There are many reasons applicants are denied the right to carry a hand gun, prior brushes with the law, inconsistent legal records or lack of need, however in San Diego it appears if they just don’t like you your conceal carry permit application it is stamped – DENIED.
It’s true California is a liberal state and as such keeps a close eye on the state’s gun owners, however, San Diego takes exception to what constitutes residency in order to prevent gun owners from legally carrying their weapon. As a result, Edward Peruta has filed a lawsuit against San Diego County and Sheriff William Gore – leveling some precedent-setting charges.
Peruta, a Connecticut native, owns home in several states (including California), calls himself a liberal Democrat and is a firm believer in the Second Amendment and finds it odd that he is having so many troubles in San Diego.
“I guess you could say my wife sums it up best, California seems to follow the ‘rules de jour,’” Peruta said.
His San Diego saga began when he and his wife decided to take their home on the road, a motor home that is. When the Peruta’s made the decision to travel across the country law enforcement officers encouraged him to carry a firearm for protection.

Isn’t that a big “if?”
For those who don’t have the time or resources for this legal kabuki dance......protect yourself!
Only Illegals and criminals can carry in Kalifornia.
Also cops and those employed as bodyguards by the privileged class.
But maybe this is just needless repetition...
A very important set of issues is the fact that San Diego Sheriff’s Department employees don’t know the very laws they are supposed to enforce. This constitutes “dereliction of duty” and “malfeasance of office” on their parts, a firing offense and a civil cause of action.
In other words, the employees are unqualified and should be either retrained or fired, or qualified employees hired.
The fact that the Sheriff doesn’t know the law is grounds for his immediate firing, i.e. the “malfeasance”.
Then he and the staff can be sued for a breach of constitutional rights.
Also, the plaintiff can ask the court for a “writ of mandamus” to order the Sheriff and his Dept. to fulfill their sworn duties, i.e. to do their jobs. Any failure to do so would be a “contempt of court” and would land the offenders in the pokey. Now that would be real justice.
San Diego, as the employer of the Sheriff and his staff, can also be sued as a party to this affair.
All I can say is “Sue, baby, sue.” Don’t settle for less than a million, the sheriff being fired, his staff being fined and retrained, and the local govt being embarrassed for being a bunch of leftist amateurs.
Once you’ve got them by the balls, don’t let go until they puke a couple times and holler “uncle.” As my high school’s unofficial football chant went: “We’ve got spirit, we’ve the got guts. We’ve got Poly by the nuts, pull team pull.”
This “liberal Democrat” sounds like he would be infinitely happier as a Libertarian.
Seems like I’ll be voting for Jay LeSuer who is running against Gore (coincidence with the name?).
My give a damn meter is broken. This guy and all his liberal buddies are the reason we’re in this fix in the first place.
Does this fit the parable as to who’s ox was gored?
