Veteran thrown in jail over unregistered weapons

Submitted by lightseeker009 on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 11:17

I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but its a guy who lives down the street from me and it's quite the case. I'm usually just a lurker here, but I thought people on the DP should read this.

Here's the start of an excellent news piece on it

"Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an officer ready to tackle him, so he dropped to his knees and crossed his ankles to demonstrate complete defenselessness.

“They immediately zip-tied me tighter than I would have been allowed to zip-tie an Iraqi,” Sgt. Corrigan said, pulling up his dress shirt cuff to show his wrist. “We had to check to fit two fingers between the tie and the Iraqi’s wrist so we weren’t cutting off circulation. They tied mine so tight that they hurt.”

Richard Gardiner, Sgt. Corrigan’s attorney, still questions whether this initial arrest was legal, since at this point the only thing the police had was the word of a VA operator saying he claimed to be a gun owner. They had no warrant. Police spokesman Gwendolyn Crump would not comment on the case.

On Wednesday, the next part in the series will explain how the police SWAT team searched the veteran’s home without a warrant - all because he was exercising a right that is supposed to be protected under the Constitution."

Sad...

Vets are targeted because they have a particular set of skills that could be used to defend the constitution... Life... Liberty... Property...

by the way Vets.. the VA spies on you all the time!

They turn over thousands of names a month the the ATF for
gun confiscations because you PTSD or some other hogwash they
go Vets to say they had to get better "benefits"...

Vets be aware of who you talk to...

That's a crime. What happened to all the privacy laws pertaining to you and your doctor? At the pharmacies, you have to 'stand behind the line' while someone is turning in their stupid paper for so called medicine.

This is why

I told my husband to answer "no" when the VA asks if he owns guns. Technically, the guns are mine, so he wouldn't be lying.
