Finally, in apparent breach of its own issuance policy, the County grants CCWs to members of the Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association (“HDSAâ€) – a private, civilian entity, wherein membership is achieved merely by being sponsored by a current member, passing a background check, making a “donation†and paying annual dues – while at the same time the County denies other law-abiding, non-HDSA-members who are similarly situated. That arbitrary difference in treatment also violates the Equal Protection rights of Plaintiffs.
–From partial motion for summary judgment in Peruta et al. v. San Diego County, just filed by California’s NRA/CRPA Legal Action Project attorney and longtime Calgunner Chuck Michel. Bolded emphasis mine. Yes, you need to bribe the San Diego sheriff to get your CCW.
That was completely characteristic of “may issue” in Oregon in the bad old days here before 1988 and the installation of “shall issue”.
The Old Ways die hard in Kali, I guess.
