Assuming they’re accurate Kalifornia almost never issues CCWs.
I’m from California but left a long time ago. Concealed carry permits are issued by county sheriffs. If you get one, it’s good for the whole state. Rural sheriffs do issue permits. Urban sheriffs, very rarely. Four years ago, only 220 permits were current in L.A. county, and of them only 50 were issued to residents. 19 years ago, San Francisco, a city and county, had issued 5.
Just found a website that has stats that are a few years old.
CCW Permits By State
These stats,if accurate are,when adjusted by population,are very,very revealing.Among the figures that surprise me most are Vermont's...one of the most Maoist states has about the most lenient gun laws.
