I agree that a search of your home without a warrant showing
probable
cause is unfathomable. The sneaky thing about this selectman's
proposal
is that the authorization for the cops to search is tied to
your permit
to own firearms. In other words, you don't agree .. you can't
legally
own a firearm. To me, his idea is that in order to qualify for
a gun
permit you must give the police permission to enter and search
your home
ahead of time.
If there is a local law requiring guns to be locked up safely,
how is
that law to be enforced?
Here's an idea:
If you have a gun and it is supposed to be locked and a kid gets
his
hands on it and shoots himself or someone else, *you* go to prison.
Or, if someone steals a firearm and you don't report it right
away, you
go to prison.
Those are already distinct possibilities. You can be charged for
negligence and for not storing the firearms in the prescribed
manner by
law.
This will **** off the Tea Party types here, but I would not
object to
an inspection of my firearm storage. If a cop knocked on the door
right now and asked if I voluntarily agreed to him coming in and
checking how my guns are stored, I'd say, "Come on in".
I don't have any problem with such an inspection, either. There
are no
kids running around here, and all but one home defense weapon are
locked
up in a safe. We don't get many doorbell ringers around here,
other than
UPS/FEDEX and the Sunday church ladies, and I always peek on the
video
monitor before I open the door anyway. Anyone breaking in at night
meets Mr. 12 Gauge.
Paranoid, or you live in a high crime district.
I have video cams around the exterior. Nothing paranoid about that.
What's paranoid about greeting someone breaking in at night with a
12 gauge?
Breaking in at night? Where was that mentioned. You commented about
answering the front door.
It doesn't fit in with his Charles Bronson fantasy.
He told his local I threatened to break down his door... When that was
always his own foolish fantasy.... Like you say, he's got a Bronson
complex for sure...
You've made lots of threats here, and for years. No one is going to take
you up on them. You're a little twerp with cancer and a heart condition.
