First, no law abiding citizen should need a permit to carry any piece of personal property that poses no passive threat to any other person.

Second, I was wondering if the more enterprising of California's counties could put into place a "shall issue" policy for any law abiding resident of California who comes looking for a permit. While this would be a major hassle and inconvenience for many people, it might be a major money-maker for these counties.

Some time back I believe the Police Chief of Lodi did just that. It wasn't long before the legislature changed the law so that one could only obtain a permit from his city or county of residence.
