Some Sheriff's Offices don't allow you to put them on your CCW weapon. You should check with the Sheriff's Office in Alameda to confirm their policy.

Call the Sheriff's office and ask if they allow lasers on the guns their CCW holders carry.

I hold a CCW issued by Alameda County.
As far as I know, there is nothing that prohibits a laser sight on a CCW weapon in Alameda County. And it just so happens I have a Crimson Trace laser sight on the 1911 that is on my permit. And it is, of course, the weapon I have shot to qualify with for the last four or five years. Each year at the range qualification at the Santa Rita Sheriff's range, the CCW instructor, Deputy R_______, has handled my gun to check the serial number. And he usually comments about the Crimson Trace. So he knows it's on there. He has never said anything about it being not allowed on CCW weapons. So while I can't cite any Penal Code Sections or Case Law, I'm pretty sure it's ok to have a laser sight for CCW in Alameda County!

Generally speaking it's a good idea to qualify with the pistol as you intend to carry it, and not make any modifications after qual. This way it's hard(er) for the issuing agency to object after the fact.

I agree with you in principle, LD.
Speaking only about Alameda County, at the annual qualification the Officer only verifies serial numbers and doesn't do any inspection for modification nor does he make any written record of his inspection beyond verifying the serial number. So if you were involved in a shooting and your gun was determined to be modified, there would be no way for the issuing agency to prove if you had modified your gun before or after your qualification. I suppose that if you had had a gunsmith do the mod(s), your dated receipt would be proof, but the above would be true for any owner performed work. I think the focus would be much more on the facts and circumstances of the shooting rather than the gun.

Crimson trace, if i was in a jury in a debatable shooting, and i hear you have a Crimson Trace, and the DA is trying to use that against toy, i know that gun has a small chance to hit innocent bystanders.. and the shooter has a little knowledge. Everybody should have one. It's fine!

Be careful when using the term "legal". There is a big difference between what is "legal" and what is "policy". It is 100% legal to have these on any firearm you can own in this state. However, it might be against their policy or it might not. Sorry, I can't answer the question; just had to clarify the two terms.

There's a famous case where a guy legally carries a 10mm pistol while hiking for protection against animals. He uses it to defend himself against a justifiable threat. The jury finds him guilty in part because of this: "The firearms investigator said that Fish’s gun — a 10mm — is more powerful than what police officers use and is not typically used for personal protection." One juror also says, "The whole hollow point thing bothered me. That bullet is designed to do as much damage as absolutely possible. It’s designed to kill. " Trail of evidence - Trail of Evidence- msnbc.com We know both statements are a bunch of crock. But they were used to sell a murder conviction and 10 year sentence w/o possibility of parole.

Yes I understand this may or may not be the case anymore but it is supposed to be this way. Look out if I am on the jury because I play by the way it is supposed to be. Quote:
