Weapon confiscated at Gary steel plant

They are more than just a security firm they are actual armed LEOs of this maretime homeland security area and have full acess to all information.

Since when did your license plate data information include the LTCH? Maybe I should incorporate so that that would not be the case....

I think he said he's from MI, which if I'm not mistaken may show up when you run a MI resident license??
not forsure but seems like what I heard, I know MI MAKES you take gun safety classes for like 2 full days and blah blah blah. It's not as simple as it is on our side of the line. One of my Instructors at school is from MI and was telling me about it and he is not the sort to give BS info "about the classes" just seems like I read the first part somehwere on here.

I wonder what would have happened if he had either refused to allow the search or tried to leave the premises as some have suggested. MY guess would have been a painful road rash on his face along with a gun or three pointed at his skull and a trip to the county pokey. Like I said these guys do NOT have a sense of humor.

And yes you are lucky you work for an outside firm because if you had worked for them you would have been fired on the spot. As for your weapon, my guess is it would have been melted down.

From what they did I can't imagine why anyone would want to continue working there. Be glad your most likely done there and have an attorney call to get your firearm back.

What am I missing here? Who wants to work in Gary unarmed? Even if you do keep your job you will no longer be able to carry to and from work through Gary as they will watch and do random searches on your vehicle possibly damaging your belongings etc.

The steel millsas well as NIPSCO's power plant in Gary while they are part of the City of Gary (eg. on land that the City of Gary encompasses) they pertty much are away from eveyrthing else. You drive on roads that go in/out of the mills and don't have much else. It's been a long time (15+ years) since I have been to that area but not much else has changed. The same with Inland Steel (yes it's in East Chicago) but you get to it by highway and out again via higway without ever seeing the city per say.

Well this information changes everything.

 

[henktermaat]

Well, sure, name and number handy.

But I don't have someone I'd call "my lawyer"

That's pretty much what I was getting at. It almost sounds like we've all got them on retainer just waiting for that "rainy day"

This is something I have been thinking about a lot as well. Let's discuss this further... here on topic: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...iendly_lawyer_recommendations.html#post424064

It's Monday, have u called yet? What happened?

 

[AndersonIN]

Why didn't you mention the $4000 that you keep in the box next to your pistol that they stole also???

If you get my drift!!!!

 

[Doghead]

I called and they said come and get my gun. They also said I was lifetime banned from the company nation wide.

 

[edsinger]

F'em...feed em cheese

 

[Soundslikejosh]

Well I doubt this helps you much since your job is undoubtedly affected, but good riddance to them!

Best of luck to you. You might have done things a little better but you did the right thing by carrying so dont let "the man" get you down. Keep doing what you do and next time tell them to come back with a warrant.

Take care!

I think you need to watch the video dont talk to the cops on youtube. By consenting to a search you waived some of your rights. Whether they are LEO or not you don't have to consent to a search. You can verbally say no but shouldn't get physical with them. Just watch the video lol. It is pretty good advice I think what say ye? Other than that this is a bunch of bs

 

[wtfd661]

Glad you got your gun back, but sorry if you lost your job. Good luck to you.

That sucks. Another door will probably open up for you

Union jobs pay big bucks for little work. Not to mention with the recession, jobs are getting harder to come by... even for union.

I work in chicago on some days... You want to make money, you go where the work is... even if it's in gar/sickago or wherever.

 

[public servant]

If you sign a consent to search form as a condition of employment and sign an understanding of policy form that states firearms are not permitted on company property...there's really not much you could have done about it. We really should read those kinds of things and understand them before we sign them.

 

[XDs4me]

No. A simple "do you have a warrant?" will suffice. Real cop or not, he will need a warrant (assuming you don't consent to it).

It use to be that you signed an agreement when you hired in. Within that agreement it stated that you agree to personal and vehical searches. As an outside vendor when I had to go in I had to sign a form which also granted them that right.

 

[00BlasterResto]

ah well, F'em, he got his gun and that seemed to be his main worry. good writtens to them uptight ............................ =)
