Radio Curious discusses guns and gun rights with Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman, in rural northern California.
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad and Yuko Kodama are the Assistant Producers.
Guns: Who has them, how are they obtained and what are they used for, is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious.
In this two part series on guns, we visit with Sheriff Tom Allman, of Mendocino County, in rural northern California. Tom Allman has worked in law enforcement for 38 years and has been sheriff for the last 10. He is outspoken yet respectful about marijuana cultivation and equally so about guns, when asked. Sheriff Allman is, among many other things, the person who issues a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Mendocino County.
When Sheriff Allman visited the Radio Curious studios on August 8, 2016, we began the second part of our conversation with his statement that law enforcement is trained to stop people, not to kill.
The book Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman recommends is âYes, And: How Improvisation Reverses âNo Butâ Thinking and Improves Creativity and CollaborationâLessons from The Second Cityâ by Kelly Leonard and Tom Yorton.
