    | To carry a concealed weapon in California, you must have a conceal and carry weapons (CCW) permit.
 
 In Sacramento County, the sheriff's department determines if someone qualifies for a license by looking at four requirements: good moral character, good cause for the license, is a resident of the county and has completed firearms training.
 
 A newly released state audit found inconsistencies with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department permitting process for CCW.
 
 The state auditor reviewed three counties: Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego.

    | Correction: State Audit Finds Major Discrepancies in Los Angeles County. 
 "The audit said none of the three counties were consistent in using their own internal standards to evaluate applications.
 
 In Sacramento, the auditor also found that the sheriff's department doesn't collect sufficient documentation to prove applicants meet all CCW permit requirements.
 
 All three departments charge application processing fees for CCW licensing, but the fees do not appear to cover the costs of the programs.
 
 The report also states it found the starkest failure to follow policy in Los Angeles County."

                      | To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country.  — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |  |  |
