    10/4. Thanks. I doubt that I'd have much luck with the informal review so I may as well shoot for the moon and go to the HPRB.

    You'd be surprised. I got my permit after my informal review and after I had Knaub taken off of my application. He could not understand that I was self-employed and thus a business owner. I was assigned to Knaub's superior, John Casey, and he was very professional and we had a great meeting.

    I'd strongly recommend you speak with MR. McCauley to see if maybe he has any ideas that can help you.


    And, I'd look here too:http://www.mdshooters.com/showpost.php?p=4077526&postcount=307

    The nuts and bolts of it address your specific request, whether or not it's binding and can be used as precedent in front of the board, I don't know.

    Also, I'm not a lawyer, and... NOT giving legal advice. :thumbsup:

    That particular case overturned MSP for requesting any reports BECAUSE MSP failed to recognize the applicant was a member of an assumed rish profession and constitutes a "police officer" under Md Cod 2-101(c)(8) of the criminal procedure article.

    Not the lack of reports of threats. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

    I read it that they were requiring him to provide documentation of his threats rather than his spoken account. If he we going to be disapproved based on just NOT being some kind of "special police", why did the HPRB (and then courts) get into the details of any threats or lack thereof?

    Also looks like the HPRB declined to participate in the proceedings. Why is that, if they are paid through taxpayer funds, shouldn't they be required to show up and testify on the boards behalf?

    And follow up comment/question:

    Is there a list of "assumed risk" professions somewhere, or, is it a "we know it when we see it" case by case judgement call on the part of the MSP?

    MSP required him to submit documentation BECAUSE they did not consider him in an assumed risk profession (MSP did not consider him a police officer). The courts smacked MSP hard for not recognizing him as a police officer per state statute definition, and thus in an assumed risk position.

    Do you know if the permit was restricted and issued specifically for duty as an spo?

    Look at the list on page 5 of this document for a "list" that is not limited to:

    We, as the public will never know the actual restrictions, but if it the permit was issued to him as a police officer (As defined by 2-101 of the criminal procedure article), then his restrictions would be: Off Duty hours while maintaining employment as a police officer with any recognized law enforcement agency. (MD ONLY) (Not VALID where firearms are prohibited.) per MSP SOP 29-15-007.
