Issues with discretionary issue of concealed carry permits
Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness has revoked concealed weapon permits of a gubernatorial appointee and a state parole official while also vowing to overhaul permit record keeping, both in the wake of a Bee investigation.
And, of course, the issues with it:
The Bee reported that at least 30 of the 550 people issued local carry permits from 1996 to 2007 had records of criminal convictions – and at least seven had failed to disclose them in their concealed weapon applications. Most of those permits were granted by McGinness’ predecessor, former Sheriff Lou Blanas.

“McGinness said he canceled both permits because the holders displayed questionable judgment.”
Hell, they work for the state of Kalifornia. That in itself is enough to establish “questionable judgment”.
