The idea that judges and reserve deputies lack very strong "Good Cause" is a little strange. I know several judges, and once was a reserve deputy. They HAVE "Good Cause." I've personally run into judges, and deputies, and lots of other people all over town. Why would they only run into good guys?
Funny -- just last Friday I was reading an account of a judge's house being firebombed by none other than William Ayres and his wife, Bernadette Dorn. Then there was the gang banger who informed me that it wouldn't be healthy for me if he went to prison. He was charged in a drive-by. He went to prison. In fact, he got out a couple years ago.

We aren't saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen with any more frequency than other professions. The fact that we are arguing about it means it's all subjective, and that is what the process is NOT supposed to be.
By the Sheriffs own words, it's supposed to be fair, but it CAN'T be, when the process is Subjective. The only way to be fair is to be Objective, and that can't happen unless the system is Shall Issue, and people can get a CCW based on Self Defence, regardless of profession (Status), because frankly, that is the ONLY way to get one, unless you are already a victim. Well, Dead is too late.
