Sheriff Sandra Hutchens stood firm Tuesday against the county board of supervisors and hundreds of gun-owners threatening recall because of her controversial plan to reduce concealed weapons permits.

Hutchens, in the third public hearing on the issue in four months, told the crowd and county supervisors that her position had not changed since she first unveiled the new policy last fall -- despite some minor adjustments on how she plans to revoke more than 400 permits.

"I don't make the law. But I am required to enforce the law," said Hutchens, reiterating her view that California state law only allows certain exceptions to the ban on concealed guns in public.

FU, come and get mine!

“Remove me from office. Go ahead, I dare you” Not the sharpest knife in the drawer to challenge people in Orange County like this.

Maybe she will revoke the permits that were given as political favors.

Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? -- Patrick Henry

Hope you’re not holding your breath on that.

She needs to be sued. Where's a nasty, crotch-kicking lawyer when you need one ?

Recall is the least penalty that this criminal deserves.

[SoldierDad]

Where indeed! Seems that lawyers these days are mostly on her side. Lawyers with a conscience are few and far between.

RECALL ON!!!

Anyone know her salary, bonus, pension and all that?

[TNoldman]

Thanks for the post.

Why can’t the board remove her? They appointed her. Certainly even a California public official can be fired. It’s not like she was elected.

And that's what happens when you make an Affirmative Action pick.

First the Sheriff, and now the President.

Hey Sheriff!

FU, come and get mine!

Aren't you in Colorado?

[KrisKrinkle]

Do you think there are enough people who care about this in Orange County for a recall effort to be successful?

[G Larry]

You miss the point.

How many in her “jurisdiction” share my view?
