CA: Orange Co. Sheriff changes concealed carry permitting to de facto “shall issue” in wake of Peruta

 http://www.imenu.com/oc1.gif

At least one law enforcement agency in California is changing the way it grants concealed carry permits as a direct result of Peruta v. San Diego.

The Orange County Sheriff’s department is dropped the “good cause” requirement yesterday, and is adopting a policy that sounds a lot more like a voluntary “shall issue” process (my bold below):

The Orange County sheriff loosened requirements Wednesday for obtaining a concealed-weapons permit in light of a recent federal appellate court decision that deemed many urban counties in California to be overly restrictive in saying who can and can’t carry a concealed weapon.

Local applicants seeking a permit to carry a concealed weapon now only have to say that they need one for self-defense or personal safety.
