The next thing about to get tossed is permits to purchase and ccw permits. Can't wait!

One sheriff here was using pistol permit funds to buy FOP memberships for his deputies so that he would have control of the local FOP lodge.

Here, sheriffs can use pistol permit money for anything they want. No accountability slush funds.

Some sheriffs also apparently gave CCW permits to convicted felons. Got our no background check skip at the FFL canceled.

Before 1994 or so, it's what we tennesseans had to do. We had to bribe the sheriff to get a permit. Going rate here in Hamilton County was about $500 to $1,000.

Thankfully we went to the shall issue in 94.

Yeah permits are dumb. I didn't bother for years in Utah. A permit isn't worth much inside Utah. It does allow you go carry in a school and I think you can carry a rifle in your car with a round in the chamber (there might be some goofy hunting rule exception)

Arizona doesn't require them either. Nevada does.*

I keep a civilian permit because my department requires a qual with every pistol you might carry off duty.

Nope.  California law provides that upon conviction, the time during which the offender was committing the misconduct in question will not be pensionable.  Example: if dipshit undersheriff was pulling his scam for X amount of years, his pension will be based on Total Time - X.  If X is a big number, sucks to be him.  He will get his pension withholdings returned, however.
