TURLOCK -- People in Turlock who want concealed weapon permits might consider running for office. Of the seven permits issued by Turlock police, two belong to City Council members. And while Councilmen Ted Howze and Kurt Spycher don't feel they got preferential treatment, Police Chief Gary Hampton confirmed that they did. "I do take into consideration people who hold political office," Hampton said Wednesday, adding that he licensed unnamed politicians when he was chief in Oakdale before going to Turlock in the summer of 2006. His reasoning includes "realizing there is a great potential for an act of violence committed against people who hold office," he said.
