Sheriff needs concealed weapons permit czar - Total Buzz - OCRegister.com
Sheriff needs concealed weapons permit czar April 13th, 2009, 5:03 pm · posted by NORBERTO SANTANA JR. One of the hottest jobs in OC has just opened up. And so far, there’s only four takers. The gig is over at the Sheriff’s department, deciding who does – and who doesn’t – get to carry around a concealed handgun. The internal job posting calls it “one of the more demanding managerial assignments in the department.” Yet since Sheriff Sandra Hutchens tightened the rules on handing out gun permits, the job has become even tougher. It forgets to mention that whoever ends up in that slot will likely be deposed in a potential wave of lawsuits by gun activists. Add to that, constant poking from the county board of supervisors and the Republican party’s central committee who aren’t happy with LA-style gun permit rules in a conservative Orange County that got used to the loose rules enacted by former Sheriff Mike Carona. All that should make for a wild ride. The job over at the Professional Standards Division used to be coveted spot. Most lieutenants working the slot only got moved up. Lt. Jack Anderson was there in 2005 and eventually made Assistant Sheriff. Lt. Davis Nighswonger was there in 2007 and got promoted to captain. It used to be a slot that people with futures were placed in. Yet when the department posted the job opening on Apr. 3, it got only four responses in a week. Today, taking over that assignment means stepping right into the line of fire. Hutchens, like Carona before her, has said she doesn’t want to know the details of specific applications for carrying a concealed weapon. That’s up to the staff lieutenant. Good luck to whoever that turns out to be.
