CCW psychological evaluations

Opposed dropping universal psych evals — pointed to liability questions if an approved holder commits a shooting and asked who pays for case-by-case evaluations.

Asked whether CCWs are still restricted to jewelers/business owners or open to anyone, and about required training.

Supported the change, citing the high cost burden CCW fees placed on La Verne applicants and arguing background checks and fingerprints are sufficient.

Supported the change, saying she trusts the chief's experience and discretion on when evaluations are needed.

Opposed the change — said waiving the universal requirement makes residents more vulnerable and asked who decides when an evaluation is required.

Supported the change, citing Texas open-carry statistics and the chief's ability to order evaluations when warranted.

Opposed the change — reminded the council the mayor himself pushed for universal evals three years ago as 'extreme precaution' and said $4,000-$6,000 a year is a small price for the added security.
