This article seems to be less about CCW permits themselves and more that a state agency is soliciting bribes for various permits when they realize the wealth of the organizations seeking them. > Requested $75k of Apple tech to issue a CCW permit to the head of security, etc.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff is not a state agency.

  That's a needlessly nitpicky interpretation of a minute part of GP's comment. It's a government agency in the state of California.

  I think GP means state in the metaphorical sense, referring to an office of a government, not an office of one of the 50 states in the union.

This sort of pay-for-play CCW permitting isnt unusual: it's very common in the May-issue counties that have the lowest acceptance rates (Bay Area and LA). Normally the bribes are just campaign contributions to the sheriff's reelection, so this is notable in that it was a much bigger bribe.
