California CCW license.....
 

How difficult is it to get approved? I have heard LA is very strict on handguns in general?

Almost impossible in LA

depends on the county but generally its pretty hard in ca.

try culver city you can get it there

It is a state permit correct? reciprocity in all counties?

Back in the day, yes. But they have a new police chief there and he has never issued one.

Its -extremely- hard to get a CCW in the state of california. My dad had one because he owned a bail enforcement agency, and that was still a pain in the ass.

You pretty much have to prove you carry around insane amounts of cash or jewelry or something in order to have any kind of shot. California is about as Nazi as it comes when it comes to gun laws or self protection in general. No knives or batons or anything.

Good thing you can rely on the cops to protect you at all times. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

How do they view out of state licenses?

almost impossible unless your an actor or are in the good graces of the sherriff.. I left there in May fuck the CCW LAWS CAME TO AZ NO PROBLEM..

Exactly, it's an 8 hour class, sit through it and you've got yourself a permit. I don't like that they just dropped it though, used to be 16 hours and include a shooting test. The good places still make you shoot to get it though. California sucks for a lot of reasons like this.

If that is all it takes to get people to move from here I am all for it.

I can't find any indication that they do honor them, but have found a few sites that said they don't.

opencarry.org has all your answers. educate yourself

They will let you spend all the money you can....Then tell you, you do not qualify for a CCW license. That is how they work in L.A.

yup! thats for sure, also if you do come by one it is only for 2yrs after u have spend almost 5 bills to do so.. oh n the doctors visit to see if ur sane.
