If you're looking to apply in Santa Clara County, you need to check with the city you live in to find out which department issues, City Police or County Sheriff.
Based on what I've heard and having grown up in the BA, I'm guessing your chances are slim of getting issued, but you have to start somewhere.
edit: I just spoke with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Their policy is that you apply with the city agency where you live. They will likely deny you. Then the county will take your application. From what I've heard, they too will deny you, but until you try, you won't know for sure.
Good luck.

thanks for the note geek!
it looks like someone else has already been down the road in my town (Gilroy), but that was 2 years ago.
Kicking off the Santa Clara forum...
i'll send an email to the Gilroy COP and see what they say just for giggles.
stay tuned
