When I moved to Sacramento 6 years ago, I was told that getting a permit was near impossible, and it was true. Two years ago, when I heard the Sheriff tell people to apply and see what happens, I did and was denied for "lack of Good Cause." Now, thanks to the organizations and lawyers behind Heller, McDonald and Sykes, I have a brand new California permit. And, my good cause statement was two words: Self Defense. If you live where you can't carry, never give up hope, because if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. Thanks, Rob
