Re: Sheriff
I've been waiting to learn more about him. Have you spoken with him about his platform or do you know him personally? I have sent him an email inviting him to coffee cause he seems open to that.

Re: Sheriff
OK for starters He Will sign off on ATF forms 1 and 4. He went into his speach about the 2nd. Can't quote it but he seemed to be strong there.
I ask if he would issue LTCF to out of staters IAW the law he said yes and stated your 2nd rights don't stop at the state border.
As you know Tom won't do either of those things. As you know saying your a strong supporter of the 2nd and getting specific about it are two different thingsUSNRET '61-'81

Re: Sheriff
Yes I know. My GF god rest her soul baby sat him when he was young and she knew the family well I voted for him when he assured me he was a strong 2nd amendment supporter. I would say that statement lacked veracity. which reminds me of that old expression. "how can you tell when a politician is lying? When their lips are moving."

Re: Sheriff
Yes, there seems to be some local dissatisfaction with the current sheriff, to the point some that very vocally supported him to get him into office are not too happy right now. So I hear. I haven't gotten a lot of details yet, but I do know that he will not issue LTCF permits to any out of staters and he will not sign off on any NFA forms.
The LTCF ruling I understand is not one he can make, yet he has not been challenged on it. One thing to remember is that quite a few people have cabins, holiday homes and permanently parked RV's up here and some are from out of state, so it's not like just random people turning up to grab a PA LTCF just for the heck of it.
One thing I can say is I don't know exactly what the sheriff department here does, except maybe run the jail, provide security for the courthouse and serve some warrants. I never see them patrolling and usually the patrol cars are stacked up at the courthouse. In other counties I have lived in down south and out west, the county sheriff deputies seemed very proactive and visible in local law enforcement and I don't see any of that here.

Re: Sheriff
I wish you luck in electing a sheriff that supports the 2A more than the popular meaning of the words.
