Breitbart: Fresno Mayor Lee Brand (R) has a concealed carry permit and carries his concealed handgun on the job but opposes a measure that would allow city workers with permits to carry their guns as well.
The Fresno Bee confirmed this on July 31.
On July 30 Breitbart News reported that Brand opposes Councilman Garry Bredefeld’s (I-Dist. 6) proposal to allow all city workers with concealed carry permits to carry while on the job. The Bee quoted Bredefeld saying, “We have code enforcement officers and other employees working out in the community, and some of them have been threatened. They should have the opportunity to protect themselves and potentially protect others.”
Bredefeld also cited the April 18, 2017, shooting in which Kori Ali Muhammad allegedly killed three people on the streets of Fresno. He suggested the attack was one of many “instances where people with a CCW (concealed-carry weapon) license have been able to prevent such loss of life.” more
…..Because he’s more important than all you unimportant people, huh? Asshole
This double standard hypocrisy stuff has got to stop!
At least he is not hypocritical, maybe he is in the wrong political potty! He belongs in the A.H. Potty.
People ought to start addressing him as “His Highness”. Let him see that in a few newsclips and newpaper stories and city websites then have his opponents in the next election use it during debates and whenever they discuss his policies.
Well, it makes sense … those who (purportedly) serve the people need to be protected from those people with the threat (and possible execution) of deadly force.
See how that works? The Mayor is above even all the other “public servants” in that he has access to deadly force while those subservient to him, though superior to those they “serve,” don’t!
“Service” ain’t what it used to be … and neither are “servants.”
izlamo delenda est …
City employees carrying guns would be a nightmare. You’re not allowed to carry a gun inside any State or Federal Building. You know, WHERE THEY WORK. The mayor should unstrap too until they change those laws prohibiting carry in Government buildings.
Bet the mayor has a half sister named Rosie “the fat pig” Odonnell.
Not for the “little people”.
Not all gun owners are responsible people and since the city has the deep pockets, they would have to pay dearly if one idiot did wrong. Wish it were different but its not. Oh and since I trust me more than others I might do the same.
Arming Dog Catchers, Process Servers and Tax Collectors does not sound like a good idea to me. And Fresno County is REAL friendly to CCW’s. I think Breihtbart got this one totally wrong.
Do as I say, not as I do
