I do think the Constable in question had every right to *request* Mr. Rotz to leave his firearm in the car. I can ask to enter your home if I believe a person is inside for whom I have a warrant. In both instances, "no" is an answer you can use - and have every right to use.

And at this point, I'm glad we are all on the same page.

The problem now begins when the constable did not like "no" for an answer, and proceeded to use his position and influence to instigate proceedings with the local sherrif to revoke gnbrotz LTCF, which, in fact, it appears they did.

I applaud each and every LEO who works within the law to
perform their sworn duty. Any others that abuse the powers of their office need to identified ASAP, and be either re-educated or removed from said duty.
The faith and good will of the people towards all LEOs is of paramount importance to all concerned.

Stay safe,
