Dark red has 3 subsections. The "dark side" of dark red is "No Issue." This is where CLEOs are flipping their middle finger at Salute v. Pitchess and the state courts. AFAIK, no counties currently do not issue. Even SF had 2 issued CCWs as of a year ago: https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local...232198382.html

To the green side of that is what I call "Corrupt Issue": that's what LA Co had under McDonnell where the state auditor found that out of 25 CCW applications audited, not a single one issued complied with his official CCW policy. Even if you satisfy the published GC requirements, you won't have a chance unless you fulfill whatever unpublished requirements the CLEO imposes.

The difference between the "light side" of dark red and light red is a matter of degree rather than of kind. For example, the amount of regular deposits from a business after normal business hours is greater for dark red. Or dark red may require that you be the business owner making the deposits whereas light red may require you to only be the manager. Dark red may require you to have been attacked and likely to be attacked in the future (think CGN's quarterboregunner), whereas light red may only require you to be a likely target or have been seriously threatened (with proof -- evidence of threat/s and police report/s, etc). Sonoma Co still has their old dark red GC standard posted:

Quote:
(a) There is an existing and significant threat of death or grave bodily injury to the applicant, or his/her immediate family, which cannot be reasonably avoided or adequately dealt with by existing law enforcement resources, and which threat would be significantly mitigated by the carrying of a concealed weapon.

(b) The applicant establishes that circumstances exist requiring him or her to transport in public significant amounts of valuable, or inherently dangerous property, which would be impractical to entrust to the protection of an armored car or equivalent service for the safe transportation of valuables.
