Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva vowed Wednesday to expand concealed carry permits amid skyrocketing crime after revealing a staggering 95 percent increase in homicides in 2021 when compared to the same period last year.
During an Instagram Live video, Villanueva exposed the latest homicide statistics and said the department would increase the number of concealed carry permits issued so that citizens are able to defend themselves.
“All huge numbers, all very, very troublesome,” Villanueva said. “I’m going to identify this as ‘existential threat number one,’ particularly for people who live in communities where they have a large percentage of African American and Latino residents. You are the ones that are in the impact zone, that are mostly impacted by this existential threat.”
Fox LA’s Bill Melugin broke down the sheriff’s statistics on Twitter, noting a 40 percent increase in grand theft auto, a 7.8 percent increase in rape, a 12.9 percent increase in aggravated assault, and a 22 percent increase in arson.
Villanueva also condemned the city’s inaction on the rise in crime.
“I have yet to hear a single motion from the Board of Supervisors addressing this. Not one,” he said, later adding, “We have less cops on the street, more crooks, less consequences. What could go wrong with that combination, right?”
The sheriff went on to say that the department has increased its capacity to process concealed carry permits.

I am going to the Needles DMV next week to get a CA ID card, required for Application.
Heard that on Tucker. But, in that area does that mean 100/yr instead of 50? How many do they issue?
CA’s AR-15 ban was just overturned by a federal judge yesterday...
This is actually surprising.
he should not have anything to say if you want to keep or bear arms
he is sworn to uphold the US Constitution
This Sheriff has turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
The black racists on the LA county board desperately want to get rid of the Mexican sheriff. The sheriff’s department and the woke racists on the board have been feuding for months.
The black leftists want the sheriff gone and are agitating for the county board to appoint the sheriff, and not allow citizens to vote for a sheriff.
The racists don’t like Sheriff Alex Villanueva because he represents his voters and not a bunch of slimy politicians.
I hope he wins!
I was going to ask if they were trying to end the “homeless” problem by having private citizens kill them in self-defense, but if the Sheriff is a good guy, that’s probably not happening.
95% increase? CA may actually turn Red.
The article goes back and forth between city and county. The sheriff is the sheriff of the entire county, yes?
