Peruta applies to local agencies?

[svthuh]

My local PD is not a "refer to sheriff" agency, so instead of dealing with the LASD which will likely be useless until they themselves are sued into cooperation, I was considering applying with my local PD.

So, the Peruta decision should apply to every issuing agency, right?

Technically no, Peruta invalidated the policy of SDSD regarding good cause. If another jurisdiction wanted to they could still refuse and be sued and quickly lose. This is my understanding of how it works. I suggest contacting the PD and asking them how they are going to proceed on good cause statements.

Good advice.. I may just have to contact them on Monday.

You have to go through the local PD, and you've got to have a better shot with the locals than LASD, so go. If they turn you down, then you can turn to LASD.

I thought it affected all agencies within the 9th district...?

He's being technically correct.

In practice, all but hardcore anti issuing LEAs willing to pay for their own lawyers and the plaintiff's lawyers fees (and more), will capitulate once Peruta appeals are either exhausted or expired (not acted upon in timely manner). They'll run for cover from being sued by going judicial Shall Issue.

You do not have to go to the local PD first.

It's why I said technically no, my understanding is that the ruling overturns the SDSD policy on accepting good cause. If another jurisdiction wanted to yank our chains they could still deny good cause. CGF/SAF or the NRA would then quickly sue that policy and that jurisdiction would lose and possible pay the lawyer fees. Non-lawyer understanding.
