This man, and his family, was the victim of a false report (someone accused his mother of growing marijuana to get revenge at someone else) which lead to him being harassed for CCW'ing which then lead to DSHS shutting down his AFH (Adult Family Home). The AFH was his business, so his employees will lose their job and the elderly people in the home will be evicted.

Make sure to read the whole story.

I also just found this:
https://fortress.wa.gov/dshs/adsaap...9-13 Stop Placement-Revocation-Conditions.pdf

It seems to be a report from the DSHS explaining why they are shutting him down.

WAC 388-76-10020 (1) License-Ability to provide care and services.

The provider demonstrated he lacked the judgment, understanding and ability to fulfill his
responsibility to oversee the operation of the AFH and ensure a safe environment to meet
the needs of six vulnerable adults residing in the AFH.

WAC 388-76-10750 (1)(8) Safety and maintenance.

The provider failed to maintain a safe adult family home environment per the stated need
for weapons on the premises for defense. Additionally, the provider failed to ensure that
all firearms on the premises were legal, or were locked and accessible only to authorized
persons.
They are citing his carrying of a ccw and keeping a lockbox for it at the home as a lack of judgement and inability to provide a safe environment.

From the above quote, they are trying to say that since he felt he needed to carry a gun then he must not have been providing a safe environment (because why would you need a gun if the environment was safe).

I suspect the failure to ensure all firearms on the premises were legal and inaccessible to unauthorized access charge is either complete bullshit or the investigators managed to get his father to open the safe and the father probably did not have a license... Or maybe they consider just the fact that the father new where it was was enough.

It just blows my mind that these people are so stupid to believe everything they hear. They get BS evidence of a grow operation, find it's BS and still they get into panty shitting hysterics over the son, who has no connection with the child care facility, having a legal right to carry.

This guy has a massive lawsuit on his hands. Does he have an attorney?

That's brilliant!

Next we'll see that using a seatbelt is evidence of unsafe driving. After all, why would you need a seatbelt otherwise?

I'm pretty sure anyone with a fire extinguisher shouldn't be allowed to have matches or lighters. After all, having a fire extinguisher is proof that they expect to start a fire.
 
I again pointed out that I have the right not to answer questions, and that they did not have a warrant. Upon citing the 4th and 5th amendments, I was repaid with greater threats and hostility. Not knowing the finer points of law, and in fear of the threats to take me to jail, I gave them my driver’s license as they were pressuring me to do.
...........
As I was about to walk back into my mother’s home, Tammy shouted out for them to stop me, as she had just found out (by running my information in their computers) that I was a concealed carry permit holder. At this point they became very nervous, and detained me from going anywhere.

As if we needed any more examples: this is the reason to know the laws of your area and not talk to the police.

You did it guys! Katie at Krem 2 said they've been flooded with emails from all sorts of places across the country, even one from Australia if you can believe that craziness. I, um, I gave them a copy of the meeting with DSHS, so they could... see the false statements and inconsistencies of their statements in their investigation report. There is one or two people that are upset I've done this, with probably more to come. Most notably, my dad is upset I spoke with the media, and it hurts, it breaks my heart. Please pray for us or send good energy our way, we need it. I'm going to see this through to the end, and I only hope I have enough courage to keep releasing all of the truth about what has happened. I don't like how the truth is suppressed in our society, I'm tired of it, and I'm going to take a stand, regardless of what consequences may come my way. If this turns out to be the only time in my life where I can put my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor on the line to fight my small part for liberty, I'm going to do it.

The story airs tonight on Krem 2 news in Spokane. If you live outside of Spokane, it's going to be aired on Krem 2 News Spokane's website. I've also heard my State Rep. Matt Shea, and State Senator Jeff Baxter are going to hold a press conference soon. I'll let you know more about that when I know.

Thank you so much for everything you all are doing. This is the fruit of YOUR labor. I couldn't do this without you.
Emphasis added to parts I thought were particularly good.
 
Wow. This guy talks too much. Quick! Someone send him a link to this video.

Video is right at top. Not a good nor is it a horrible hit piece. Hopefully the DSHS superiors think better of this course of action.

Wasn't there when I posted the link - must have added it shortly afterwards.

Yep, "Updated today at 6:50 PM" so 4 minutes after I posted.
