CCW San Mateo County

She's threatening to can your app because she has some arbitrary and capricious problem (he was rude with her?) with your reference? You have her email. I'd be sending the sheriff a note indicating that his reviewer has lost perspective and is no longer capable of rendering an objective evaluation of the application.

And copy the entire BoS's. Corpus is scared less of them right now and her man-pet is "managing" the CCW program.

Thanks for the timeline. I applied around same time in 2024 and so far nada. With the whole sheriff debacle I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be.

I'm not optimistic. Sheriff Binder comes from a long history at Santa Clara County- anti gun as it gets- Constitution be damned.

Can't beat that. Compared to the Sheriff that got fired and her boyfriend running the CCW program- this is quite impressive. There's a new Sheriff in town...taking care of business.
