Rumors about these problems and more surfaced during the last election.
It also didn’t help that after the election he seemed to have a vendetta out for the guy who ran against him during the election, a current sheriff deputy at the time.
It is also an open secret that getting concealed carry in Orange County is next to impossible, so his giving them to campaign contributors is an extra no-no.
It also came out during the last election that he was a big supporter of illegal aliens.
That might explain the support he has gotten from GWB in the past.
There may be a lot going on but preferential issuance of CCW is not one of them. This guy gave almost anyone who could come up with any decent reason a CCW and you didn’t have contribute a penny to him to get one. Trust me on this one. I know it for a personal fact and have always considered it one of his greatest attributes.
