Guns: Who has them, how are they obtained and what are they used for, is the topic of this week’s Radio Curious.
In this, the first of a 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 years. 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.
We visited at the studio of Radio Curious on August 8, 2016, and began our conversation when I asked Sheriff Allman to describe the gun he was carrying on his belt.
The book Sheriff Tom Allman recommends is “Yes, And: How Improvisation Reverses “No But” Thinking and Improves Creativity and Collaboration—Lessons from The Second City” by Kelly Leonard and Tom Yorton.
Radio Curious airs Tuesday afternoons from 4:30 to 5 p.m.
