Who’s bragging. I think you misunderstand.
The point is I had exactly the opposite problem as the person in the article. A felonious individual that I had to secure a restraining order against and I was told by a deputy to return his weapons. If he wasn’t a felon and the order had expired, yes, I would have done so. Still, when I asked the deputy to send someone to give him his weapons they refused. I wanted the deputy to hand the felon his weapons, not me. Even if the order had expired, I would want a law enforcement official to give him his weapons, not me, who had the order against him. It was way to volatile a situation and there was no way I wanted to be around this person under any circumstance.
I know individuals who have had restraining orders against them who also have never gotten their weapons back, but they were not felons, most victims of vindictive wives or girlfriends.
Some people just think orders must always be obeyed.
