Neither the wife or I carry - just feel the odds of needing a piece are too small to warrant the hassle. Plus in Cali we can't get a CCW anyway. FWIW.

Cali ccw permits are issued by county sheriffs. From what I understand, some will issue to all, some will issue to a few (ie, their buds and election contributers) and some won't issue at all - it all depends on exactly where in Cali you are.
That said, I'm in Florida and we've had shall-issue for longer than I've been legally able to buy a gun. I don't have a CCW - up until recently it wouldn't have done me any good other than skipping the 3 day wait for handgun purchase from a FFL (I work at a college and until a recent lawsuit I couldn't even leave it in my car on campus). And to be honest, the few times I've felt the need to carry (ie, checking on a friend's wife after hurricanes) I've carried anyway or at least had something accessible (ie, take pistol w/ me when staying in hotels in Jax, Orlando, Daytona, etc)
