LTCF suspension story
So I got this story from someone who know's someone....
This person was pulled over for speeding and had his firearm sitting on his dash. His firearm was taken by the police and his LTCF suspended for 3 months.
These are all the details I have. FWIW, knowing the source, I don't believe ANY of this story (other than he's crazy enough to be driving around with a gun on his dash!)
But for arguments sake, assuming the story is all true, what would be the basis for taking the firearm? And a 3 month LTCF suspension? I've never heard of someone having their LTCF suspended. Revoked yes but not suspended.
Have you ever heard of anything like this (a 3 month suspension)?
Edit:
Assuming the "gun on the dash" was a lie and he actually did something wrong/illegal, is a 3 month suspension even a possibility?Last edited by tlgpa; May 8th, 2012 at 03:26 PM.

Re: LTCF suspension story
I don't know if the story is true but I think it's perfectly legal to have your firearm on the dash. Not that it's a good idea though.

Re: LTCF suspension story
Agreed, while it is not a good idea I am yet to see anything saying that it is illegal.
I am curious about the 3 month suspension aspect of the story. Is that even possible? I guess it would be my understanding that a LTCF is like firearm ownership, you are either eligible or not."Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility."

Re: LTCF suspension story
There is no legal mechanism for "suspension", only revocation, but it's not unheard of to hear of LTCF confiscations absent the legally required process - most often on an indefinite basis, and sometimes with a refusal to allow reapplication (also a violation of law).

Re: LTCF suspension story
Actually, there is no legal process for it at all. It's just that resisting will do little good, and you can't use force in an attempt to retain it.
That's why I carry a copy, and keep the original in a safe place. There has been sound advice on why one should carry the original and keep a copy safe, but I'm comfortable doing it my way.
