Who I won't be voting for to be the next Sheriff in Delaware County ROCCO J. POLIDORO
Based on this letter, he sounds very anti 2nd.

Letter to the Editor: Keep locals in control of issuing gun permits
To the Times: As the Democratic candidate for Delaware County sheriff, I am calling on the county’s state senators and state representatives to denounce the proposed bill that state Sen. Richard Alloway, R-Adams County, will be submitting any day. Alloway’s bill, if enacted into law, will take away local control in issuing permits to carry a concealed firearm from the local sheriff’s department and pass it on to other county sheriff departments within Pennsylvania.
If I am elected as your sheriff on Nov. 5, I will not issue any permits to any Pennsylvania resident who live outside Delaware County. In our society of gun violence, it is clear that a large majority of Americans want to see mandatory background checks at all sales of firearms. I believe the same majority want their county sheriff to be more responsible in issuing permits to those citizens who want to carry a concealed weapon.
State law requires that each county sheriff is charged with issuing and renewing permits to owners who want to carry a concealed gun. The reason was so that the sheriff would be able to check with the neighbors and the local police who may know the applicant. If the neighbors or the local police believe that the applicant is not a good, responsible person, then the permit can be denied.
Sen. Alloway’s bill will take the control away from the local sheriff and pass it on to a sheriff in another county within the state. His law will make it easier for thousands of Pennsylvania residents, who normally would be denied in their home county, to shop around and find a sheriff department that has a lenient background policy and obtain a permit to carry a concealed gun throughout the state.
As a veteran and a gun owner myself, I support the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. But as your sheriff, I will not take any donations from the National Rifle Association and I will do whatever I can to make Delaware County safer for all of our towns and boroughs.

The problem with that is that the voters don't know the law.
George,
So many guns, so little money.

His office is down the street from my house. Can one erect a sign "near" his property stating his anti 2nd amendment views?

Re: Who I won't be voting for to be the next Sheriff in Delaware County ROCCO J. POLI
I'm not voting for the guy, but it seems like his message was taken the wrong way. The way I see it he wouldn't issue a permit to someone who isn't from Delco. Like when i lived in Lancaster county why would i expect the Delco sheriff to issue me a permit or vice versa. I would assume he thinks this would inherently cut back on people skipping local background checks by going to another county sheriff. He isn't saying anything at all about not doing them in its entirety.
