My apologies I didn't mean it wasn't possible to get one, I was meaning most areas don't allow them or give them out.
I have family and friends in California and have been told countless times most county's in California do not give them out, including gunsmiths and dealers, as well as NRA instructors that have moved here from California due to getting denied permits. Glad you guys have them. But my information is not made up. This is common on gun forums too, residents getting denied for no reason.
In no way trying to argue. You live there. I don't.
It is my understanding that you can get one in California but the vast majority of counties are not a "shall issue" county; and most of the states that are not shall issue deny the majority of the applications including throwing them in the garbage without even looking them over.
Everyone should have their ccw permit:thumbup:
