Would this qualify for a CCW

[five.five-six]

best GC would be to get a job as a famous actor, or big anti AII legislator, that will get you a CCW every time

I have documented attack on file and was still told to not even bother filing. I have no desire to mess up my RKBA so I am not going to do anything stupid. Just sucks is all that even with two very good reasons the chances of my getting a CCW is nil. I am so looking forward to seeing a new sheriff come in to play here.

Someone else suggested knife yes I carry one as for mace I don't carry that.

Vote for Sheriff Jay. He is pro/shall-issue CCW. Since you cannot legally CCW, I would suggest you carry the Kimber Pepperblaster and a legal open-assisted knife.

So I am just curious, out of everyone who is giving this guy advice. Who has actually applied for a CCW?

Good point.

Take a CCW class, have instructor stamp application, turn in application and if denied, take legal action.

+1! Until we have a "shall issue" state, this will be the only legal way of dealing with the situation.

or big anti AII legislator, that will get you a CCW every time

sure gets results though...

[Hayashi Killian]

Yeah, that works great. Take on an organization with practically unlimited funds.

You might have $50K+ sitting around burning a hole in your pocket, but most people don't.

That and since it's a shall-issue, the law works against you. You really can't sue to get a CCW since the law is already quite clear on it.

It seems like there are so many rumors of CCWs being denied. But I personally have not seen any data or reliable information to go on that CCWs are denied more in California/San Diego than any other state.

Like Greg-Dawg said, apply and see what happens.

You can listen to these people on here who constantly tell you that you need political ties and +50K in your checking account. Or you can just apply and take legal action if you are denied for no good constitutional reason.

It seems like everyone who is trying to discourage you from applying for a CCW has no idea what they are talking about, just my opinion.

So I presume that you have a CCW from San Diego county?

what is shall-issue?

[nativeofsandiego]

So I presume that you have a CCW from San Diego county?

No I don't. But I don't see the use in spreading useless rumors about data that no solid source. Thats just me...

[CalNRA]

No I don't. But I don't see the use in spreading useless rumors about data that no solid source. Thats just me...

so you, someone who doesn't have a CCW from SD county, are telling people that CCW in CA/San Diego is no worse than any other states, which I assume including the 39 or so states that have shall-issue.

Am I hearing this right?

Let me put it this way: In Oregon, a person with no criminal record can expect to go to the local PC and get a CCW without worrying about the "good cause".

is that true of CA/San Diego, in you experience? Do you know people with CCW in San Diego? Because I know people who live in San Diego county, far away from city of San Diego who want but cannot get a CCW. A very good family friend of ours tried for years to get a CCW. but his 25 examplary years in the US Navy and excellent personal character were not good enough.

[nativeofsandiego]

so you, someone who doesn't have a CCW from SD county, are telling people that CCW in CA isn't as hard as people say it is to get.

Am I hearing this right?

Quote me where I said that it wasn't hard or difficult.

I said I have not seen any data or hard evidence to support it. Meaning, rumors (everything I have read in this thread) are worth pretty much nothing. You have no data to support that it's difficult nor any data to say that it is not difficult. Hence, it is useless for those to talk about how difficult and impossible it is when no one has any information besides worthless comments on a forum.

do you know what happens when you get a denial on your CCW application in regards to your later attempts?

tell you what, why don't you apply and show us that we are all a bunch of negative nay-sayers for no good reason. I would love to be proven wrong, so would 5-6 of our family friends.

[CalNRA]

...

so you don't have any first hand info/experience in regards to CCW in San Diego county. AM I hearing this right?

I will repeat it again, I would love to be prove wrong. Why don't you show us how wrong our "rumors" are by applying and getting a CCW first hand. Until then I will trust my family friends more than someone who never applied.

[nativeofsandiego]

so you don't have any first hand info/experience in regards to CCW in San Diego county. AM I hearing this right?

Okay, for those who apparently cannot read. Meaning you CalNRA.

For the second time, no I have not applied or been denied for a CCW in California. But again, my whole point is that there is no point in listening to rumors about the impossibility of obtaining a permit when there is no hard data to support such claims. Is that simple enough?

so if you haven't applied, why are you so sure that the rumors of impossibility to get a CCW in San Diego county is not worth listening to? Do you have hard data to disprove it?

Since I'm the simpleton who cannot read here, please bear with me and help me to understand where your expertise comes from.

Or you can prove us to be miserably wrong and apply.
