--this SOB, at least a few years ago, was one of the leading anti-gun members of the Commiefornia state legislature--hope he ends up in a Federal pen--
At the same time he wanted to deny the rights of Californians to self defense, he had a concealed weapons permits from the State, Dept. of Justice. Perata claimed he had received "threats" on his life. The threats were due to his illegal activities , not his anti-gun legislation.
Since Perata is under investigation, shouldn't the CA DOJ ask for his CCW and weapon? If it was you or I or a Republican state senator under such suspicion, you can bet we'd get a "knock-on-the-door" from Bill Lockyer demanding any arms we may have.
