Thank God I live in Kern County. You can't be elected sherrif here if you are not liberal with issuing permits. You have to have a reason, but I don't think they look too closely at your reason for needing the CCW. Mine took 2 months and $156. (plus a training class).

You sound like a slave who is thankful that the master didn't whip him that day.

A lot of states have shall issue laws regarding gun permits. In my state all you have to do is turn in the paper work and you are approved if you aren't a criminal. That is freedom. Hoping that some bureaucrat 9sheriff) is sympathetic with you is not freedom.

I feel blessed living in Boise County (Boise is in Ada county) in Idaho. My CCW took one month and $50. As a vet, no training class necessary.
