I'm curious as well.

Quite a few people wouldn't be too sad if US Marshals showed up at her office with a federal warrant.

It would be great if this would coincide with the events from the "Any Updates on Cal-Guns fight against the High Cap magazine ban..." thread in the main 2A forum.

Getting a CCW with standard(high) capacity magazines in Santa Clara County would be quite the impressive feat.

Don't be greedy! One thing at a time, starting with Santa Clara County CCW!

Quite true. What's the use of a 15 round mag that I can only use at the range?

Can one of the people in the know respond back and tell us SCC CCW is 2 weeks away still? Just so we know we haven't been forgotten about.

Anyone been reading the "good cause" statements for other counties? I certainly haven't read them all, but I see a lot of "I own my own business, carry large sums of cash (or valuable equipment), and travel through bad parts of town at odd hours" type statements. I'm having a tough time visualizing how I would adapt most of these statements to my current situation.

For the majority of us who probably don't own a business and who probably live in a somewhat decent part of town and try to avoid the bad areas, I'm wondering if there will be a good cause statement that doesn't require some very creative wording....

I'm very interested in the next steps but I'm not so sure the publication of GC Statements automatically equates to you buying your carry piece. Somehow I think there will be more to it than that. I don't think Sheriff Smith is going to just start doling out CCW's!

I would like to hear from the conspicuously silent Brandon on what the next steps will be once GC Statements are available. Do we find one that was approved that hopefully is similar to our own situation and apply? And if we are rejected then sue? Or something entirely different. I just don't know.



PS: I think you are the shortsighted one. I already have my three carry pieces, ready to list on my application. What have you been doing the past few years during all the hype and build up?

I'm betting that Peruta screwed us because in that case, they ruled (in essence, as I recall) that "equal protection" as applied to the CCW process only works when both the written GC statement and the oral interview contain essentially the same things.

If there's no formal record of the oral interviews then the SD can claim, without any evidence, that what you said in your oral interview differs substantially from what was said in the oral interview of the person whose good cause statement you're using as a basis for yours. And since they're a law enforcement agency, I'm sure they will be taken at their word on that.

If there is a formal record of the interview, then as long as the record isn't a full recording of the interview itself, the information that gets recorded will be at the discretion of the interviewer, and that means the interviewer can ensure that what they record for your is not the same as what was recorded for the person you're using as a reference for your good cause statement.


No, I strongly suspect (but have no proof) that we're pretty much done in Santa Clara and other "stronghold" counties. I strongly suspect that Peruta put a spike through the heart of any "equal protection" challenges that might be brought forth.

That means we have to wait for Richards or some other case to hit the Supreme Court (you don't really think the 9th is going to rule in our favor in Richards, do you?). And even after that, as long as the Sheriff has any discretion, they'll use it against us. For instance, they may have to accept "self defense" as a good cause statement, but that does not mean that they can't refuse to issue on the basis of "good moral character". And Richards doesn't touch on that at all that I know of.

Then not to sound totally bitter (which I will), but here's hoping for cuts to the Sheriff's department similar to what's being talked about for the SJPD. Since they have no duty to protect us and won't let us protect ourselves then here's to hoping we get rid of most of them and maybe spend our money elsewhere...

Oh, and thanks Peruta. Thanks so much....

Only one problem with your statement, kc: You're assuming that all counties do personal interviews.

Then you haul the licensee who was approved into court during a trial and examine, and you then haul the interviewer and their command staff who made the decision and you pull them into the witness stand.

That was, I believe, the critical mistake of the Peruta case, when there's facts in dispute, you always want a trial to flesh out the facts. This is why the Perry case involving Proposition 8 worked out so well for the plaintiffs, because they had a trial.

Brandon went into great detail in another Peruta thread about "giving San Diego enough rope to hang the plaintiff". That is precisely what happened there. Guillory v. Gates, at it's core, was about not being able to put the Sheriff and his employees on the witness stand to question about equal protection issues and oral interviews.

Richards actually does deal with good moral character. You're also forgetting the Nordyke factor.

And get them during the questioning how, exactly? This all becomes a matter of "he said, she said", and statements by LEOs/LEAs are always given greater weight than those by ordinary people.

Why do you think that is how it will play out, particularly when (a) the court will give greater weight to the statements of the LEOs/LEAs than to those of normal people and (b) the LEOs/LEAs have plenty of reason to lie through their teeth, and can get away with it as long as they're consistent with whatever happens to be on record?

At this rate, we're likely to have Constitutional carry here in California long before Nordyke actually gets decided.

I'm betting all the "stronghold" ones do, because they're going to do everything they can to make the process as annoying and painful as possible, and to give themselves as much excuse as possible to reject your application.

Interestingly enough, though, Santa Clara doesn't appear to be such a county. And that really makes one wonder what's holding things up there, doesn't it?

