Hassled at the polls for OCing

[Shawn.L]

As has been said before, when you post what you need you can count me in on doing my part. From what you said before it sounds like the cop is just trying to pull a power trip. I love our country and do believe in our system to a degree, but I know from personal experiance that you will usually only get as much justice as you can afford.

If they can't cite charges (which is likely), any bets on whether they'll try and make the case that his interaction with the constable at the polling place was unreasonable and lead the sheriff to conclude that he would act in a manner dangerous to public safety?

Probably. Pretty short sighted of them though.
Carrying a gun, in a legal way, is not a danger to the public. Otherwise they would have to revoke all LTCF's because you actually used them

No charges are pending against you, right gnbrotz?

Makes sense, but that's WAY subjective and there are many letters that demonstrate he was as cool as a cucumber and acting within the law.

Slippery slope with this one. "reasonable" could be judged by screaming and yelling on one end, to very politely refusing to place the handgun in the car and explaining the laws. (what happened in this case) It's too subjective. To this constable who expected everyone to bow at his authority and ignorance of the law I'm sure almost anything could me construed as unreasonable.

His post cited "apparent illegal manner" so this would not apply. I'm sure that once they find nothing illegal they will try to shift to this.

This is a bunch of BS, and I am quite taken aback by it.

Gnbrotz, how did the constable obtain your name? If it was by any means other than you giving it directly to him, there has been a serious violation of your privacy and your rights. (translation - teach them a lesson via their pocketbooks, that might get some attention)

Good point!

I'm sure he could have gotten it off the polling staff or the recipient of one of the letters. Either way it's something for your lawyer to look into.


Maybe I'm alone in this, but once you get your LTCF back I want you to sue the pants off of them! Otherwise they can start doing this to everyone, and who knows how many people would or could fight back.

Where was the polling place? I noticed someone else mentioned carrying into a school. Not the wisest thing in my opinion...

I 100% agree with you, but, you know how it goes...

You have whatever help I can offer. Don't know much about revocations. I'm more than willing to donate to this.

Maybe contact PeteG about this? I'm not sure how far Franklin is from Pittsburgh though.
