Although its an unconstitutional pain in the a**, one can get a carry permit in California outside of the urban/suburban counties in which one really does need to pack.

She doesn't recommend that people carry a gun or keep one in the home if they aren't prepared to use it.

Interesting take on the old myth.

About 20 years ago, a Marysville man intervened in a domestic situation and pointed his gun at a man beating a woman, resulting in the loss of his permit to carry. The sheriff said she decided just recently to reissue the permit.

Good grief, what was he supposed to do, let the guy beat her? In Washington state he could have shot the b@stard.

"When "bad guys" don't know who's carrying, crime is deterred, Black said."

Why is this simple bit of common sense so difficult for liberals to comprehend?

....- and that's just fine with local sheriffs

How nice of the Sheriffs to be fine with me exercising MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT

Interesting article pointing out the reasonable and Constitutional restrictions in place in that county.

[coloradan]

applicants are asked in a sheriff's department interview why they feel a need to carry a gun. [...] Black said she is more likely to grant a permit to someone who has a general concern about personal safety than a person who's upset about a specific threat to his or her safety.

WTF?! A "reasonable need" must be articulated, but those who have nebulous feelings about safety get permits and those with specific threats do not? As usual for Kalifornistan, this is completely backwards. (Assuming the State should have any basis for denials in the first place, which I disagree with.)
