No being able to profile is why you have to go through a goat rope to ride on the airlines. The Sheriff in Madison County has demonstrated his his trustworthiness on the subject. In his case, and his case only (I don't know enough about other Sheriffs in the state, or who may replace our Sheriff should he lose his next election, to make a blanket statement), I don't have a problem with him being permitted to use his discretion. The only possible "infringement" he can apply under state law is barring you from carrying in a vehicle or carrying concealed. Refusal to issue a permit does not bar you from owning a pistol. It does restrict what you can do with it.

Slippery slope I readily admit, but if you were the Sheriff charged with issuing carry permits and a man whom your deputies had responded to numerous calls (think that crazy SOB who killed the bus driver and kidnapped the kid near Dothan) applied for a permit, would you want a law forcing you to issue that permit? Bottom line, in Madison County, you apply for a permit and you get said permit. We have a state that with few exceptions believes strongly in the Bill of Rights. We're by no means immune to future attacks on our rights, but we're not Illinois either.
