Hutchens says she disagrees with supervisors and will let voters decide her fate...

[GMONEY]

"This week, Hutchens and county attorneys told supervisors that a revoked gun permit would be filed in a statewide database on firearms but not on criminal history databases."

I guess I will be entered into the system and LEO will assume I am a criminal even though I am not...

"Hutchens said she understands that her stance on gun permits has created political enemies from the gun activists. But she thinks they are a minority and that the broader community respects her approach."

Wow... Elitism at it's finest...

Well, my first thought was... well it doesn't matter since it will be bleeped out anyways..

Sadly, she is probably right.

Someone should ask her if her stance on CCW extends to herself off duty or if she is booted will she carry after she is no longer a LEO.

They. Don't. Care.

But that's ok, CA!!! Keep voting them in there!!!

[N6ATF]

So either she went back on her word that she would wait for the DOJ to reply to take any action, or the DOJ actually replied when they almost never do, and were predicted not to in this case as well.

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Which them are you referring to?

She was appointed to fill out the term of the previous Sheriff (currently indicted by the Feds), not voted into office.

Yet another case where official oppression law would come in handy. That attitude coupled with some actions would have consequences for her. Hey Santa Gene, can you put that in our stocking?

This is why the founding fathers esablished a constitutional republic and NOT A DEMOCRACY. I would like her to show anywhere in the Constitution where it speaks that we are a democracy or that the minority can have rights trampled.

Sadly in this state CCW is not a right . . . it's a privilege which is handed out at the pleasure of CLEOs. The only real remedy for a non-issuing Sheriff is an election.

The incumbent sheriff protection act assures that she will be reelected. It's a sure thing since it's illegal for the rabble (mere citizens) to run for that office. No viable (legal) alternative means automatic election. She knows darn well her job is safe. And you can count on her to move on her enemies as some as the coronation is over.

You need to get your facts straight. The only "Incumbent Sheriff Protection Act" I've ever heard of requires a sitting sheriff up for re-election to take a leave of absence during a campaign. This is to protect their campaign from potentially negative blowback of big police actions during that time, and it's not even on the books in Orange County.

You could run for Sheriff in 2010, assuming you meet the minimum qualifications of age, citizenship, and so forth. I could run. Lots of people could. And I know of at least one who will be. This girl is going to be shown the door along with many of the supervisors who appointed her in 2010. If we work together we can assure that because together, we win.

You need yo get your facts straight. Buford Pusser types are not legal in California. You must meet strict standards for law enforcement experience. That includes an advanced certificate issued by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and between one and fours years as a full time paid LEO depending on the candidate's education. Do you have an advanced certificate? I don't so I can't run. I'm afraid that you mistook California for America. This is a law that was put in place by Brad Gates' cronies to protect then sheriff Gates when Judge Bobby Youngblood was a serious contender for the job.

BTW while your reading the link that I included for you you'll see why it's important to get a good lawyer to handle civil rights challenges.
Name calling in any context is not allowed, find a more appropriate way to express your opinion.

represted himself and lost what might have been a very winnable case. By losing this case, case law has now been established upholding this totalitarian law that will be hard to tear down.

[GunSlut]

The DOJ did get back to her over two weeks ago with their answer.
