AS a life-long Californian, a staunch Regan Republican, and a gun owner, I just wanted folks of FR to know that as regards guns, CA is far from monolithic. There seems to be some legal distinction between counties with less than 200,000 population as opposed to one’s with more than that number as the laws apply to LTC permits. Both Sacramento and neighboring Yolo counties were sued over the same nonsense that the 9Th Circuit just ruled. Surprisingly, Sacramento ( which has 1.5 million residents) capitulated and is now issuing LTC permits to those who ask and are otherwise not prevented from having them. But the sheriff in Yolo ( pop. 208,000) is still fighting the suit, and therein lies our problem. “Sheriffs” and I use quotes because these people fail the test of what a sheriff is supposed to be, in the more populous counties are shills for the liberal establishment there. I have a good friend ( and pistol champion ) who lives in Sonoma County (where the sheriff won’t issue permits) but within a couple of miles of Mendocino County where the sheriff will issue. Both counties have substantial rural areas, but the major cities in Sonoma are liberal bastions (Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Sonoma) so he’s screwed ( for now) unless he wants to move up the road. Most of us are waiting to see how this litigation shakes out. I am quite certain that the local constabulary will have some interim way to deny me a permit until they are finally forced to, and so all you would get for your trouble is unwanted police surveillance for applying.
