I am reassured to note that Chuck Curry, the Flathead County Sheriff, has demonstrated a very reasonable approach to the current frenzy dealing with the various perceptions of gun control. By not joining others in similar positions, who have taken extreme positions based on marginal expectations of the nature of possible gun control measures which may, or may not, be proposed by the federal government, he has shown the good sense to wait and see what actions actually get taken before he decides how he will respond.  

I give Chuck a good deal of credit for taking this measured position on a sensitive issue. Flathead County is fortunate to have a sheriff who takes time to consider all of the ramifications of any statements or positions that he may choose to make or take.  

I feel confident that Sheriff Curry will take reasonable actions to implement whatever sensible precautions which may be devised to minimize the possibility of an attack on our citizens by someone with a mental deficiency.
