Called earlier and got Kyle on the phone, seemed fairly receptive and said they’re getting a ton of calls on this.
He asked me what parts of the bill was I opposed too, and just as I started speaking my POS GD MF Apple product somehow hung up on me and called GD Aamaco Transmissions who I haven’t had business with in 10yrs. Almost threw my phone out the window.
Called back and took another 20mins waiting and then got Will on the phone, seemed immediately disinterested so I asked to speak to Kyle again as he sounded more interested than just checking boxes.
Kyle was busy so I spoke to Will, made it clear that he should take notes to pass on to the Gov about who elected him, what promises he made, and how disappointed so many of us are.
I explained clearly that I’ve been a LEO for over 2 decades in Boston, and that not ONCE, have I ever had an issue with nor have I ever had to take into custody a licensed gun owner in all that time for any reason and that from my experience LTC holders are the most polite and respectful people to encounter during a shift.
I told them that they really need to start concentrating on the gangbangers, murderers and rapists that they keep letting out the revolving door and stop making law abiding citizens into overnight criminals and that it was mind boggling to me as a LEO that this even has to be discussed.
Gave my contact info to verify who I am if needed, told them I and most LEO’s that I know, except politically appointed CoP’s, strongly oppose ERPO and to please remind Mr Baker who elected him. I also stated that I would very much like a call from the Gov to make my concerns known personally, from someone that has had to deal with real, very violent, career criminals, not the imaginary ones that only push a single political agenda to further the Attorney Generals or some politicians career.
I doubt I’ll get my call, unless it’s to tell me I’m fired. F**k it. I’m tired and disgusted anyway, but at least made it clear what and who’s side I’m on.
