"The Sheriff should be in the business of protecting peoples rights not restricting them."

Lt. Bill Hunt, Candidate for Orange County Sheriff - 2005

The following policy position is reprinted from Lt. Bill Hunt's Blueprint for a Professional Sheriff's Department and a Safer Orange County, first published in 2005.

I will issue concealed weapons permits (CCW) to any applicant who is a law abiding resident of the county, meets state mandated requirements and is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. I will depoliticize the process and establish an annual audit to review each application to ensure the process is unbiased, non-political and equitable.
