live blogging oc bos meeting - its packed

0942
lots of sheriffs and police presence, main hall full. overflow almost full. ccw agenda item is last.

happened to sit down next to another ccw supporter who comes to these meetings regularly, he said he'd never seen it this packed.

80 public speakers on the ccw issue. potentially 4 hours of discussion. WIN

they've recommended those with other business check back at 1pm. leaving only those here for ccw. main meeting room still full, overflow about 1/3. hutchens talking now

1058
they're bringing up approving ccws but adding strictions. good

doesn't look like she's enjoying the hot seat

1103
her numbers don't add up. hmmm.

1108
she says her hands are tied as to what the law is for good cause, except she has SOLE discression. bos is putting it to her.

1117
the peanut gallery is issuing light laughter at hutchens' statements. loud enough to be heard on teevee.

1140
bos has legal advisor speaking with impartial legal specialist, but legal specialist usually works for bos chairman. some supervisors didn't care for that, audience approved of the disapproval.

1155
revocation showing up on your record has been brought up. very good.

running long, and approaching lunch, bos called for a standing vote of more lenient ccw policy, and 90% stood

on lunch, just heard an unofficial count at 280. also spotted local gun shop proprietor. j&j armory will definitely get my continued business

little bit of gun talk going on in the hall during lunch. surely everyone is in fear for their lives...

an emotional moment when a handicapped public speaker talked about his inabi ity to defend himself. a standing ovation and thunderous applause.
