The opposition will undoubtedly make issue of such a gift, and it could end badly.
This one needs some thinking and coordination to pull off, if even possible. |
I'm just putting out some suggestions. Check with your local NRA Rep. Do whatever you feel is best and are comfortable with. My biggest concern right now, is with the fall-out from Sheriff Carona. I don't know Mike Carona, and have no opinion as to his guilt or innocence. What matters is that the OC Board of Supervisors, your local State Assemblyperson, and Senators, along with many of the OC public do believe the the Sheriff's Dept. is tainted, and want some evidence of reform. She is working under a magnifying glass right now. Beliving that a new broom sweeps clean, the new Sheriff, wishing to distance herself from the charge of "cronyism", might see CCW as an easy sacrifical cow to slaughter. Thereby displaying evidence of proactive reform. You absolutely need to let her know that such an action will not go unnoticed, and that it isn't just one or two cows, but a very large and vocal herd; that votes.
Okay off my soapbox.
