what county sheriff in ca issues most ccw permits
âA bullet voteâ. Californians are more likely to carry concealed handguns in counties where Republicans are the dominant party, state records show. Sacramento County, which is largely Democratic, is an exception. The Sheriffâs Department issues more than 99 percent of the concealed carry permits in Sacramento County. City police also can issue the permits, but generally donât. âItâs a much more touchy subject for police chiefs than for the sheriff. They answer to a city council or a city manager,â Jones said.
