Man reports his pistol stolen, so police confiscate all his weapons and permits.

Still, if the article in the OP is true, I see it as a dangerous escalation against gun owners in states that are rapidly becoming totalitarian while little to nothing is being done about it. People who are victims of a crime are having their property stolen under the farce of law.

It's just another face of seizure laws, which have been around since at least the 90's. Nobody stood up to them then ("it's a tool to punish drug dealers") so there's no incentive to limit them now.

Capt. Richard Conklin told The Register the state believes storing a firearm in a car – even a locked car – is not “a prudent thing to do.”

“A car is like a glass box. If you take out any of the windows, it is no longer locked,”
Conklin said.

So wtf does he expect us to do when we have to go in a posted location? That was a pretty stupid statement.

Captain (bag of) Richard Conklin's personal opinion is legally like everyone else's personal opinion.

Hey dick: A house is like a box in that if you take out a window, it's no longer locked.

Saying that they failed to meet some standard for securing their gun may sound reasonable on the surface but it doesn't alter the fact that they were crime victims,

Bingo.

Apparently the standard is set by some dick who is a police captain.

You guys are being baited into having these convos by a self admitted convicted felon, who thinks he should still be able to own firearms.

He dumps a sensationalized article and title then sits back and watches the responses.

I pray the day never comes that you find yourself in my situation, or anyone you love or care about for that matter. For the record...I'm not trying to bait anyone. Your comment is part of "the problem". You assume someone being a convicted felon has no credibility, no rights, nothing noteworthy to share in todays society...I say hogwash! You feel as if you have more rights, or your opinion holds more weight than anyone elses. I call b.s. on that too. I thank God almighty you're not in charge of leading the free world. I have overcome enough struggles in my life, than to sit back and have people tear me down. YOU, are what creates the revolving door of recidivism, and I'll lay that blame at your feet without remorse. You, and countless others have a holier than thou mentality, and it stinks. People like you you are domestic enemies to freedom.

You’re certainly within your rights to have your opinion about me, just as I am about you.


Do you want the freedom to exercise your rights again? Then go and fight for it. If you want it bad enough, the save up the $$, or maybe you’re flush with cash, and go pay an attorney to argue on your behalf.
I’ve personally watched this play out with an immediate family member. He was a convicted felon for a very low level crime, but felon nonetheless. He saved, scrimped and paid to be able to own a firearm again.
You should do the same thing if you want it that bad.


You might be doing that but based on your posts here, you like to complain and watch others debate it for you.


Either way, we’re all responsible for our actions.

I see you’re in Cabarrus county; so am I. Shoot me a message and let’s have lunch. That’s a serious offer.

Sounds good to me.
 
Folks, all I'm trying to do is right some wrongs in my life, and make friends in the mean time. I see any infringement on the 2A as a wrong. We can debate all day long, whether it was right for LEO to prohibit me from owning firearms, yet any debate about prohibiting free men, will fall on deaf ears. I'm here because I'm very aware of our current situation as a free people. I'm here for you, and myself included. I'm here because the firearms community are very aware of any infringements of our civil liberties. There's some highly intelligent men here. I'm here to gain a perspective of what every member in this forum has about todays current events. I'm here to learn, to teach, and open some eyes as well. There's so much talk about civil war, cold civil war, and civil unrest, it is very troubling to me.

I think you just made a real proverbial "in a nutshell" description of one of the biggest problems in this country: justice, and what should be a fundamental matter of right and wrong isn't but is instead a matter of being for sale and cost in terms of dollars.

That was the first thought through my head today as I was watching a webcast at work for our annual benefits enrollment period. They are upping the per-situation visits with a counselor from 5 to 8. The example given was if you had a coworker that stressed you out, you now had 8 potential visits to talk to somebody about it. And then if you lost a pet, and your kid was struggling with the loss, they had 8 potential visits as well. That would continue for every distinct “issue” in your family for anybody covered under the policy.

Ain’t. No. Way. I’m ever calling to schedule a session.
