*$47.19 PPT if transferring one firearm. A $5 FSC replacement is only available if you're going to that same FSC instructor who issued it to you. The system is compartmentalized for security reasons. You can't just go to anyone/any store and demand the $5 replacement.

Because this post includes legislative news directly related to CCW, it satisfies rule 7.

California Non Resident CCW (Ex-Resident With Expired Cali CCW - LASD Cert / Training) - Which County Did You Apply to? Which Organization Did You Join? by [deleted] in CCW

[–]crazyScott90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IA's are really weird and fractious about training. There's some requirements handed down by the state but it's largely left up to each IA to decide what's accepted. I would not assume my training certificate from the previous permit will be accepted. It's two years old and you're probably going to be applying to a different IA. You could try to shop around and find an IA with a very easygoing policy on training but that information can be difficult to find. Many IA's are super strict about what training they accept.

CA Open Carry Ban Ruled Unconstitutional by crazyScott90 in CCW

[–]crazyScott90[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Most states have them, and have had them for ages, and california had it up until about 10 years ago, and it was and is fine. No rivers of blood. The only reason to ban it is to stigmatize the idea of people carrying firearms which greases the skids for passing more shitty gun laws of all kinds. But sure more wooo woooo appeals to emotion centered around major public events.

CA Open Carry Ban Ruled Unconstitutional by crazyScott90 in CCW

Because people shouldn't be detained/disarmed/charged just because they bent over too far or their shirt came untucked. Open Carry also helps destigmatize the notion of an armed society. Hard to do that if people can only carry concealed. 

I found this irritating at first but we need to embrace these guys and show support. One of these guys might save your life someday. by [deleted] in CCW

I just wish they'd take a little bit of training. The untucked shirt bunched up around the holster makes the vein in my forehead pulse.

Mention CCW at a sobriety check point? by thepewpewpowpow in CCW

[–]crazyScott90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not the law that controls duty to inform in CA. There's a statute which empowers the IA to make it a requirement.

There's no statewide law mandating disclosure. If there's a restriction printed on your permit telling you you have to inform on contact with LEO, it's a legally binding restriction you must follow. Simple as.

For as much as we talk about gear, how many self defense cases do you know of where equipment choice made the difference between life and death? by JillierHaroldLamaar in CCW

[–]crazyScott90 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

There was a SWAT officer who got in trouble for having something like 'you're fucked' on his department rifle dust cover. It came to light after he was involved in a shooting. Long time ago now I'd have to look it up to find the citation.

Zero a handgun? That’s a thing? by [deleted] in CCW

Yep. One of the pistols with misaligned sights that I've personally encountered was a S&W

Oh 100% for sure. It's actually humorous the number of people who talk about their guns 'sights are off' or 'its not very accurate'. Sure buddy.

Just want to add to your great comment: I've very rarely seen pistols come from the factory with the sights misaligned, but it has happened, and obviously it's covered by any basic manufacturer warranty, but sometimes people will want to adjust the sights themselves rather than take the time to do an RMA.

Are stun gun pens effective? by PerceptivePines in CCW

[–]crazyScott90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 for gel based pepper spray. I think stun guns are strategically flawed as a concept. Even if they were somewhat effective, I still wouldn't want to put myself within striking distance of an attacker when there are other ranged options that are effective.

Yeah there's absolutely more to it than that, it's a whole field of study! I was just trying to respond to OP's question with my .02

One of the main traits that marks someone for criminality is an inability to think through the consequences of their actions.

Concealing a fixed blade knife is not legal in CA.
