So your policy stands in direct violation of the law?

The law says that an officer may disarm a CHL holder if that officer reasonably believes it is necessary for safety, that puts the onus on the officer, not department policy.

Sounds like it's time for an Attorney General decision to stop the rampant abuse of the law by departments using "policy" instead of the reasonable belief of the officer on the scene.

It's not real safe IMO to be loading and unloading a gun on a city street (if that's where he works).

That really sounds like disrespect for people with a CHL to me.

More like intimidation and bullying to me.

I personally do not believe every CHL holder needs to be disarmed. In addition I would be curious to read their policy if it existed.

$1 to a donut this is his personal policy. If this was his department's policy, there would be no problem sharing the PD's name / location so CHLers would know, and avoid, such an area. I'm guessing we won't ever hear which PD it is...

Unless the mods want to pull his / her IP address and do a reverse lookup on it. :cool:

If he is a leo he may fall under the social media policies. Many agencies now have social media policies that actually prohibit one from saying where they work while visiting social websites online. With that you have to remain anonymous. But then if that is a real photo on the avatar in uniform showing a company car I would guess they don't have that policy.

The social media policy is a smart move on the part of PDs, especially if they are advising their officers to participate in illegal activities such as disarming a CHL even when there is no perceived threat.

I think TS has been unmasked - but, he had us going for awhile...

My guess: he'll reappear under another name.

Maybe then, I won't be as gullible...

That's probably a accurate thought.

Or.......he could be in the Hospital recovering from disarming a CHL and shooting himself in the leg while trying to run the numbers.
