What issue could unite a Republican lawmaker from Southern California and a 46-year-old lesbian from Natomas?
Guns, of course.
A bill introduced in the state Assembly last month aims to make it easier for Californians to obtain a concealed weapons permit.

That comment makes me furious!
True. I used to be a cop and most brass in CA don’t want the “civilians” carrying.
My eyes must not be working properly today. I could have sworn I read that an easing on obtaining a CCW in CA is being proposed!!! Did the world just turn upside down?
What a BS argument, talk about a strawman. How about this a-hole; if Brown or Goldman had been armed OJ would be a dead attempted murderer. And no he would not be eligible since he had a prior history of domestic abuse which is a disqualifier.
My 82-year-old mom and 89-year-old stepdad both carry. Both aced their targeting tests two weeks ago when renewing. God bless both of them!!
Right after Obumbum becomes an albino!
Politics does create strange bedfellows.
Having the gun and having the skill to use it well in a life or death situation are two different things. If OJ had a gun and his wife a gun as well as my ccw course she'd be a rich widow today. Think she might want that chance? Why don't we ask the victims in the California crime statistics database if they'd have liked to have had the option of carrying a concealed handgun under training before they'd been victimized? There's bound to be tons of assumption here, many of those victims (like Nicole Simpson) are deceased.
Chiefs and Sheriffs are not LEO’s, they are first and foremost politicans looking to further their own cause.
There have been “shall issue” bills before and this one will most likely be DOA like the rest of them.

They have not struck out the good cause portion in the entirety of the bill and here always is the good moral character loop hole.
This bill is in its infancy and needs quite a bit more tightening up. It still is a glimmer of hope but I will believe it when I see its on governors desk
That is the sign my wife carried during the 2nd Amendment Sisters counterprotest to the Million Mom March in 2000.
It was a big hit with the rank and file L.A.Co Sheriffs Deputies. and LAPD.
the juice might have killed his wife or some craziness like that. Its a good thing that he didn’t have a gun, who knows what would have happened
O.J. was able to carry a pistol. Granted, he would have been in violation of the law. I can only think of two reason why he didn't:
1) He didn't wish to.
2) He wanted to, but was deterred from doing so by his respect and/or fear of the law.
Given what we know of the man, I think we can cross #2 off the list. That only leaves #1.
Nicely put. And I have a stock answer for the law enforcement administrators who seem chronically afraid of an armed public: "You're fired."
That is exactly what it does. It strikes the good cause clause, at least according to the link YOU posted.
It’s time for a Heller lawsuit.
Why do they need a targeting test?
Read farther down. They strike the “good cause” initially in SEC. A but leave it in SEC B and C. Thats why I said its in its infancy and needs work
Correct. Personal protection is ALL there is.
Yes.
