Do you really think it's reasonable to allow someone like that to carry a concealed weapon?

The right to keep and bear arms is a God-given civil right. The government cannot "allow" it.

Sorry, but the right to "bear" arms is the right.

Carrying them in a concealed manner is a privilege.

Otherwise the 2nd amendment (my personal favorite, BTW) would have explicitly allowed it.

Are you guys really saying that anyone who wants a CCW permit should just be arbitrarily allowed to have one?

And no, I'm not a "cops are always right" guy (even though, or perhaps because, I used to be one). That's why I caveatted my remarks about the Sheriff. With the information provided in this write-up, I would say he's justified (IMO).

I'm saying that he has already demonstrated his lack of judgment, and denial of CCW appears to be one of the consequences.

By your logic, since Clinton hasn't raped anyone since Juanita Broderick, we should let him run a halfway house for wayward cheerleaders.
