it's not that difficult to get a CCW in California if you are willing to go to the effort required. Give me a call if you want more info.
It varies *greatly* with the attitude of the Chief. In my Calif county the CCWs have tripled in the last few years since a Sheriff who trusts citizens was elected. You may not need to be a lawyer, carry lots of cash, or have been threatened, if he's reasonable. (If he were unreasonable those 'elite' reasons may not have sufficed.)
In the county I live in, a Bail Bondsman, a man with more felony arrests than most cops (i.e. he's brought more felons to the jail) was denied *renewal* of his CCW. This according to the mans lawyer. -- -- http://www.apa.org/journals/psp/psp7761121.html It is one of the essential features of such incompetence that the person so afflicted is incapable of knowing that he is incompetent. To have such knowledge would already be to remedy a good portion of the offense.
