Ordinary California Citizens Concerned With Safety
Every law abiding resident in California has the right to defend themselves at home. We believe that right should not end when you step out your front door. The fifty-eight county sheriffs and numerous chiefs of police in California control the issuance of Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW). These licenses are often issued in arbitrary and capricious schemes which favor the wealthy, famous, or well connected. If you are a local politician, or a movie star, or a wealthy businessman, you have a much better chance of getting a CCW license than do auto mechanics, single... [Read more...]

Sheriff candidates show their colors at debate
Both challengers of Sheriff Sandra Hutchens attacked the incumbent at a candidates forum Tuesday night, but distinctions between all three were clear.
Former Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Bill Hunt repeatedly emphasized the Second Amendment and his vow to make it easier to get concealed weapons permits, while Anaheim Deputy Police Chief Craig Hunter characterized Hutchens as a Los Angeles-style cop in a county where people expected more.
“Would you rather go to the Honda Center or the Staples Center?” he asked. “Irvine Park or MacArthur Park? Ask yourself why that style of law enforcement doesn’t work.”
Hunter also seized upon criticism of Hutchens that arose at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. When reorganizing the department amid last year’s budget crisis, Hutchens was widely applauded for saving street-level jobs by laying off two assistant sheriffs and six captains.
However, she recently unveiled a plan to promote 15 sworn officers – at their current pay for 18 months – and that led to Supervisor Bill Campbell to express concern about a “bait and switch” that would end up absorbing savings made by earlier cuts.
Police Opinions on CCW
FBI releases study confirming gun laws ignored by criminals
Study confirming what OCCCWS and other sources have always said…Killers and Criminals are Killers and Criminals, whether their victim is in uniform or not.
The FBI recently completed a major study of shootings of police officers. Titled ‘Violent Encounters: Felonious Assaults on America’s Law Enforcement Officers.’ Since its publication, the existence of the damning report on the five-year study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about how cop-killing criminals ignore gun laws, and where they get their guns, has not been publicized. Calgunlaws.com has one of the first copies of the report obtained publicly.

Newport Beach - Home burgled with owners upstairs
Police said an unidentified man burglarized a Newport Beach home while the homeowner was upstairs and unaware of what was going on.
Police said a person living in a home in the 400 block of Fernleaf Avenue was outside on their second-story balcony when a man walked through the front door about 1:36 p.m. Sunday.
Police described the suspect as a black man, 50 years old, 6 feet tall, 185 pounds with black, short hair, a thin build and wearing a dark jacket.
A neighbor saw the man come out of the front door and shout at the homeowner on the second floor, “Excuse me, is this where the open house is?” according to police.
The unsuspecting homeowner told the man to try down the street.
A neighbor who saw the suspect exit the home told the homeowner he was inside, police said.
The homeowner then found that cash had been taken from her wallet.
Police said the man was seen leaving in an old, rusty blue Toyota Camry.

A week ago, a horrendous crime took place in a nursing home in Carthage, North Carolina. Seven innocent lives were taken by an unhinged dirtbag apparently upset at his ex-wife. Fortunately, a brave police officer answered the call, engaged the perpetrator in a gun fight, and though he took three rounds to the legs, managed to deliver a center-mass hit onto said dirtbag, dropping him in his tracks. This courageous officer kept his head, and, with bullets pounding around and into him, kept his muzzle on target long enough to bring to an end a tragedy that may have been a whole lot worse.
