Default Re: Report shows confusion on gun dispute

Quote:
Assistant District Attorney Corey Kolcharno said he and police handled the situation as best they could given that they were clueless as to what the law was regarding open carry of firearms.
There, fixed that.

Quote:
Mr. Kolcharno said officers told him the gun was not in a concealed-weapons license database
Even after more than 10 days to think about it and prepare an accurate statement, the ADA still says something stupid like this.

“I felt at that point, looking at the case law and consulting with other attorneys, that they should confiscate the weapon,” Mr. Kolcharno said.
Yeah, I'm sure that's just what he did. I'd love to see what case law he looked at that led him to the conclusion that the GUN should be confiscated and who the attorneys were that he consulted with and agreed.

These guys have had over a week to think about it and get their story straight, yet they dig themselves in deeper with statement to the press. A simple, "we're sorry, we'll go over it at our next training meeting to make sure everyone in the department is properly educated and trained to handle a situation like this in the future" could have put this to bed an hour after it happened, and everyone might have shaken hands and walked away, but the egos involved just couldn't back off once they started proving their ignorance.
