The sheriff, and others like him, should not be ignoring the law. Why have y'all let him slide for so long? Why do you let the others slide.
The CA CC laws are wrote in such a manner that gives almost absolute discretion to Sheriffs. There are what, 57 counties in CA? That's 57 different approaches to those laws.
CA does not have a 2A analog in their constitution. Even after
Heller, what was anyone to do? The CA Supreme Court had already ruled (some time ago) that the Federal 2A was a collective right, as had the 9th Circuit.
McDonald is barely a year old. It has taken time and many resources to put together the many challenges that we are seeing, including this one.
Together with the CalGuns Foundation, and a newly re-energized and re-organized CA Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA - the CA arm of the NRA), they are now making inroads.
The constant sarcasm and outright animosity leveled against CA as a State, although justified in many cases, cannot be justified here. Here, tens of thousands of CA gunnies have come together, put aside their differences, and are working together to bring 2A rights to a State whose Legislators (and people) are mostly anti-gun.
Instead of the sarcasm, the rest of us would do well to learn from these folks, fighting for their rights.
