If you look everywhere where a sheriff or police chief can stop a person from getting a permit or even require somebody to have a permit that is not shall issue, you will see the political will of the people there is in line with the power structure. No guy pushing paper and a patrol car can change a law and to compare like another poster did the officers and deputies who work in those areas to Nazi prison camp guards or to wish violence upon them 4 things that are completely out of their control is insane and a horrible thing to do.
Did you miss the question?
Maybe I didn’t explain well. Law enforcement leadership should come out in support of our rights and the safety of their communities, since they know in venues where CCW laws were relaxed or altogether done away with crime went down.
And as far as the “will of the people” thing goes, look up CA prop 187.
