We are seeking Applicants/Plaintiffs that qualify under 26150 PC for a CCW. Applicants must qualify under all three criteria,
Good Cause, Good Moral Character and Residency. We will vet you thoroughly and evaluate your Good Cause.
We shall also evaluate your Chief or Sheriff's Policy to determine if it is compliant with 26150 PC, Salute v Pitchess, Guillory v Gates
and the 14th Amendment. If you are denied a CCW, and we find an actionable violation,
we will present you with the option of bringing a lawsuit in State or Federal court, as appropriate.
We ask that you consider making a minimum donation via PayPal of $10.00 if you feel our assistance
was a factor in your being issued a CCW, or if you desire to support the information and assistance our site provides.
Our investigative retainer to take a CCW case to Federal Court is $5000.00 so our request is more than reasonable.
We are sharing information acquired over 25 years of CCW litigation and investigations.
We are CCW facilitators and need the support of applicants to help us defray costs of maintaining this site
and working with qualified persons.
We assist all who are willing to work with us and follow our instructions.
No one is ever turned away due to inability to make a donation.
We have been providing CCW assistance for over 25 years and need your financial support to continue doing so.
Our donations and required fees for other services are listed at the end of this page.
GOOD CAUSE
You must have Good Cause as defined by the Attorney General Opinion of 1974 or that falls within the written guidelines defined in your department's policy.
There is no one Good Cause as everyone's need is different. It has to be sufficient to convince a jury or Judge that your need satisfies the Policy
or is as good as or better than others issued by the department.
Many departments have 'Dual Issue' policies, illegal under the 14th Amendment, or 'No Issue'
policies, illegal under Salute v Pitchess and sometimes under the 14th Amendment, depending on its application and implementation.
Our job is to thoroughly investigate the department and do a Forensic examination of existing CCW files
for violations of Policy and statute.
If they exist, you may have a viable case for State or Federal court. This investigation will be done on an hourly fee basis.
GOOD MORAL CHARACTER
That is self explanatory. Clean background and not in a prohibited class.
LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND INVESTIGATION
There is no free lunch. Lawsuits take time and there are costs associated with them. Attorneys charge a fee for their services.
Some Attorneys require a Retainer and others charge an hourly fee. These charges will be explained to you in detail when you decide to challenge
a denial of your application. Private Investigators also charge a fee for service. Fees are by Retainer and hourly. Our Investigators will make
accommodations or arrangements on some cases.
If your case prevails by settlement or jury decision, and it is our policy to only take cases we believe we can win, our objective is to compel
issuance of a CCW to client, compliance with Policy or a new Policy with the court retaining supervision and jurisdiction and insure you receive a
settlement that will cover costs of suit and compensate you for the misconduct of the department and your efforts in enforcing the law and Constitution.
Please contact us prior to beginning the process, as it is best to create a solid record of your efforts to apply.

Carrying a Concealed Firearm in California
In about 40 of the states, any law-abiding citizen may carry a
concealed firearm.
In Alaska, Arizona and Vermont, a license or permit is not required. In Wyoming, since July 2011, residents are not required to have a permit
and it is believed that the out of state permits of non-residents will be honored. In the others (“
Shall Issue” states)
the
weapon license, or
permit, MUST be granted. One state (Illinois)
has no provision for
concealed carry
(this may change shortly). The remaining few are known as “
May Issue” states, and
permits are
frequently granted, or refused, at the discretion of Sheriffs, Police Chiefs or Judges (depending upon state law).
California is a “
May Issue” state; the decision to grant a
CCW (Carry a Concealed Weapon) Permit being
granted (or more often refused) at the discretion of the County Sheriff or Police Chief. Some sheriffs/chiefs
issue on a reasonable basis, others can be next to impossible to persuade.
Many of them, such as LAPD, LASO, Marin SO, SDSO, SFSO and SFPD, (to name just a few) operate Constitutionally illegal policies
that are ripe for a legal challenge.
This site is designed to help
California residents to understand the law concerning
Concealed Carry Permits in
California, how to determine whether you reside in a city or county in which it is relatively easy or difficult
to obtain a permit and how to make the best of whatever situation in which you find yourself.
Second Amendment
Having a
CCW is a privilege, not an entitlement,
and the Courts have ruled that a California
CCW is not guaranteed to anyone under the
2nd Amendment.
If your core belief is that it is a
‘Right’ guaranteed by the Constitution,
stop reading and go to one to the Foundation supported sites that share your beliefs.
However, the
14th Amendment (Due Process, Equal Protection) is extremely relevant,
as many Sheriffs/Chiefs issue on a discriminatory basis.
This site will help you identify and overcome this discrimination.
Our Mission
To assist those dealing with California and the right
to equal access to a Concealed Weapon Permit. We will tell you up front

successfully acquire a CCW. If you are serious about this pursuit, then
you have come to the right place.
