Ventura County sheriff (yes, Ventura County, California) Geoff Dean is the latest to adopt a ‘shall-issue’ CCW policy for its county residents. In so doing, he joins Orange County as a ‘shall issue’ jurisdiction. Many northern California LEOs have long been quietly issuing CCWs much more liberally than the gun-phobic sheriffs of SoCal, but Orange and Ventura Counties are the most southerly and populous Cali counties to Do The Right Thing when it comes to CCW . . .
Ventura County is the the north-westerly corner of the Greater Los Angeles conurbation, and Orange county is at the southern end. A lot of Venturians and OC’ers work in L.A. This means there will soon be at least a few sheepdogs among the flock of disarmed Angelitos, and that the teeming multitudes of meth fiends and gangbangers of the L.A. area will need to think a lot more carefully before they try to victimize a random stranger on the street.
The full version of the Ventura County policy is available online here, and it’s not the most straightforward process but at least it’s available to every law-abiding citizen. One of my buddies in Ventura county has his CCW interview next week. Good luck, Cory!
The shooter’s version of hell just froze over. Or at least cooled off and opened a couple of nice restaurants.
After weeks in the jungle, Lieutenant Sir Harry Smith-Baden-Jones, accompanied by his trusted adjutant Sergeant Major Blucher, emerged after weeks in the jungle having captured the ever elusive and nearly mythical African Big Foot.
Moorpark, Simi Valley or Thousand Oaks: here we come….
The first documented proof that pot-squatch really does exist..
“If I, were king, of the forest! – not duke, not knight, not prince.”
“The Sheriff, upon proof that the person applying is of good moral character, that the person applying satisfies residency or business location requirements, and has completed a course of
training (as set forth in this policy) may issue to that person a carry concealed weapons license.
Doesn’t sound like shall issue to me.
There once was a black man named Sammo
Who was quite an expert at cammo
He would sneak up on thee
And then take a pee
Leaving you wondering who fouled your ammo
“How not to be seen.”

Sorry guys, the 14 year old in me has to say it:
[self-imposed moderating edit!]
Who knew a firing squad would be the original inspiration for the weed whacker!
I say, “This Peace Corp photographer has a sense of humor”.
Bully, and I say, “That with 2 nuts on the side and a bush in the middle, ol’ Reginald must be a D$ck”!
The old Singer factory is off of Exit 13A of the NJ Turnpike. Next to the Jersey Gardens Mall and Port Elizabeth. It’s an empty shell now. I’m assuming that was the site of the 1911 production.
“I swear, if Bob tries to sneak up and prank us again, I’m gonna bayonet him.”
I think Dave’s been in the bush a little too long!
The gun still didn’t fire by itself… some idiot licked the trigger.
I hope if some kid decides to shoot up the school he sneaks a gun in and leaves it in his locker on one of the two days a year the dog is there… because that’s the only way it’s going to do anything but screw with kids who don’t wash their jacket after shooting.
“we want to build a firearms program that concentrates on precision and accuracy with the shots, as opposed to just having a big chunk of lead,”
Yeah… seems like having both would be better. “Sure, it’s small, but I know how to use it!” is also a rationalization, along similar lines.
+!
“We want to build a shooting program that focuses on accurately placing big chunks of lead.”
There we go, fixed it.
Welp, Senoia PD just committed group suicide…
Why don’t they just trade their guns out for French Ticklers?
Probably be more effective.
Man eating bush…
I submitted an entry and didn’t get an email with coupon code? Please help! THANKS!
Private McManus had just finished reading ‘Macbeth’ when he suggested the institution of a new camouflage program.
Some guys, not hunters, don’t shoot game over 100 to 300 yards because they don’t know how to shoot. I have taken trophies home since I was 15. My 7mm is sighted in for 300 and I regularly make 300 to 400 yard shots on whitetail, mulies, elk and moose. I hunt with guys with 7mms that sometimes shoot moose at 800 yards and mule at 700 yards with 308. We have never had a wounded animal.
Saying that someone shouldn’t try a long shot because they might only wound an animal is like saying don’t try a 300 yard shot because you might wound an animal. The days of sighting in guns at 100 yards have long gone. But yet these guys keep on commenting like they know what they are talking about.
It just doesn’t make sense. My 7mm is sighted in for 300 yards becuase that is the distance that my animals are at. We know at 700 yards where the bullet is going to go. And so does the TrackingPoint. Use either one, the one you prefer.
The so-called hunters that don’t believe that over 500 yards are possible probably don’t believe that we walked on the moon. Get with the times.
We make 700 and 800 yard shots, measure it out, and it is a fact.
Ch-ch-chia
Hasnt the whole “the streets will run red!” nonsense been dis-proven a thousand times already?
So either this professor is playing the “as far as I know” card to excuse ignorance or he doesnt care about reality one bit and just wants to push his personal agenda onto everyone else.
Never enough. Just a question, has .22LR stopped production?
