County board expresses concerns on new tighter policies. CCW

"We've always been known as a Republican, pro-Second Amendment, pro-gun rights county," said Greg Block, a Huntington Beach-based firearms instructor who trained many of Orange County's CCW holders over the past decade. "Now, we're being called LA County South."

Hutchens acknowledges that Carona's liberal gun permit policies were a strong source of support.

"I have had people come to me and say this could hurt me politically," she said. Yet Hutchens said she expects residents will respect that she is enforcing the spirit of the state's laws on concealed weapons.

"Bottom line: It has to be fair and equitable to everybody," Hutchens said.
