Wait, why is this dude being charged with bribery when:

Following a two-year investigation, the DA’s office discovered that the two sheriffs were deliberately “refusing to release [the CCW licenses] until the applicants gave something of value.”

Unless I’m missing something, the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally. Were they brought up on charges for soliciting a bribe or what?

The grand jury also issued indictments against two county officials, Undersheriff Rick Sung and Sheriff’s Captain James Jensen, alleging that they had actually requested the bribes

The duo from the County Sheriff’s office appeared to be the ones primarily in the District Attorney’s crosshairs, with DA Jeff Rosen stating in a press release at the time that the accused “treated CCW licenses as commodities and found willing buyers” in folks like Apple’s Moyer.

Who could have guessed that may-issue permits could be (gasp) abused!

I thought the police would be even and fair in their determination of who should get one, just like they are in all their other activities.

Even after the Bruen v NSPRA decision many counties in California still behave like may issue jurisdictions. Which is both federally illegal and allows room for corruption like this to occur.

Apple executives don’t need CCWs. I need a CCW because my subs liked to be paid in cash so $50k in cash in my car was typical so a firearm was necessary because contractors get robbed. Apple executives don’t because they’re little soft bitches.
