Hey guys,
This is an interesting forum you have here. I am in the military, and while CA is my legal state of residence, I am stationed in Washington State. I have had a WA CCW permit for 7 years now. I really appreciate the way that firearm laws are written and enforced in WA state. In WA, the state laws pertaining to firearms are the law, and localities are not allowed to pass laws that override or are more stringent than the state law. As a "Shall-Issue" state if you are legally qualified then then you receive the permit. PERIOD. I have been interested in the possibility of getting a CCW permit in my home state, but it has been my understanding that the CCW system in CA seems to be corrupt-reserved for those that are politically affluent or wealthy. Is this correct? Am I to believe that only those who rub elbow with politicians or the wealthy are the only ones that have the RIGHT to protect themselves? I am interested in the CCW because I travel home to CA from time to time. I want to try to get the Oregon CCW permit if possible as well. I looked through the threads but did not see any information for Solano County. Does anyone have any information? Thanks.
