More Evidence Of Pay-To-Play Emerges In CA Concealed Carry Probe

For several months now, the Santa Clara District Attorney s office has been investigating allegations that Laurie Smith, the Santa Clara County sheriff, has been engaged in the corrupt practice of granting concealed carry licenses to those who fork over cash for her campaign coffers.

The San Jose Mercury News has done a solid job of reporting on the ongoing investigation, and their latest report is a doozy. According to some recently released records from the sheriff s office, it sure looks like Sheriff Smith and her staff have a policy that favors those with power and influence , as the paper puts it.
