Merced County sheriff scrutinized in gun lawsuit
« on: August 11, 2011, 10:07:52 AM »
 Merced County Sheriff Mark Pazin is one of several California sheriffs being scrutinized over his jurisdiction's concealed carry weapons permit process, and the issue has morphed into a lawsuit...

If you read the article, citizens sue the sheriffs department over their non compliance with the county's policies on issuing CCW permits.

Perhaps with enough backing, this will serve for a model to us in Hawaii.

I want to see how this one turns out.

Not in California. If you are rich or famous or know the right people, you too can have your very own concealed carry permit.

California has a standardized process that all sheriffs are supposed to use in considering CCW permits. The suit hinges on the Meced Sheriff requiring additional information and documents not a part of that standard process. The same Sheriff put in a clause (you have to qualifiy with each gun you plan to carry and can only qualify with a total of three guns) that if you modify one of those guns (even if it's a trigger job...) you void your CCW.

In some Counties of California, their process is close to a "shall issue" scheme. I think it was Sacramento that was involved in the Skykes case that settled when the Sheriff decided it was better to use the (for the most part) a shall issue process rather than going to court....Another "lax" county is Kern County, which incidentally has the most CCWs issued of any California County.
