Every Department issues CCW's
All departments in California issue CCW's unless they have declared (G) under 12050 PC. We have found that even some that have declared 'G' still issue to special people within their cities while referring all others to their County Sheriffs. That violates Salute v Pitchess and the 14th Amendment.
Some departments, such as San Francisco Sheriff do not have a written policy. This a clear violation of Salute v Pitchess. Chiefs and Sheriffs have gotten away with violating your rights for years because no one has called them on it. Now that McDonald is in place many are taking a long look at their policies and practices.
Do not talk yourself out of applying. If you have a valid need, apply. Do not buy into what you see on Internet firearm sites that applying is futile. We have assisted numerous applicants who had put off applying for years only to be issued after contacting us. If you follow our instructions and the law you will enhance your chances of success.
It is up to you to initiate the process and stay with it.

El Dorado County's next Sheriff
Hello All,
A good friend advised me to visit your website and post a thread with the intent of introducing myself.
My name is John D'Agostini. I am a candidate for Sheriff of El Dorado County in the upcoming general election on November 2.
My stance on Second Amendment issues as well as CCW issuance is clear and has been posted on this site as well as in numerous publications including the Mountain Democrat and El Dorado Hills Telegraph newspapers. I have not swayed in my position on these issues in the twenty previous candidates forums I attended, when meeting and talking to thousands of residents or since my childhood for that matter. I strongly believe our founding fathers intended the Second Amendment as "teeth" to protect the rest of our constitution.
As a law abiding resident of the county, who desires to carry a concealed weapon, who is willing to go through the state mandated hoops such as full background check and training and bear the responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon, it is not my place as Sheriff to deny you that right.
In fact, California should follow suit with other states in this nation and become a "Shall" issue state thereby taking the subjective definition of good cause away from liberal county Sheriff's. My definition of good cause will be "Personal Protection" with justification. Meaning; give me a reason. The current threshold of proving imminent threat to life or that one carries large amounts of valuables or currency is contrary to case law that disallows the use of deadly force in protection of property. Therefore, why is "Personal Protection" not good cause. Again, give me a reason such as "I hike in the mountains", "I take my family to the park", or "I drive county roads late at night".
Please visit my website, www.johndagostini.com to learn more about who I am, my background and my position on this and other issues.
We came in first in the primary with a very grassroots style campaign. We will continue on the same path. If you have any further questions that are not answered on the website, I encourage you to call me on my cell phone, 530-306-0653. If I don't answer (I get many calls) please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I can.
I'd also like to explain my user name, 308sniper. I was a SWAT sniper and took that duty extremely seriously. Of many of my collateral duties in my career, sniper was one of the most rewarding and challenging. The core function of my assignment was intelligence gathering and to protect the lives of my fellow team members as well as the public I served.
I look forward to serving as Sheriff of El Dorado County.
John D'Agostini
TEAM BILLY JACK LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN AND WOMEN
TEAM BILLY JACK SEEKS PLAINTIFFS TO CHALLENGE ILLEGAL CCW POLICIES AND PRACTICES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
We are seeking Applicants/Plaintiffs that qualify under 12050 PC for a CCW. Applicants must qualify under all three criteria, Good Cause, Good Moral Character and Residency. We will vet you thoroughly and evaluate your Good Cause. We shall also evaluate your Chief or Sheriff's Policy to determine if it is compliant with 12050 PC, Salute v Pitchess, Guillory v Gates and the 14th Amendment. If we find an actionable violation we will present you with the option of bringing a lawsuit in State or Federal court, as appropriate. All assistance provided up to and through the denial is provided without charge.
ATTORNEYS WITH USC 1983 EXPERIENCE
We are seeking competent Attorneys with Federal and California Civil Rights experience who are interested in protecting the rights of CCW applicants against illegal issuance practices of Chiefs and Sheriffs. We have more qualified, vetted applicant/clients than we have attorneys for referrals. Our goal is to refer CCW clients to attorneys who understand 1983 Actions, Salute v Pitchess, Guillory v Gates and have good interpersonal communication skills. We welcome attorneys new to Federal litigation who have integrity, focus and place the rights of the clients first. We want to talk to you.
GOOD CAUSE
You must have Good Cause as defined by the Attorney General Opinion of 1974 or that falls within the written guidelines defined in your department's policy. There is no one Good Cause as everyone's need is different. It has to be sufficient to convince a jury or Judge that your need satisfies the Policy or is as good as or better than others issued by the department. Many departments have 'Dual Issue', policies illegal under the 14th Amendment or 'No Issue', policies illegal under Salute v Pitchess and sometimes under the 14th Amendment depending on its application and implementation. Our job is to thoroughly investigate the department and do a Forensic examination of the existing CCW files for violations of Policy and statute. If they exist, you may have a viable case for State or Federal court.
GOOD MORAL CHARACTER
That is self explanatory. Clean background and not in a prohibited class.
LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND INVESTIGATION
There is no free lunch. Lawsuits take time and there are costs associated with them. Attorneys charge a fee for their services as do Private Investigators. Some Attorneys require a Retainer and others charge an hourly fee. These charges will be explained to you in detail when you decide to challenge a denial of your application. Private Investigators also charge a fee for service. Fees are by Retainer and hourly. Our Investigators will make accommodations or arrangements on some cases. Principal Investigator has over 36 years experience, 25 specific to CCW investigations and litigation.
If your case prevails by settlement or jury decision, and it is our policy to only take cases we believe we can win, our objective is to compel issuance of a CCW to client, compliance with Policy or a new Policy with the court retaining supervision and jurisdiction and insure you receive a settlement that will cover costs of suit and compensate you for the misconduct of the department and your efforts in enforcing the law and Constitution.
Please contact us prior to beginning the process as it is best to create a solid record of your efforts to apply.

