Apple wants their private security force to be allowed concealed carry permits.

Police dept says: Since we are in California the 2nd amendment does not apply. We May Not ever issue any CC permits or it might take a few years (unless you make it worth our while.)

Apple exec says have some Ipads, and football suite tickets so you can have a meeting about modernizing and expediting your process. Permits get issued and Apple exec gets arrested for bribery.

Police department still investigating itself to see if anyone did anything wrong.

“FORCED” in the sense that it’s nearly impossible to get carry permits in Calif... it’s totally ridiculous

Not impossible in California. It's a matter of the local jurisdiction's discretion. California is a "may issue" state. Many California cities and counties treat that as "shall issue" and permits are easy to get. Some, pretty much in the big cities, won't give any out.

Okay for them...but not for me.

Old story...my dad owned a store in Placentia, CA...

He got a CCL.....I know he knew cops in Anaheim...I think he said he knew the Placentia, Chief too.

Apple needs to move to Fresno. Margret Mims the Fresno County Sheriff has a great CCW policy. She even wrote a letter to Obama telling him to go pound sand about his illegal gun grab. She told him that she was not enforce an illegal order.

I live next to a high end gated community with armed guards and security patrols.. it’s the Democrat elite, former politicians and liberals.

I just observe the hypocrisy.

The “discretion “ in this case was the undersheriff soliciting a bribe to get a CC permit.

That is what mortars were built for.

Why do security guards need to hide their weapons to do their job? One would think that a visible weapon would be a good deterrent.

But this is Kalifornia, maybe the guards would be less likely to have their weapons stolen from them if the criminals couldn’t see them.

I was only responding to the comment that permits are impossible to get in California.

The democrats want the people disarmed so they can kill those that oppose them. That is why the obstacles to getting a weapons permit.

This is very likely true. They also will not like the Fresno TV stations with their ads for farm equipment, fertilizer, and seeds.
