The police chief can't carry a gun (FL)

[Hazcat]

In Crestview, the police chief isn't allowed carry a gun for the time being because he got into a fuss with his estranged wife, the Northwest Florida Daily News reports.

He says she says he threatened her over the phone on Tuesday. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office got involved, told the police chief -- in writing -- he'd have to stop carrying a gun.

Recently, there was a case where this happend to a officer and the cheif did some BS and made it so the guy could still carry his firarms... guess what he ended up killing his wife with his duty weapon...

Not really information that they should have made public..... I am sure that there are a lot of criminals down there that would like to take a shot at him.

Wait so a police cheif being charged with a crime should not be made public?

Police Cheif is a political job, Now he knows how the "common folks" feel when thier rights are infringed. Maybe this will get him to rethink inefective gun laws.

I don't belive he was charged with a crime. She must have gotten a PFA on him. You can get a PFA on anybody at anytime on just your word.

One would think it would be hard to get one on a police cheif.

I guess not, they said it was a phone call.

He was not charged with a crime. My point was that the fact that he would be running around unarmed should not be made public. There are many large crime rings out there that would love to knock off their local police chief to help make their lives easier.

Are you kidding ! Look how much attention is drawn when a Cop gets killed. No "Large crime ring" is going to want that kind of heat, no matter how much they may say differantly. Criminal conspiracies, wheter for buglary, car theft, drug dealing etc. are essentialy BUSINESS propasitions, All be it, illegal business. Haveing every Local, State, and Federal LEO in the entire country wanting you dead is bad for business, not real good for your health either. It wasn't that long ago (last summer ?) when the FLORIDA Sheriff was asked why his officers shot a Cop killer 68 times, his answer was " Thats all the bullets they had" . If this Sheriff gets shot it will probably be his "estranged wife" who does it. But it will sure make him think twice the next time some genius wants support for an anti gun inititive !
