.....the number of Iowans with permits to carry concealed weapons increased 154 percent during the first year of relaxed laws governing their issuance.
As I recall, 1- it's not a permit to carry concealed weapons. It is a permit to carry weapons. Concealed or open is up to you. 2-Relaxed? The word you are looking for is uniform. There is a reason Sheriff "arming the criminals" in Johnson county went from 552 (of his supporters?) to 2270 citizens. Sheriffs issued blanket denials, or penciled in nonsensical rules for validity, like must be carrying $X, or only when hunting or going to gun range, for example. I'm also guessing the 381 criminals cited for Johnson County must be for pretty pissant crimes. Guess the good sheriff did not want to go before a judge 381 times explaining why he denied these hardened perpetrators permits. Please expound on the evil nature of these crimes. And the 'just because they can' and 'I don't know why [the response has been so dramatic]' quotes. I don't see them bringing Grand Theft Auto night or the fine meth industry up in the tourism ads, but the dirtbags are out there, even in our little paradise.
Lonnie is a liberal idiot pisswit. My comment in the paper was that if he's issuing permits to criminals, maybe the ATF should pay him a visit. I think when they had Innocent until proven guilty day at sheriff school he was absent. Johnson county and Iowa City deserve him.
