Bald men with lots of tattoos and piercings can be scary too. Shall we ban them?
Oh let's not please, my hair looks silly when I let it grow out.

wonder if, in light of Heller, which was predicated on a "civil rights" argument, and the current suit by Heller's attorneys for expenses (also based on the right to be reimbursed for"civil rights" cases), there is not going to be sufficient basis to bring suit against INDIVIDUAL police officers who abbrogate our civil rights. I don't remember the Chapter and verse, but there is a section in the US Code that addresses threats "under color of law".
Interesting thread. Here is my question.
As an employee of the state....I am told I cannot carry or transport any firearm in my state issued vehicle. I travel 2-4 thousand miles a month in my job. Would the rule by civil service be a violation of state law?
Not specifically trying to hijack the thread....but would sure like to ask those who might know.
Mrs. Selena,Officers'Wife said:Interesting, if I remember right concealed carry was outlawed because it was believed if a person felt the need to hide their weapon they must have nefarious intent. Now Michigan is saying if you hide the weapon you are being considerate to the sensibilities of others and if not concealing must be assumed to have nefarious intent.
I wish these people would make up their minds!

It appears state statute regarding openly carrying firearms pre-empts local ordinances, he said. The charges will be dismissed without prejudice and arrangements are being made for the man to get his gun back, Yonker said.
ants said:In all of these threads, our members say that he'll get rich on the settlement.
But we don't really want monetary settlements. Dick Heller didn't get a settlement from DC. In fact, I believe we are being too small to see it in terms of monetary settlements.
Instead, we should see this in terms of correcting unreasonable laws. We must take each of these unqualified arrests as an opportunity to get the United States back on course, not an opportunity to get money.
Bravo.BTW: Mr. Fetters has pledged to donate any monetary award to a fund to be set up for defending such freedoms in the future.

The officers acted in good faith and were enforcing the ordinance, Yonker said, but the city decided not to continue with the case.
that's for you to decide, but I it's a case that needs hearing, so I donated.
