The Sacramento County sheriff, while announcing cutbacks in his force, alsio announced that he was now accepting "self-defense" as "good cause" to justify issuing carry permits.
This is where the "may issue" law is manipulated mostly, as people like the LA County sheriff set their own bar of "good cause" so high as to be ridiculous...to include "a clear and present danger which cannot be dealt with by normal police functions". That requires the issuer to admit the issuing chief doesn't "control" crime after all. As if anyone really thought they did.
