The people on this thread who just immediately assume this guy was some nutcase are jumping to conclusions.

Is this your daddy or some other relative we're talking about? Why are you so sensitive about him?

BTW, if some dude picks up a gun and tells the firechief he has no right to eject him from his burning property, he IS a nutcase. I don't think anyone has a problem with his legally owned gun collection--at least I don't.

And BTW, I'm sure there is a law allowing rescue workers and law enforcement the right to remove you from your own home under certain conditions.

This is Wisconsin law, but I'm sure New Jersey has similar laws.  The penalty for a Class I felony is three years six months or a $10,000 fine or both.

 

941.12       
941.12 Interfering with fire fighting. 
941.12(1)       
(1) Whoever intentionally interferes with the proper functioning of a fire alarm system or the lawful efforts of fire fighters to extinguish a fire is guilty of a Class I felony.
 
941.12 - ANNOT.       
       NOTE:  Sub. (1) is shown as amended eff. 2-1-03 by 2001 Wis. Act 109. Prior to 2-1-03 it reads:
 
941.12 - ANNOT.       
       (1) Whoever intentionally interferes with the proper functioning of  a fire alarm system or the lawful efforts of fire fighters to extinguish a fire is guilty of a Class E felony.

 939.50(3)(i)       
(i)  For a Class I felony, a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 3 years and 6 months, or both.

There is - I found it - but since DC is the way he is, I'll just let him persist in his belief. That way, if he ever has a fire, he might stay in the burning shack out of principle.

Nope, and even if there was a LAW stating so, it would be Unconstitutional. (See Bill of Rights)

You know the orders to evacuate because of Hurricanes, etc? They can't enforce them. They just lie to you, to try to convince you that you have to leave.

But they can't make you. Nor should they ever be allowed to.