That's not the point. The point being is that in county where only the politically powerful have licenses, the same politically powerful individuals, who will get subpoenas hauling them into court to testify as to interactions with the sheriff's office when they applied for their licenses, will make phone calls to the sheriff's re-election campaign and demand that the sheriff settle or else they pull the fundraising for themselves, their friends and colleagues, etc. Unless they are true died in the wool anti-gunners, they want to protect their families as much as any of the "normal folk", and will not tolerate being questioned in court. That's probably one of the bigger reasons Brad Gates settled in Orange County.

Chess, not checkers.

Btw, the gathering of good cause data is independent of equal protection litigation (of which I'm not aware of any such litigation in particular with Santa Clara). Such litigations would have such good cause data, under seal with full names, whereas the CGF Initiative Effort purely wants the good cause out there without the use of names or other personally identifying data.

Let's be clear here: The Peruta litigation has zero to do with the release of the redacted good cause. None whatsoever.

We're delving into a realm of speculation about equal protection, given the cryptic statements of Billy Jack in terms of his website and his "Do you know the way to San Jose". Let's make sure we separate out those issues in our discussions, OK?

absolutely, i'm just on the slippery slope of wishful thinking. baby steps, baby steps...

is there any use in applying now, knowing it will likely be rejected? that is, can we learn anything useful? is there a desire to have rejected CCW applicants from various socioeconomic and political backgrounds?

lol, paying student loans! i have a suitable carry piece in that it's reliable and nasty things come out the front, but it's also a full-size 1911. mmm, but i could get an HK.45C or build a bobtailed commander 1911...

In my experience full-size 1911's are not difficult to CCW whatsoever.

Get a good CCW carry rig and practice carrying it around in your home or wherever else it's legal to do so.

That is a consideration in our favor, to be sure.

I can't say how likely it is that any such person is going to be willing to testify in court in order to keep their privilege "special", but I would imagine that the motivation to do so is significant. Possibly not as significant as the motivation to avoid testifying, however...

Remember that the sitting sheriff will be explaining to the politically powerful people in question that if he capitulates, they lose their "special" status as regards CCW. And those politically powerful people wouldn't want to be around a bunch of ordinary joes carrying firearms, now would they?

You appear to misunderstand why I tie the "good cause" initiative and "equal protection" cases together the way I do. In a "may issue" environment, the prospect (or, perhaps, outcome) of an "equal protection" suit is the only incentive an anti-gun sheriff would have to issue a CCW permit to a "non-special" person when said person's "good cause" statement is the same as that of one of the "special" people who have already been issued to.

Were it not for that, the sheriff would be able to deny the permit of the "non special" person even if that person's "good cause" were identical to that of someone who was issued a permit. Which is to say, the "sunshine initiative" can't do any real good without the "equal protection" teeth behind it. It can't help politically because sitting sheriffs are essentially undefeatable at the polls.

Unless, of course, there's something critical that I'm missing here...

Somebody help me with my ignorance, but what exactly is the driving force causing counties such as Sacramento and perhaps even our county of Santa Clara to move to a "shall issue" stance on CCW? It's certainly not out of the kindness of their heart

The non and very limited issue sheriffs and chiefs of police are breaking the law and violating the Constitution, mostly the sections that have to do with equal protection and due process, but there are many other areas of violation/non-compliance.

Reading this http://calgunsfoundation.org/index.p...ccw-initiative should give you a start on all the issues involved.

Brandon, can you shed some light on what is going on? You wrote the above on 12/8, almost three months ago! I can't imagine it is taking this long to redact and scan especially when you previously thought it would take a couple weeks (by not saying 2 weeks you seem to have actually meant it).

I suspect you guys are holding the GC statements back for some reason. Can you let us in on the secret?

Alternatively, do you need more volunteers to work on redacting the applications?

Sorry for the delay, but you'll understand soon why I say that I can't comment much on this for now...

Living in Mountain View, I just called to have the department mail me their CCW policy. Should I hold off following up with them directly until I see something posted here?

Not commenting directly on your question, plz do provide us a copy of what you receive... I also am in Mountain View and am well interested in what they claim their policy is.

Should we start getting our applications ready?

Can you hint how soon "soon" is? Don't say two weeks.

Looks like they haven't published an opinion yet this year. Any idea on how long this usually takes?

It's been 2 weeks, out with it!

Seriously though, is CGF in possession of the documents or is the SO not providing them?

Could someone elaborate on what this means for those of use that are not familiar with how these questions/opinions work. Was there more information or background that would have been submitted with this "question" which would establish some sort of legal question? Obviously, the submitters suspect/believe that there is something illegal about the situation, but it certainly isn't clear what that is based on the very general question. Are the legal requirements/qualifications for being the Santa Clara SO documented somewhere?

We have the good cause statements, and they will be published shortly now.
