Out of all the cities that process their own CCW applications, what city in the East Bay Area has the best CCW policy? I'm considering purchasing a home soon and the CCW policy is relatively important to me. I heard Brentwood allows 5 firearms + modifications? Pleasant Hill allows 3 + optics + flashlight but has to be on roster. What other cities do you guys live in with a laxed policy?

Brentwood is VERY expensive, requires psych eval, personal references, interview with PD, etc. I would NOT call them 2A friendly.
 
Do not make your home buying decision on CCW, that can very easily change once you’re there.
Thanks, you're right it's not solely based on the CCW. I was already looking Pleasant Hill and Concord because proximity to family, it just solidified my decision
