Matt is the only challenger in the race for Los Angeles County Sheriff who has called for the Recall of George Gascon. Murders in Los Angeles have increase dramatically. After the recent murders of three women, Matt took a stand against this lawlessness. One elderly woman was murdered in her home in Beverly Hills. The second, a UCLA student was brutally murdered at work. Finally, an elderly nurse was murdered while commuting to work, while waiting for a bus.
Matt realized that there is not justice in George Gascon’s vision of justice. Matt signed the petition to Recall George Gascon. He is calling on all his supporters to support this recall effort.

When discussing personal safety, two factors arise… your Second Amendment rights and the local policies that either support your rights to defend yourself and your loved ones with a legal and registered firearm… or strip you of them. Yes my friends, we’re talking about the long-embattled CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) debate.
There are two primary CCW policies: “Good-Cause” and Shall-Issue” … these titles are a bit deceiving so let me explain their common definitions.
Good-Cause means that you may be awarded a CCW by your local Sheriff or Police Chief if your reason is a valid one in their eyes via some special circumstance, such as an active threat upon your life or a special kind of employment where you may be carrying money or valuables within the public space—no CCW will be granted without a special circumstance that they deem valid.
Basically…Your Constitutional Right to carry a firearm on your person for Personal Defense is not a good enough reason to issue a CCW under the Good-Cause policy.
Conversely, Shall-Issue CCW Policy respects the Citizen’s Constitutional Right to protect themselves and their loved ones via a legally-owned and registered concealed firearm without the need to have a “special circumstance” or a hazardous vocation… and folks that is where I stand on this issue—As your Sheriff I’ll end Alex Villanueva’s restrictive Good-Cause CCW policy, replacing it with a Shall-Issue CCW program that respects the people’s Constitutional right to protect themselves with a firearm.
Now to be very clear… I’ll have a reasonable yet thorough application and background criteria to ensure that the CCWs I issue are being issued to the sane, responsible, law-abiding citizens of LA County. Again, safety is the number one goal.
