questions to Candidates for Sac County Sheriff

Dear Mr. Jones;

As a citizen living in Sacramento County the choice for Sacramento County Sheriff is very important to me and my family.  Having spent over 10 years working
in an Emergency Department as a Registered Nurse I have seen the effects violence has on a community. 

Since it is a fact that the Sheriff's Deputies cannot truly protect us (that is not meant as a reflection on the Officers, but simple reality in our world at this time) the
overriding concern I have is how I can keep my family and myself, safe.  Certainly it is obvious that my main question has to do with the 2nd Amendment, and
more specifically how it is interpreted by our Sheriff.  That being said what is your feelings on law abiding citizens being allowed to carry a concealed weapon?

Since Florida first opened the floodgates on concealed carry the anti-gun folks have not seen any of their dire predicitions come to pass.  There is a large and
growing pile of statistics and evidence that not only does concealed carry not increase crime but does just the opposite.  While the number of Deputies and
services are hamstrung by the economy we are each charged with our own self protection and protection of our families.

This brings me to the questions I hope you will answer.

1.  What are your feelings on citizens right to carry?

2.  Will you make Sacramento County a "shall issue" county, as several surrounding counties already are?

Thank you for your responses.
