The CCW System, and CCW Applications
This (lengthy) article, written by TBJ members and serialized in CRPA's monthly newsletter, describes how the CCW system operates in California. It will answer a lot of new applicant questions, such as "Who do I apply to?" and "What sort of Good Cause do I need?"

Recommended reading for all candidates before going much further.
