Shortly after Anaheim cop Craig Hunter announced his candidacy for OC Sheriff, a PAC called OCCCWS jumped to endorse him. Of course we found that interesting, since “Ordinary California Citizens Concerned With Safety” is primarily focused on issuance of concealed weapons permits to civilians, an issue on which candidate Bill Hunt has taken the most pro-2nd amendment stance possible.
So why wouldn’t this gun PAC get behind Bill Hunt instead of launching their own candidate?
According to our sources, OCCCWS is a front for a company called “Greg Block Firearms Training” in Huntington Beach. Those who have been following the improvements to the concealed weapons permit (CCW) process over the years know that Greg Block was a civilian who Mike Carona allowed to hold unusual influence within the OC Sheriff’s department.

The attacks against Hunt have been down right vicious on the OC Register. I think this sheds some light on the subject of what the hell is going on.
Thanks for posting. Hunter will be the Ralph Nader, vote stealer of the OC Sheriff’s race… I wonder how long it took Greg to find a possible candidate for OC Sheriff whose name was so similar to the other candidates that it’s bound to cause confusion. Way to go Greg… You just dealt a terrific blow to the CCW cause. I’m sure Hutchens is dancing on air….
