As I wrote in my reply #120 to you, I am not here to discuss the legal status of this man's firearms. I am arguing that the Fire Chief has the authority to order this man from his home, and that by doing so, he did not violate this man's property rights.

From where does that authority come from? It sure as hell isn't listed in any of the State Constutions I've read.

Is it a good idea to cooperate with them when they are trying to help you? Undoubtably. Is it a bad idea to point guns at people, authority figure or not? You bet.

However, it has not been established that they have the legal power to order you from your home. Neither has it been established, except from the liberal press account, that this guy was in fact intending to aim the gun he was picking up at the firefighter.

The jumping to conclusions on this thread have been staggering. It has become normal around here that any actions taken by people trying to protect their individual Rights, are automatically labeled as "extremists", "kooks", ect... Bots like Poo-bear just can't seem to admit that government agents make mistakes and are sometimes given more power than their legal mandate by legislators more intent on re-election than Constitutionality.

All this on a forum called "Free Republic".

Who'da thunk it.

I would imagine he forgot to say please, in the heat (no pun intended) of the moment. I wonder if that's cause for the homeowner to pick up a gun?
