Subdeacon Joe Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The first step. http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-concealed-weapons-20140221,0,1864878.story#axzz2tybAQJQv/ The ruling is not yet final, and if successfully appealed, may never take effect. But Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens announced on the department's website that the county has decided to comply anyway. "Regardless of what her personal positions are, she feels she needs to abide by what the law is," Lt. Jeff Hallock, a sheriff spokesman, said Thursday. He said the department has received "a huge influx" of requests for permits to carry concealed guns since the 9th Circuit ruling. He cautioned, though, that the new relaxed rules might be "revisited" if the court decision is appealed or overturned. The Orange County Sheriff's Department, which handles gun carry permits for the county's cities, will now give residents permits if they simply cite a need for personal safety or self-defense, as long as other conditions are met, the department said. Those conditions include an interview, background check, completion of a firearms training course and a fee. http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-concealed-weapons-20140221,0,1864878.story#ixzz2u9QVXWRX Link to comment
