I think Barnes would be the safer bet but in one interview I read about Cooper he indicated that he did not have any problem with the current CCW system. He said, rightfully, that CCW permit holders are very law abiding. Of course he may have made other statements I am not aware of.Comment

Anyone know a way to modify an application pending appointment? Got a new pistol that I want to add to the application, but cannot figure out how to add it. Thanks.Comment

Sheriff Candidates
Here are both candidates responses in a May 19th interview:
On firearms and the Sheriff’s role in preventing gun violence
Jim Cooper: Well, No. 1, look at the incident that happened on K Street Mall. Those folks are prohibited from owning firearms. You have to enforce the laws. It's not the folks that were legal gun owners, it's prohibited folks, and that's been the big issue. And as far as penalties, folks don't want to see any increased penalties with that. So you have to balance that and really look at the stats of legal gun owners. You don't see it there — our concealed weapons holders. I support concealed weapons permits. When you go back and look at the numbers on that, it's folks like Smiley Martin, who was on parole and wasn't supposed to possess guns… I got one of the only bills signed by the governor on ghost guns before. So ghost ghost guns are important. We need to enforce those laws. So the hard part is … we have some of the strictest gun laws in California. Violent crime is up because the people that we need to hold accountable aren't being held accountable. And that's really the big issue.
Jim Barnes: Statistics show that the violence that’s being committed in the community are not from concealed carry permit holders. These are from people that are prohibited from carrying these firearms and are getting access to them. And with the improvement in technology and 3D laser printers, there's people that are making them in their garages. So they're able to access them a little bit more. You know, California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. And right after the mass shooting downtown, we had elected officials saying we need tougher gun laws. And we haven't been able to enforce what we have now, because the accountability based at the state … it's shown more lenient where people are not being held accountable, so much so that we're having to really partner with our federal partners right now because with early release and zero bail, people are getting arrested for a firearm — and we have it in the statistics — in the morning, and later that night or the afternoon they get released. Later that night, they're caught with another firearm. And so that's scary that that many firearms are in our community.Comment

Yeah, it's kinda crap that it's taking so long. 60-90 days, allegedly. I'm at 84 days right now...so maybe next week? Really sucks that we have no recourse and the Cal DOJ doesn't have to answer to anyone for holding up this process for 12+ weeks.Comment
