Evidently this guy is still working as a firefighter and was never charged with a crime. This shouldn't have gone gown the way it was stated. If there were real answers to all this they wouldn't be telling him to answer the questions on the form. Evidently he has the right to have the firearms so it all comes down to giving them back without all the bureaucratic mumbo jumbo...or saying he is still a threat to himself or others. Even TBO knows if they considered him a threat to anyone he wouldn't be where he is now(after 3 yrs)... And they also wouldn't even consider giving the guns back to him. Something of the same nature happened locally(in the good part of Maryland) and the guns were given back within a week after the guy was evaluated. Turned out an ex wife called the suicide threat in(getting even??)
Hey TBO...have you ever seen anyone try to get even with someone else by doing something like this to someone they perceive as an enemy? If you are a cop(as I assume you are) I'm sure you have. Heck after working with the police for all those years I made an observation that they aren't any more honest or dishonest than the average person. I have also observed that the average cop seems to use less common sense than the average citizen. All the rules tend to squelch practical thinking...but that isn't the patrol cops fault. I wonder why you always seem to support the police...whether they seem to be right or wrong. I've seen cops do things they shouldn't do...and so have you...Give it a break and do some original posts for once in your life...on something other than a police or law issue.
