California...What a joke
In 2007, I moved to California from Florida (where I have a CCW permit).
I was astounded at the stupid CCW laws in California. The state is not a "shall issue" state. As a result, the decisions to issue/not-issue are left up to the local authorities. What a joke. There are less than a handful of counties that will even consider issuing a CCW.
Individual rights and freedoms do not exist in California, with the exception of illegal aliens.
We moved out of California to Nevada, partly because of the CCW issue(s). I now have a Nevada and Utah CCW permit to go with my Florida permit (we have a second home in Fla.)
