Another interesting tid bit.
I kept searching for that 1977 AG opinion letter that the Sheriff keeps quoting as her end all be all "good cause" guide, and for the life of me I couldn't find it googling the author, number etc.
This morning I found the only mention of it I have seen, and quite by accident.
I was searching for something I thought I read in law about a Sheriff not being able to delegate CCW issuance to staff (still can't find that) but what I did find was right in our own back yard...
"The official California Attorney General view is expressed in the statement made by California Attorney General Evelle J. Younger, in August 23, 1977:
OPINION NO. CR. 77/30 I.L. 'the issuing authority must determine whether the threat to the applicant (or other causal situation) is as real as the applicant asserts (e.g., is there a clear and present danger to the applicant, his spouse, his family or his employees)? Finally, if the danger is manifest, the authority should determine whether that danger cannot be significantly alleviated by alternative means of security and whether in fact can be lawfully mitigated by the applicant's obtaining a concealed weapon license."

Since the Sheriff was told who knows how many times yesterday by lawyers for our side that the opinion was only a published letter, and not worth much and definatly not an actual "legal opinion", it's a shame to see it on the front of what appears to be a "pro" CCW web site.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's where she got it.
I sure haven't found it anywhere else, and considering her own opinions and statements it's not a far stretch to imagine her being the type (or at least her staff) to use our own information against us.
