Guns of Contention: If Philly says no, Florida can say yes | Philadelphia Daily News | 08/31/2010
These cases appear to be about PA residents obtaining Out-of-State Permits.
Perhaps if Mayor Nutter (great name for this Nut bag), didn't restrict the right to the point of denial for everyone but his cronies, then this would not be an issue. Fact, is, this guy is Bloomberg's puppy and the only way you're going to get a permit in Philadelphia is to know someone.
The 'Special Advisor to the Commissioner' exclaims something on the order that the officers' safety is more important than violating people's rights.
This moron apparently believes that safety and infringing upon rights must be mutually exclusive. If there is no excuse for ignorance of the law for the citizenry, why is it tolerated amongst civil servants?
In one case a guy going to his job as a security guard was held in custody for 18 hours! The officers att the scene would not honor any of his permits and had him standing outside for several hours in the winter. They also denied him his diabetes medication. He ended up in the hospital and then was charged and held on $15k bail. A month later they District Attorney dropped the case.
I hope this guy sues the **** out of them, but I doubt any heads will roll since Mayor Nutter is tacitly in support of these actions.
