Re: Tom Smith for Tioga County Sheriff
Kind of hard to believe a deputy under the current sheriff will change much.
The current sheriff doesn't sign off on NFA stuff except for buddies, or so I have heard.
Is the current sheriff retiring?

If you want answers to specific questions, post your questions here and I'll get them to him. I could also invite him here.

The NFA thing is irrelevant now since the recent ATF changes to the rules no longer requiring CLEO sign off.
The biggest issue was the sheriff making up his own rules when it came to LTCFs. No one wanted to challenge him in court over it so the best thing is to get a new sheriff when the election came around.
There is another Wellsboro police officer apparently running as well, but I have not heard his stance on anything yet.

I think his name is Levindoski.
Yes, I was waiting to hear what his positions were but if he's running as a dem, well, then no.

I have to edit my previous post, Levindoski is running as a Republican. I don't know his positions on the topics of interest to us.
Re: Tom Smith for Tioga County Sheriff
I met Tom today.
He will be restoring same day approval for a LTCF, reversing the 10 day policy of the current sheriff.
Re: Tom Smith for Tioga County Sheriff
On two separate occasions I have spent time talking with Tom , he is totally the opposite of the current sheriff on firearms issues. Tom is a big proponent of concealed carry,self defense training,and education of Pa's firearms laws laws. The people in the Firearms Community in Wellsboro that I know say he's the real deal!
