On the flip side, Kern County will not perform ANY weddings...

The Kern County Clerk Stops Performing ANY weddings.

Ms Barnett claims it is due to budgetary and security concerns around the upcoming elections, that something had to give budget wise. Wedding were the thing to had to go. {cough cough} The timing was a just a coincidence, as is the fact that her expected legal issues will be paid for by a conservative "defense of marriage" group.

This from Kern county, the only county in Calfornia in which it is reasonably easy to obtain a concealed weapons permit, (i.e. Just get the personal liability insurance, pass a brief psych evaluation and range qualification, pay the reasonable fee and you're packin' heat. No need to furnish restraining orders, threatening letters, or proof that you carry gobs of money all the time and 'NEED' a permit. No need for a thinly disguised bribe to the County Sheriff, either.)

I'd expect this sort of decision from such an area. I'm not surprised in the least.
