I tagged along with a lawyer friend this morning while he tied up some loose ends in the hopes we could sneak off to do some shooting. While at the courthouse I was introduced and had a cup of coffee with the County Sheriff for the first time. He is a big, friendly man not past his prime, but obviously an experienced lawman with instructor credentials. The size of his two young deputies was a reminder of how physical the job must get. Casual conversation indicated to me he much supported concealed carry. Everyone in the office carried a locked and cocked .45. Upstairs I met the DA, a busy lady who was still very approachable, but I suspect wouldn't tolerate much bs. I got the impression she was fairly neutral on concealed carry but definitely not against it. In the lobby, we bumped into a judge in too much of a hurry to talk. Over his shoulder was what looked like a large Bagmaster with a couple of gun publications in the side pocket. I was informed he is an active IDPA shooter and has a range just off his living room. Back at the office I learned the attractive receptionist at the front desk was carrying. Dang wedding ring! All in all an enjoyable and informative morning.
