In any case, the sheriffs of non-issuing counties raise the merry devil whenever a sheriff who issues gets noticed for it. There used to be a sheriff in some county like Inyo or Kern counties, or one of those other counties more in central California a long time ago who would easily issue permits, but he started getting threatened with the withholding of state funds if he kept it up.WildBill wrote:The CCW is issued by the county, but is valid throughout the state. Most sheriffs and police chiefs won't issue permits for residents of other counties.
I recall that the San Francisco DA said that he wouldn't recognize CCWs from other counties and would procecute anyone that was carrying a concealed handgun. This is illegal, of course, but that wouldn't stop him from trying.
The bottom line is, your time would probably be better spent on other endeavors.
Ho hum ...back to cleaning my EMP!! I really do hope that CA gets its act together. When I go to my range out there...Discount Gun....nice friendly folks, etc...and they commeserate with out of state visitors.
Why does Texas recognize CA CCW...?
Perhaps Charles can answer this question...I think other states should recipocate or nothing.

IANAL ... But, the way I read the Texas law, Gov. Perry has no choice under statute but to offer reciprocity. I think the way to approach this issue is through our representatives and senators--I agree that if Texas will recognize, than Texas should be recognized....and trust me, MY state reps know my thoughts on the issue.
