I posted a few days ago about a gun owner getting his license revoked for failure to change his address. This same town has now suspended a fellow constable's LTC.
As you know, I'm a constable. So the scenario played out the same way as last time... I get a phone call asking about costs. I quoted this gentleman for the service and followed up with who he needed to be served. He replied the city of ******* CoP.
I asked him him if it was firearm related. Of course he said yes and again I immediately said there was no charge for my service. He actually works for said town's DPW full time, and he's a constable part time like me.
He he was in a neighboring town doing a service as a constable. Acting in full capacity of a "LEO." After getting no answer at the door, he sat in his truck and was making a few phone calls. 15 minutes may have passed because he is working. A nosey neighbor called the police for a "suspicious vehicle."
police come, ask him for L&R. He realizes he forgot his wallet at home which obviously had his LTC. When the police asked if there were any weapons, he said yes. Police officer ran his information, CONFIRMED his LTC was valid.
They STILL confiscated his forearm and said it was procedure. The PO told him to contact his issuing town's license officer to receive his pistol back. When he contacted his hometown PD, they notified him his license will be suspended for 6 months and he had to bring his handguns to the station within 24 hours or put them on consignment/sell them and bring paperwork for verification.
When he questioned the licensing officer why his license was being suspended, he was told "you are not suitable to carry a firearm"
WOW.
Thankfully he he has free lawyer service through his union at the DPW. he is bringing the chief to court. 2nd complaint in the matter of days.
This should be interesting.
A few caveats: I Will Not say the name of the issuing town nor the neighboring town. I don't want them messing with my license.
Opinions?
