The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Those of you in a shall-issue state: do you want a California CCW?

The "may issue" law in Ca has been challenged but such have lost in tossing the "may" part but gained CCW's for plaintiffs showing rank discrimination or malfeasance in granting permits.

AB 357 is now in committee to toss the "may" for "shall" but I expect it will be bottled up by Democrats and the "go along to get along" Reps they own. :barf:

The big fight is going to be over taxation and the budget fiasco. The state budget is just part of the issue, as municipalities and counties are seeing revenue declines past what most of them ever imagined would happen. The economy is slowing yet and the stimulus, emphasizing welfare, will just delay the day of reckoning a bit. The booze party is collapsing, a tea party brewing. This little people's republic is running out of other people's money, and the commoners who pay for it are getting testy, finally.

Other than really irrelevant things, the solons in Sacto may not get much done this year. Maybe. :barf: :barf:
