A California assemblyman detained for trying to bring a loaded gun on an airplane said it was a mistake, but that he‘s usually armed because of the death threats he’s received for his anti-illegal immigration views.

FULAT. We all know how illegal immigration tickles your fancy.
It is very difficult to get a CC in CA. No mention if he is licensed. Maybe Govt people don’t need a license..what is the answer?
There, fixed it.
He still needs a CCW that must be signed by the County Sheriff. I'm not sure which county he lives in, his district has parts of both LA and San Bernardino. As a state legislator almost any Sheriff will sign off on a permit.
If he was carrying an unlicensed firearm the perverts at the LAT would’ve made a big deal about it.
In this case he seeks to protect himself from non-citizens. But point well taken.
Of course if this were Joe law abiding citizen, instead of a an agent with the government, they would have been thrown in a cage and face prison time, fines, fees, loss of assets etc.
Big time double standard!
He still has to do a DOJ check to qualify and demonstrate competency with a firearm. That being said, I know the Sheriff in SB does give out CCWs.
But even with the CCW he still has to check the firearm before boarding.
How come the glaring double standard?
Millions of law abiding people are required, as part of their jobs to go into dangerous inner city neighborhoods and actually perform work. Millions of others are required to make cash/receipt deposits, travel through dangerous areas, etc.
Is Assemblyman Tim Donnelly required to do this?
Not hardly.
I really dislike the controlling government elite dictating who they allow to protect themselves, and who are not allowed to protect themselves.
How is it, those in government are allowed to protect themselves, but other law abiding citizens in certain venues or states are not?
This is very disturbing.
Come on now.
The Sheriff picks and chooses who gets to protect themselves. This is no secret.
It's not based on if one is a law abiding citizen or not.
It's all about who is well connected, are they a business owner who contributes to political campaigns, someone connected to the Sheriff? A county insider who has relatives in high places?

Is Assemblyman Tim Donnelly required to do this?
No!
Is the SB Sheriff required to do this unarmed?
Not hardly.
I don't think anyone questioned that point.
But even with the CCW he still has to check the firearm before boarding.
Nor has that point been disputed by anyone.
In other words, if you do not pass the DOJ check, you DO NOT get a CCW, it does not matter that one is an elected official.
Law abiding citizen? You most certainly do have to be law abiding..do you have a CCW?
Correct. No one has disputed that.
