extra requirements. I would take Orange County (light green) over Monterey County (dark green).

Still, there are other counties (like Sacramento and Fresno) that are dark green, issue quickly, and are large counties like Orange.

Orange County has done great things in transforming other counties in southern California. They can still get better.

That does not make the action legal. Look, my guess is you dislike it when leftists ignore the law and do what they want. The law is the law. If and when the Democrats in Sacramento realize that "good cause" is being ignored, they have the votes and a willing governor to spell out something specific that prohibits counties from doing that.

2 things I will submit:

1) The Democrats in Sacramento already know this is going on. There have literally been several articles about Scott Jones' policies in the Sacramento media.

2) Good Cause is not being ignored. That is the position of the sheriffs in these counties. They are saying that personal protection IS the good cause.

Currently, the law gives the county sheriffs latitude with what they accept as good moral character and good cause. There is literally nothing that says self-defense cannot be accepted as good cause in 26510 or in the Peruta decision.

Ultimately, We (I believe) have the same goal and that is to get as many good people as possible who can carry. I think we just disagree with the best course of action.

I have heard they might be slowly getting better. Still, you have a long ways to go!

Is it Riverside County which went from 2 year wait times to 2-3 month wait times over the course of this year?

Orange County went from 6 months to 1-2 months after going online is in second place?

Does Riverside win the 2018 CCW award?

Riverside is NOT at 2-3 months. I know people that are in the process and the deputies that are working the CCW unit. It's 1 year minimum, if you are lucky. That number was going down but then they had a bunch of us that had to renew.

There is a new sheriff in Riverside. He has promised to improve the CCW situation. We will see.

Riverside is down to a month or two for new appointments.

I called 11/23, got an appointment 1/4. I will be picking up my permit tommorow.

Orange County is truly the model for the state of what every county should be as far as CCW issuance is concerned. We have our new sheriff to thank for that. Don Barnes is going to be great!

They should all model it after the city of Taft here in Kern County. Got mine approved in 7 days. No interview. Just class, application, 7 days, permit.
