Since Sheriff Jones is not running for re-election and is backing his Chief Deputy James Barnes, how would this effect current and future CCW permits? I tried a google search but couldnt find anything that listed Barnes`s position on CCW permits.

Funny, we just covered this in the renewal class I took last week.
Barnes is pro ccw and believes in much of the same as Jones. Jones apparently visits the range often and speaks with the instructor.
An Elk Grove Assemblyman, Jim Cooper, is also going to be running. He's former Sac Sheriff. The instructor had people that know Cooper, including Cooper's brother, in his class. They said he's pro ccw. They said he's more of a politician so he would be the figure head of the office, while Barnes would run the day to day aspect keeping everything the same. -
Not a fan of quoting myself, but this was raised in the Sacramento County CCW thread in this forum:
On Jones and the election:
////////
On Cooper"They said he's more of a politician so he would be the figure head of the office",
That's probably the most naive, self-serving statement I've read in a year. CCW authority to "may" issue rests with the Sheriff, not the staff. The policy is the Sheriff's policy. In that role, he is not a figurehead. As a politician, we know his record on 2A issues. His policy will follow that record.Last edited by Dvrjon; 11-09-2021, 7:03 AM.Comment

You Sacto people need to attend you county NRA Members Council, contact the CRPA, GOC/GOA, GOP, etc to ensure a pro CCW candidate is elected sheriff on June 7th.

Cooper is a Democrat Politician. Review his assembly voting record before voting for him as Sheriff.
I'm voting for and supporting Barnes for Sheriff. Last thing we need is another Democrat in any office.Last edited by tdp113530; 11-13-2021, 10:48 AM.Comment

Livingston in CoCoCo, Ahern in Alameda Co, Smith in Santa Clara Co, Brown in Santa Barbara Co and MacDonnell, former sheriff of Los Angeles County are ALL Republicans and ALL are/were anti CCWs.
Dem Essick took over in Sonoma Co and took it Dark Green. Dem Villanueva took over in LA Co and took it to Light Green.
Go by their stance on the 2nd A and GC for CCWs, not party.

CCW holders as a voting block.
When Jones and Cooper were in Runoff election for Sheriff about 10 years ago. Jones was very clear he was going to create a Shall Issue policy if elected. Cooper repeatedly gave some round about statements in the initial debates that included a third candidate who's whole platform was CCW. The third candidate was never going to be elected he, but he forced the CCW issue into the election. Can't remember the third candidates name, but we owe him a debt of graduated . In the first round of debates that included the third candidate, if I remember correctly Cooper was stating something like "He would follow the law", he never stated clearly he would create a Shall issue policy. If I remember correctly he only started using the term Shall Issue during the Runoff debates, because Jones was so clear about his position, and it clearly resonated with the voters. Had a couple of my buddies fooled. I believe Jones won the Runoff election by about 8,000 or 9,000 votes, which I believe is less than the amount of CCW permits currently outstanding under Jones. CCW holders have the potential of deciding the election if we all get behind Jones's supported candidate, if in fact he intends to continue the Shall Issue policy. After following Coopers voting record in recent years, its pretty evident to me that those of us that have CCW permits here in Sac County, would have never got them under Cooper. Cooper is no friend to gun rights. It will be interesting to see how James Barnes deals with the CCW issue when campaigning. Lets hope he is crystal clear he supports the current policy, and CCW holders are paying attention.Last edited by wweigle; 11-15-2021, 9:27 AM.Comment

It seems that a very well reasoned argument here went over a few heads. It's sad to see partisanship go that deep.Livingston in CoCoCo, Ahern in Alameda Co, Smith in Santa Clara Co, Brown in Santa Barbara Co and MacDonnell, former sheriff of Los Angeles County are ALL Republicans and ALL are/were anti CCWs.
