You mean this Sheriff Sniff? The one who won't issue an LTC to a "regular" person unless they have a really good reason? No thanks, I think I will find a candidate for Sheriff who is truly pro gun rights.

[LCU1670]

He talked to our gun club a few years ago, very good public speaker, great stories. But, I wish he was easier on the issuing of CCW's. Where I live, I have noticed an increase, big increase, in robberies and car jackings.

I know several "regular people" who have obtained a ccw from Riverside County. Good cause isn't all that difficult. Just saying "I want one" or "it's my right" isn't going to do it.

It should be! So once again why support him?

Contributions of large sums of money and involvement for a sheriff campaign or other law enforcement agency will help you get a CCW. Especially in Contra Costa County.

That's easy. So you don't get a Sandra Hutchens or Lee Baca in the office...

I submitted a good cause very similar to several others that have been approved. I even ran it by several of the "right people" on this board before it was submitted. That tells me Sheriff Sniff subscribes to the "some animals are more equal that others" philosophy of LTC.

Let's also look at Sheriff Sniff's LTC policy as published on the Riverside County Sheriff website:

http://www.riversidesheriff.org/firearms/ccw.asp

Applicants must be able to demonstrate that good cause exists for the issuance of a CCW permit. Good cause is defined as:

Convincing evidence of a clear and present danger to life, or of great bodily harm to the applicant, his/her spouse, or dependent child, which cannot be adequately dealt with by existing law enforcement resources, and which danger cannot be reasonably avoided by alternative measures, and which danger would be significantly mitigated by the applicant's carrying of a concealed firearm.

Let's also look at some of the unlawful forms Sheriff Sniff adds to the LTC application packet:

How many alcoholic beverages do you consume in an average week?

Have you ever been arrested, detained, or questioned by the police as an adult or juvenile?

Are there other crimes you have committed, for which you have not been caught?

When was the last time you lost control of your temper?

Is there anything in your background that you are trying to conceal?

I'm sorry, but Sheriff Sniff is not a friend to the gun community.

His policy on CCW is not "ideal", but it's better than many.

He wrote a letter against SB249 before anyone else did.

I support Sheriff Sniff until someone better comes along. But we can do a lot worse too.

San Diego County is actually better than Riverside when it comes to LTC. Riverside has 0.273 Active Civilian Permits per 1000 Adults, while San Diego has 0.302 Active Civilian Permits per 1000 Adults.

Sheriff Sniff talks a good game, but when it comes to actually doing something pro gun he falls short. Actions speak louder than words.

You could move a few miles farther south and end up in SD county if you truly think you'd be better off.....

In a few months I'll be applying for CCW. I expect it to be approved. But we'll have to see.

I know someone who has been shot at had threats made against them. They were told after talking to the CCW have the county you work for provide one, you will not be issued one. All because they leave 100' on the wrong side of a line. I am sure it was because they were saying it was there right. But hey you got yours and good luck everybody else.

If anyone goes thank him for the help but people can not defend themselves, that is more important then rifle's. Unless you can already carry then who cares about everyone else

I have a hard time making sense of your incoherent ramblings. Though I think I get the general idea...

Living in 1 county makes you subject to the rule of law of that county. Doesnt matter if you're 100 ft from another county.

CCW is under attack by a lot of people in a lot of counties, and a lot of states and at the fed level too.

No one in kali is happy with our current ccw laws. Even the lucky people that do have ccw.

A few members on this site have done a great deal to further the ccw cause. Gray and Brandon are the 2 that come to mind...

Riv co is not a huge priority for them right now, because though it's far from ideal, it isnt as bad as some others.

There is also a lot of focus on national reciprocity.

So, people are working on this. Working very hard.

But instead you want to post some uninteligable whining rant about the people that were issued, and think they dont care about everyone else whose rights are being trampled.

That would be the farthest thing from the truth.

So then it is up to us, the voters in Riverside County, to hold these politicians accountable (I consider Sheriff to be a political office). Why should we support a politician who says he supports our positions (and asks for money) and then does not follow through.

What's the campaign slogan going to be, "Elect me or it could be worse. At least I pretend I'm on your side".

I would gladly become a "Gold Sponsor" for a candidate who would actually be pro gun. Let's not reward bad behavior.
