Robert Joseph Hallick, 51, was arrested in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Feb. 11 and is charged with perjury, forgery and identity theft, WTVC reported. He was booked into Hamilton County Jail.
Hallick allegedly first used his own name to apply for a Tennessee Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit in November 2020 but was denied. His rejection letter from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Handgun Unit cited an "adjudicated or committed mental defective and active warrant in the state of Michigan," according to the affidavit obtained by the news station.
Hallick then applied for the permit a second time, mailing in a form on Jan. 21 using the name "President Barack H. Obama" and forging the signature for the ex-commander in chief. He also included a check for the $50 fee and another letter, "bearing the United States of America seal with United States Department of State letterhead," The Chattanoogan also reported, citing the affidavit.
It’s against state law to forge a person’s name on a gun permit application.
According to a report by the site Bearing Arms, Hallick has repeatedly claimed to be Barack Obama on social media posts dating as early as 2019. Information about whether or not Hallick has legal representation was not immediately available.
Fox News reached out to both the Chattanooga Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office seeking additional information.
Kind of funny, but not smart.
Monsieur Dumas, I presume?
I’m thinking that his lawyer should be looking for an insanity defense.
I think the state’s claim of a mental defect is going to hold up.
I think he just proved he is mentally defective.
Cue Sean Connery’s Scottish burr from “The Untouchables”:
“Who would claim to be THAT who was not, eh?”
I’d sooner impersonate Charles Manson.
That IS funny.
That was my reaction. Adjudication confirmed!
Well, at least it wasn’t Florida Man.......................
Of all the people to impersonate! Obama has secret service protection.
What was he thinking?
He has a lot more issues than the charges brought against him.....
Now that’s just funny!
That said:
As if Baraq Obama could pass a background check.
