“I think concealed carry permits should be handed out subjectively with an objective standard,” the chief said. “We’re a crowded place. … The last thing I need is people that aren’t trained on firearms who may not be in the right frame of mind from being so scared or having a cocktail or two. I would much rather they rely on us.”

Handed out subjectively using an objective standard?!?! WTF? That’s classic political double speak for, “you aren’t getting one unless the mayor says I have to give you one or we play poker on a regular basis together.” The good news is, the chief may not have a choice on that much longer now that the “good cause” clause commonly applied to Californa concealed carry permits has been struck down by the 9th Circuit.

Problem is Chief, you aren’t there when it hits the fan.
I get what he’s trying to say.. I mean , just recently I went to an awesome indoor range and I had to remind a patron not to handle his firearm behind the firing line. SOme knuckleheads out there don’t have the benefit of my eagle eye watching them…always watching.
I’m always surprised when the 9th Circuit does anything remotely related to common sense.
