Evansville Sued for Violating Gun Owner's Rights

[Stschil]

Frost is such a trouble maker.

And it is my Privilege to know him!

Big props to Guy and Ben. Please keep us up to date on hearing times. This is one event I would very much like to attend and lend moral support.

Is this the first suit for violating this law?

Is this the first suit for violating this law?

No. My wife and another member of this forum have filed suit in the city of Hammond (with Guy) several weeks ago.

If it was in two mondays I do have a summons lol

 

[mrortega]

Would it be a jury trial or just a bench?

 

[snowrs]

My bet is it will be a bench trial

"When Mr. Magenheimer attempted to explain to the officers that their actions were illegal, the officers forcibly removed him from the property."

Yes, they don't really respond to that too well. I am surprised he didn't have some sort of accident on the way out.

Calling Lonnie. Calling Lonnie. Car 54, where are you?

He is busy educating other officers on peoples rights.

The EPD has a pretty good reputation. I don't think we have real thugs on the force. I'm NOT surprised that the "perp" (sorry about that, Mr. Frost) didn't accidently fall down and get his arm broken, face scratched or noggin smacked.

Agreed.

What pictures? Are you saying you got your picture taken when you applied for your LTCH? I live right next door(Warrick Co) and I didn't.


Yes. When I applied, I was told that they were/have a photo data base that they keep on all applicants. I was not given an option but was made to believe that this is " procedure " . I question this and wonder the true reasoning since I have already provided all information to the state. Have been told by license branch that they can see that I have a license to carry, when I was stopped by ISP they asked if I was carrying, all information is provided when they " run " your drivers license.

If this happened with the Evansville PD didn't they get smacked down pretty good and agreed to stop doing the pictures? I can't remember if Jim Tomes or somebody else nailed them.

We have had several Officers on here confirm many times that LTCH info is NOT on the DL database. If they knew you had one, they either looked it up in a separate system, or perhaps you have a pro gun bumper sticker?

As for the picture? Not legally required.. They lied to you.

Just read a artical in the Evansville Courier Press about the guy at the zoo. They are trying to make him sound like a fool, even had a lawyer from Indy say that he should have concealed his gun when asked. Sounds like some liberal BS to me!

I am very surprised at the comments of Bryan Ciyou. One would think the author of an Indiana firearms reference manual would understand our new preemption statute and an Indiana citizen's right to OC.

It is fundamentally wrong to say "the police were correct to request the man to hide the gun from public view." On city property, it was ILLEGAL for police to order my client to conceal his firearm.

By the way, there is a poll attached to the article. INGOers should express their opinion.
