San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore is up for re-election. In the run up to that blessed event, Sheriff Gore is facing mounting criticism for his department’s extreme reluctance to issue concealed carry permits to law-abiding citizens. Gore’s playing the unrepentant, don’t-blame-it-on-me, steady-as-she-goes, no-gun-for-you-bub card. “Gore says that would require a change in the state law,” signonsandiego.com reports. “Under existing law, he said his department requires someone to prove that they are ‘a specific target in contrast to a random target’ that distinguishes the person from the general population.” Like . . . being female? Homosexual? A non-criminal living in a high crime neighborhood? No, no and definitely no. So, what then?
