Nope. He ran two different CCW processes:

* Normal folk got one of a bank of upper-rank staffers, who varied from "True Blue NRA" to "Sarah Brady Zombie Clone". Your odds were a total crapshoot depending on which one you got.

* "Special people" who paid big money (well over a grand per the initial federal indictment) got to go straight to Carona. This group included some actual Las Vegas mobsters.

The trading of CCW's for campaign money or other favors has occurred in quite a number of CA districts.

Carona ended up to be another politician with his hand out, for he had something to sell.

That is the root failure of may-issue. It ignores human nature. By definition, preference is given to the connected and wealthy.
