Mr. Bloomberg, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
The anti-gun left will be increasing the pressure on Barry to do something with his pen or his phone to protect them from all those evil California gun owners who will want to exercise their right to carry.
You are using Latin; the “forbidden language” of the American System. Have you studied for The Bar? I recall hearing that JFK jr had to take that test (at least) four times before he “got a passing grade”. You noticed I didn’t say he actually passed the test. I was still impressed that he was ambitious enough to try.
NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE AND NO FLOOD OF PERMITS ARE GOING TO BE APPROVED.....and this is why.
Ca Penal Code Section 12050
12050. (a) (1) (A) The sheriff of a county, upon proof that the person applying is of good moral character, that good cause exists for the issuance, and that the person applying satisfies any one of the conditions specified in subparagraph (D) and has completed a course of training as described in subparagraph (E), may issue to that person a license to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person in either one of the following formats:
The Subsections to this article address other issues but
Paragraph A is the guiding directive. The KEY word in this
paragraph is the word MAY....the code says the chief LEO
MAY issue a permit. It does not say SHALL. All the
9th circus courts ruling did was to delete the phrase regarding good cause from this code. It does not change
the word MAY to SHALL. Only the legislature can make that change. Unless and until such a change IS made, and that is VERY unlikely California remains a MAY ISSUE state not a SHALL ISSUE state. That means that the decision to issue or not issue is at the SOLE discretion of
the chief LEO involved. The recent court decision ONLY means that said LEO may not use the phrase regarding good
cause as a reason to refuse to issue. He can still refuse
to issue a permit....and he isnt required to give a reason.
Lawmen can sometimes be a bit more commonsensical about such things. Especially when they get a chance to their peers about it. I bet he talked to a few other sheriffs and they gave him “the solid and right on” about it.
BTTT!
