California lawmakers to get special status to carry concealed weapons

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - California lawmakers to get special status to carry concealed weapons (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 3/14/2011 11:20:49 AM EDT

Under current law Californians who want to carry concealed firearms must apply to their county sheriff or police chief and show "good cause" for permission. That can include threats of violence or a dangerous job. Under the new bill, being an elected state official or a member of Congress would constitute good cause

It will be interesting to see who decides what is considered a "dangerous" job, and what will be sufficient to constitute "good cause"

Hypocritical in gigantic proportions. BTW, why do they need to carry weapons? I thought gun control "worked"?

Some much for "equal protection" under the law.

That would be any Democrat lawmaker who feels threatened by the Tea Party and right wing extremists.

Fucking bastards, do as I say - not do as I do.

What if you feel threatened by your elected "representatives"? Does that count as a good cause?

He wants a gun to protect him from a little fisticuffs....

If threatened fisticuffs is how low they set the bar, anyone can get a CCW.

fucking hypocrites tyrants.

This law is tyranny in the flesh.

ETA: Someone submitted the following comment.

If the gun control these tyrants have imposed on the people of California works, there is no reason for them to go armed. If their restrictions on the liberties of the citizens do not work, they should be repealed and every law-abiding citizen should enjoy the "privilege" the legislators seek to claim for themselves.

This proposal reeks of hypocrisy and false elitism. Support for this measure should be a permanent disqualification from any office of power or trust.

Righteous revolutions have been built on less. Speed the plow.

From what I understand, it varies a lot by county. There are some counties where it's about as close as you can get to shall-issue, and then of course San Diego and LA are basically no-issue.

"quote"Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca objects to the idea, noting that elected officials should have to go through the same process that requires them to show good cause for the permit. And, in an unusual show of agreement, both gun rights and gun control advocates agree that elected officials should not have special status.

At least the LA sheriff understands.

A sufficient check to the Sheriff's reelection campaign is pretty much always good cause.

The Sheriff wants to keep everything quiet so he can control CCW to what he perceives as his advantage, politically speaking. These guys were infringing....on his territory.

I live 46 miles from the CA border. I studiously avoid travelling to CA unless I'm absolutely required to do so –– their gun laws have probably cost the state several thousand dollars from me alone.

Also, allowing the political elite to get preferential treatment could be used in future arguments for shall issue. I think the sheriff is trying to nip that in the bud, he's smarter than the politician. I think the politician could easily get the permit by applying in the correct county, and using some appropriate pressure.

Furthest West I have been is Texas, which I did not care for either. No plans or desire to go to California. Had a Californian work for me once. Met others and most seemed to be the same. Very goody two shoes, patronizing, judgmental, and God forbid they smelled a cigarette. It was like the end of the world. Sorry for the generalizations - just my experience.

There are lots of good people in CA, there are even places where you can get a CCW permit –– mostly in Northern CA.

I hope that's sarcasm, because that celebrity-courting cocksucker Baca gives permits to celebrities and poeple that line his election campaign pockets and no one else.
