Can one get a carry permit in Bakersfield? (Kern County, was it?)
Used to be a pretty gun-friendly, country kind of town.
No. I have lived here almost all my life and applied a couple of times for a carry permit and was turned down each time. 30 years ago I was closing a nightclub every night and leaving with the nights till. Was followed from the parking lot numerous times, once couldn’t shake the guy and drove to the front of the police station, got out and went in. As the cop walked out with me the guy drove by. Once I got home and about 10 minutes later heard a knock on the door. Looked and it was a guy who was in the club earlier, he had followed me and I didn’t know it.
I have a gun that I carry when doing anything other than normal errands. I’d rather be in jail than dead......frick em.
Also these attacks are in a really bad more or less hispanic part of town., apartment buildings.
