Dart's Stupidity Continues

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has decided that the Concealed Carry Law is going to be completely unworkable because, get this, he doesn't have enough power to deny people permits to carry:

• Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart on Tuesday took aim at the state's concealed carry law that takes effect next month, calling it a “monstrosity” that is “fraught with problems and holes” and vowing to object to permits being issued to those arrested even once in the last seven years for domestic violence, gun possession or gang crimes.
  
  Dart wouldn't rule out going to court to seek an injunction to block what he called an “absolutely absurd” approval process, saying the law will result in permits being issued to people who shouldn't have them.
  
  “This is not something I'm going to blindly go along with, saying, ‘All right, they've done it again to us in Springfield, another law that doesn't make any sense and we're just going to stand back and do it,'” Dart told reporters at the sheriff's police headquarters in Maywood.

The Illinois State Police has a system in place....:

• The law tasks Illinois State Police with overseeing the permit process but gives county sheriffs, state's attorneys, local police and the attorney general's office the power to object to a permit being issued. When objections are made, a review board will decide if the permits will be issued.

....but that's not good enough for Tom "I know better than you what's good for you" Dart. And don't even get him started on the "mental health" exceptions he wants to carve out:

• He said the screening for mentally ill applicants is also woefully inadequate and flags only those who have been committed to a hospital for psychiatric treatment or been found by a physician to be a danger to themselves.

Um....what other methods are there? ESP? Maybe complaints by an ex-wife or husband?  Anyone the sheriff thinks might be unstable without a shred of proof whatsoever?

Dart bitches a lot but seems to have no solutions except more government intrusion and Big Brother-type solutions. No thanks.
