If you live in Orange County, CA, Sheriff Carona implemented his new CCW policies 4/1/99 as he had promised. I have turned in my application, the following are the requirements for obtaining the license as stated in the application form:
1. Residency: All applicants must prove that they are residents of the County of Orange. Non-residents will be referred to the appropriate licensing agency.
2. Good Character: Applicants must attest to a reputation of good character with respect to their ability to responsibly and safely carry and use a concealed weapon. (letters from reputable references may help in establishing good character.)
3. Good Cause: Applicants must establish that good cause exists to support the request for a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Criteria that MAY establish good cause include the following*:
a. Specific evidence that there has been or is likely to be an attempt on the part of a second party to do great bodily harm to the applicant.
b. The nature of the business or occupation of the applicant is such that it is subject to high personal risk and/or criminal attack.
c. A task of the business or occupation of the applicant requires frequent transportion of large sums of money or other valueables and alternative protective measures or security cannot be reasonably employed.
d. When a business or occupation is of a high risk nature and requires the applicant's presence in a dangerous environment and/or area.
e. The occupation or business of the applicant is such that no means of protection, security or risk avoidance, other than carrying a concealed firearm, is practical.
f. Personal protection is warranted to mitigate a threat that the applicant is able to substantiate.
*Note: These examples are not intended to be all-inclusive. They are provided for your reference.

I had applied under the reasoning that as a property manager, I need to collect rents and fees on a somewhat predictable schedule and therefore a likely target for a criminal attack. These are the documentations I have been asked to supply:
-Proof of cash transaction - Letter from the bank manager.
-3 months bank statements
-Proof of residency - Utility bills.
I'll keep the forum up to date on how everything progresses. It isn't shall issue, but in CA, this is better than most anywhere in CA.

) and, I don't have "good cause". As I told Walter, I'll wait for a bit and hopefully they will have forgotten me. We do have a serious problem in that our State Sen. Jack O'Connell is an unabashed liberal and very anti-gun, as well Lois Capps is our Congressperson....if Hedges does ease up, these 2 will give him no end of hassles.
