All this was done warrant-less? I'd hate to see a cop come in through my door without being invited or w/o a warrant after I'm asleep. Matters would not end so peaceably. Remember, NEVER INVITE A COP INTO YOUR HOME. It implicitly gives him the right to search your domicile. Any issues can be discussed outside, on your property. The police captain, the mayor, and the entire city council need to tossed out and those citizens violated should sue on Constitutional grounds. It's a simple violation of the search and seizure amendment, for starters. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!! More to come if Kerry/Edwards get elected.
tru peace...D
Damn strait!
Inviting a LEO into your home gives implicit consent to search?
That's the part that baffles me. I can imagine some cop knocking on my door and saying, "Excuse me ma'am, I need you to go stand in the street while I go through everything in your house and take what I want." If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
ping!
The alleged police reaction kinda makes you wonder about the real motive behind the shooting of the LEO that kicked this off. Maybe somebody had had enough.
Wonder if the Oshkosh Police know their American History?
"Inviting a LEO into your home gives implicit consent to search?"
Yes... Check out this site. It's very informative. It may keep you out of any trouble you don't deserve and some that you might based upon federal or state codified unconstitutionalities.

Thanks,ebiskit. :)
This crap needs to stop and someone needs to go to jail (Police Chief), or there needs to be armed inssurrection to stop it.
This is intolerable.
Waiting for the resident goons to chime in...

Update on principles at work.
The new details are even worse than the first story represented them to be.
"Wonder how they got the gun safes open so quickly.... "
Yes, indeed, it looks like the LEO's have skills to penetrate gun safes with ease.
Yes, indeed, it looks like gun safes will have to be hidden in the floor or the wall, or elsewhere. Layers of security: lock after lock, alarm after alarm. Have a couple throw-aways (purchased from FFL dealer) easy to find, but the main collection stowed such that it cannot be found, and, if discovered, cannot be so easily breached.
Off-site storage for a portion of the collection has become a must, it seems.
Security is no longer just about kids and burglars.
And the lack of outrage is disheartening.
Exactly, Nothingnew!
This is close to where I live, and it just scares the bejeezus out of my husband and I. The REALLY scary part, is all the sheeple that just don't care, or will wait until it is too late, and then wonder what happened????
MISSION STATEMENT
The full time mission of the Oshkosh Police Department is to safeguard the lives, property and rights of all persons within the City of Oshkosh in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner.
