Smith changes mind, would not submit Larimer County CCW names to state database
By Trevor Hughes • TrevorHughes@coloradoan.com • September 15, 2010
The Republican candidate for Larimer County Sheriff says he changed his mind after hearing the "angst" of voters and will withdraw from a state database the names of people who hold concealed carry weapons permits if he's elected.
Justin Smith's change of heart earned him the endorsment of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners activist group, which had endorsed his primary-election opponent largely on that issue. Smith had initially said he would carry on the practice of incumbent Sheriff Jim Alderden of submitting the names to the database.
About 70 percent of county sheriffs submit the names of CCW holders to the database, which is maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