Plantation Mentality towards CCW Issuance
Many people post on other sites and some contact me with questions about illegal requirements for CCW issuance. There exists what I call 'Plantation Mentaliity'. That is where applicants will jump through hoops and all manner of other illegal requirements in order to be issued a CCW. I hear the same mantra. Gee, its okay, because the department is virtually Shall Issue. That is as informed a statement as 'I only vote for Sheriff based upon their CCW policies. Is this what society has come to?
Some are willing to incrementally give up their Constitutional rights and abandon common sense in order to be anointed with a CCW. Come on folks, we as a people are better than that.
Minimum residence requirements are illegal. How can your time in the county have any bearing whatsoever if you have Good Cause? A Superior Court Judge would throw that out in a nanosecond.
Requiring applicants to apply on a Departmental Application rather than the mandated DOJ Application. 12051(3)(A)PC Makes this a violation of state law. If you folks keep allowing your rights to be abused just because you might be issued, it raises serious questions as to your integrity, which in my view should disqualify you to have a CCW. If your integrity is a question at the time of application, what about after a shooting?
I do not advocate suing Chiefs and Sheriffs just because you can. But, if you allow a law enforcement official to violate the Constitution or statute for self interest, what does that say about you?
If these officials are called to task when illegal requirements are discovered we will have a more equitable system.

Do Your Homework
Billy Jack and TEAM members have real jobs with real responsibilities. This allows us to take time to assist serious CCW applicants. We provide free assistance throughout the appplication process unless you want to hire us to do research where you expect to be denied and have already decided you may want to sue. We have received as many as 10 requests for assistance in one day.
Responses back and forth can be very time consuming. For that reason we have posted on our main site that we expect you to do your homework by reading 12050 PC and the AG Opinion on Good Cause. Both of these are available on our site. When you contact us we expect you to know who handles CCW in your city/county, PD or SO and if you have already requested copies of the CCW Policy and DOJ Application.
When a person contacts us, as many have and do not have any idea what documents have been provided to them, the name of their Chief or Sheriff, that speaks volumns about that persons chances of suceeding in the process. We warn you not to go to the departments in person and not to make phone calls as are both are easily denied later by the department if legal action is persued. We want you to success but we are not Mother Theresa.
You want a CCW? help us to help you. 2% of the peoplewho contact us have the 'fire in the belly' to seriously pursue a CCW. If we can see it so can your interviewer. I used to have to make split second, potentially life altering decisions about people. Now I interview people as part of my professional activities so I am able to form opinions very quickly when we communicate with you. If you are in disarray please consider gracing one of the other CCW assistance sites with your presence.
Something very interesting is pending in the Bay Area.
