[HondaMasterTech]

If I recall correctly Stan Perez dropped out of the election.

I would like to hear what you know about Larry Hennick and why he should not get anyones vote.

Larry Hennick has my vote. He does not "beat around the bush" to any CCW question. He's not only straight forward in his answers but will explain in further detail. So far as I have seen, he's the only EDC candidate who has openly approached and shown his support for US in these forums. Show me otherwise, please.

And I would not trust someone, like the previous poster (not you HondaMasterTech), who spits out a statement and doesn't step up and explain her/himself: Educate us, or get educated.

Here's an excerpt of the article running on the Sacramento Bee. Not everyone had a notable or quotable but:

All candidates said they would support legislation to make California a "shall issue" state, saying it would eliminate inconsistencies among jurisdictions and perceived inequities and biases in the process.

John D'Agostini, an investigator with the Amador County District Attorney's Office and a former Amador County sheriff's deputy said, "Self-protection, simple as that."

Larry Hennick, who served 32 years with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department, "U.S. citizen." His policy, Hennick said, would be "apply and receive."

Stan Perez, retired chief of the California Highway Patrol's Valley Division: "You won't have to define good cause," he told potential applicants. "I will have already done that for you."

Stan Perez's opinion bothers me. Not sure why. It may be the potential for narrowing choices as "good cause". But it could be check any of the above and you're granted one.

Or it could be that the choices that he chooses for you generally don't apply to anyone except the narrowest of applicants.

Larry Hennick is wrong. Discriminating against green card holders is completely unconstitutional. Say v. Adams, NRA v. State of Washington.

Ummm, not having been there, and likewise, I assume you weren't either, I'm just basing this off of what I read. I believe he meant as long as you aren't an illegal alien. Also, he stated that if you apply he'll issue. WHAT is wrong with that???!!!! We need a Sheriff in every county like that!

[Larry Hennick]

Just for clarification my statement for good cause was simple "US Citizen" this was not meant to exclude legal aliens (green card holders). My policy is simple "apply and recieve". Thanks for all of the positive discussion on this important constitutional right.

Update on El Dorado County Sheriffs race

This last Saturday the Sacramento Bee endorsed George Nielson and named Bob Luca and Craig Therkildsen as runners up. Larry not having received an interview we e-mailed the editor of the editorial section and asked about the criteria for the endorsement and found that the main reason they did not consider Larry was his stance on issuing concealed weapons licesnses. This sure clarifies what three candidates are not CCW friendly doesnt it. I have the e-mail if any of you want a copy just send us a note on l.hennick@yahoo.com. Thanks again for all of your support!!!Teresa and Larry.
