the SLO county FAQ is a little sparse, but I called Atascadero PD and spoke with one of their dispatchers, who kindly informed me that all CCW applications from people whose residence falls within city limits must apply to the Chief of Police, currently Chief John Couch. I'm not sure if the appellate jurisdiction belongs to Sheriff Hedges or not. Further, I attempted to get the same information from Paso Robles police dispatchers, but they did not have that information available. I was advised to contact the city business office, which I will probably do after I'm off work for the day.
I'm planning on moving in the very near future - probably into the unincorporated county land, but equally likely into Paso Robles city limits. I suppose there's even a remote possibility that I'll stay in Atascadero, but if Sheriff Hedges is as reasonable as he is described as being, I may prefer to move out into his jurisdiction *laugh*
