In San Bernardino, Concealed Carry Would Have Made A Difference

[Pawpaw]

Amy Wetzel, widow of Michael Wetzel, one of the victims of the San Bernardino Islamic terror attack on a Christmas Party, is convinced that lives would have been saved if someone in the room had been able to confront the two ISIS-inspired terrorists with a weapon of their own.

She has joined a long list of Sand Bernardino County residents who are now applying for concealed carry permits.

San Bernardino County is now booking appointments for the applications process all the way out into the Summer of 2016. While some people may be alarmed that so many California citizens will suddenly be armed with guns, San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan believes there’s nothing to be concerned about.

Appointment booked out to the summer? How ridiculous is that? Citizens having to beg for their rights. It's disgusting.

This is what you get when the people do not get out and vote. As they say, you vote by showing up or by staying home.

In CA, permits are issued by the Sheriff in each county. State law authorizes the Chief of Police of a town to do so, but in oractice, virtually all have ceded this activity to the Sheriff. Some counties, in the eastern mountains, non urban areas, are virtually shall issue. Others are "might", some are "rather not" and a few, SF, LA, are "no way!"

They keep electing Sheriffs. The Senators, Boxer and Feinstein, can make life miserable for counties that don't "get it" but they have to be careful not to alienate the voters too much.
