Pasquotank to change sign after volley of complaints

Last week we told the Sheriff of Pasquotank what he could do with his "Gun permits/Sex offender registration" signs, and it seems enough complaints got through his thick skull to make a difference:

"Under assault from critics that included the National Rifle Association, Pasquotank County officials have decided to change a building sign that requires gun permit seekers and sex offenders to register at the same window.

Pasquotank County Manager Randy Cartwright said his office has received 17 complaints from citizens from as far away as Ohio since The Daily Advance published a story Jan. 28 about the sign in the lobby of the county's Public Safety Building. The sign, which reads "Gun permits/Sex offender registration," will be changed, he said.

"Sheriff (Randy) Cartwright and I agree that the sign is misleading and we will develop a sign that is more appropriate," Keaton said Monday. "There was no malicious intent toward gun owners and no attempt to embarrass people who are seeking gun permits."

Why do they only agree with us after the fact? Because they don't give a rats ass and respond only when their respective jobs are in jeopardy?

Yep.
