Orange County Sheriff issuing concealed carry permits under new rules

Thousands of people in Orange County have applied for concealed weapon permits following a federal court decision in February. The ruling struck down California's "good cause" standard for issuing concealed carry permits.

The February 2014 court ruling by three U.S. Ninth Circuit Court judges means people who want the permits don't have to state a  'good cause' to get one. Those "causes" have included people carrying large sums of money or private investigators.
