You stated that you're not going to confirm the ID/Name...Yes his claim was real!!! There are tons of newspaper articles about him and hundreds of search results on Judiciary Case Search of cases he was involved in. He was on the "do not call list" of cops deemed untrustworthy in the courtroom, but apparently that list is no longer used. I spoke with the owner as well as the manager from another location and we are going to apply for our CCW with the help of a full-time personal protection expert who does the training as well as helps fill out the application.
yet by posting the above line... you pretty much have... because... in the linked article you responded to...
For years, Xxxxxx had been on a list of officers deemed untrustworthy by prosecutors, known as the "do not call" list, under the administration of former Baltimore State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy. The list was a tool for prosecutors to prevent police from working on cases in which their integrity might be challenged on the stand.
No I am not picking on you. Just pointing out a thing or two to help hopefully...
Montgomery County police refuse to write a report because apparently making a verbal threat is not a crime in Maryland. I asked them if that applied to an officer of the law threatening to use his power in that capacity to commit a crime. They said it didn't matter and actually said to me, "what's the difference if an officer threatens you or a post man?". I was shocked and replied, "Officer, let me ask you a question...would you feel the same way if a Navy Seal threatened you or a petite cocktail waitress?" They responded it didn't matter. I seriously feel like I am living in a horror movie where the police are protecting their own and I am left helpless. Thanks to you guys here, I now know it is legal to carry at work. While this isn't as ideal as carrying full-time CCW, it's better than nothing as I apply for my CCW. I'm going to get a Mossberg shotgun tomorrow to keep under my desk. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. In addition, I will be carrying one of my 1911s or my Glock 26.
FYI... No... Police do not try to protect those who've dishonored the badge and embarrassed the profession by engaging in illegal and immoral acts or other questionable practices. So don't think the MoCo Officers are attempting to "protect one of their own".
AND... Your last paragraph above is a bit concerning...
• Insure that NOBODY but you can access that Mossberg. You don't want to be responsible for injury to anyone because the shotgun got into the wrong hands.
• When you say... "I'll be carrying..." I do hope you're not going to carry off property without a CCW Permit. (Just clarifying the point)
At any rate... be safe. Stay in company and travel with friends as much as possible until this all gets sorted out for you. And prayers up for you that nothing happens at all to harm you.
