Unless you're a famous movie star or the nephew of the county sheriff, you can forget about getting a CCW in LA county. It just isn't going to happen.How difficult is it for a citizen to get one in the Los Angeles county?
Here's a letter to the L.A. Times I penned day before yesterday regarding a Times editorial about loaded carry in a vehicle and the recent freeway shootings:
Editor:
Once again, the Times lets its rabidly anti-gun agenda disinform its readers ("Just Your Average Mayhem" editorial of 5/4/05). One would get the impression from your piece that back in 1987 that dastardly old NRA was successful in quashing proposed legislation making the transport of a loaded firearm in the passenger compartment of a vehicle a felony. And that somehow today such a thing is legal. The Times needs to check its facts and the law before making such misleading and downright false assertions. In the state of California a firearm may only be legally transported in a vehicle for a lawful purpose (e.g., hunting or firing range visit) if it is unloaded in a locked container not within reasonable reach of the driver and separated from ammunition or loaded ammunition feeding devices. It may not be secreted in a glove compartment nor in a compartment between the front seats. The only persons who may legally carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle are duly sworn law enforcement officers or holders of a valid California Concealed Carry Weapon permit (CCW). The latter is virtually impossible to obtain in Los Angeles County unless one is in the entertainment business, or a famous politician, or substantial political donor. It must be issued by a local police chief or sheriff at their discretion and for a compelling reason (e.g., credible threat to life, business carrying large sums of cash or jewelry, etc.).
Of course, the cowardly gang banging thugs who are performing these supposedly random acts of domestic terrorism pay ever so much attention to the draconian gun laws of California, don't they.
