or if he thinks conservatives are getting screwed by state policy. If he means the latter, I want an example
Concealed Carry Weapons permits. Rural county CCW is not valid in urban counties, where urban county CCW are valid everywhere. (there is a good reason for this)
In CA CCW permits are issued by the sheriff office. You send in a letter explaining why you want one, why your special, proof of training, etc, and then they send you the permit.
In rural areas sheriffs proclaimed they will be shall issue and provide a CCW to anyone who sends them a letter asking for one.
In urban areas it is a bit more difficult to get one, in that you have to show you are higher risk then normal people. The provided example is a business owner who carries a cash envelope to the bank to be cashed. The law as written was intended to work this way.
Upon realizing rural counties were going end run the law and be shall issue, they changed the law to its current form. Rural CCWs are no longer valid in urban counties.
