Thread: Law-abiding gun Owner Killed During Red Flag Confiscation Raid

    Exclamation Law-abiding gun Owner Killed During Red Flag Confiscation Raid

    Gary Willis, a resident of Ferndale, Maryland, was awakened Monday morning at 5:17 a.m. when two officers from Anne Arundel County knocked on his door. A law-abiding gun owner, Willis answered the door “with a gun in his hand,” according to a police department spokesman. They were there to serve him with an “extreme risk protective order” and remove his legally owned firearms.

    According to the spokesman, Willis put his firearm down to read the ERPO but then, apparently recognizing that it wasn’t a legal search warrant issued by a judge in accordance with protections guaranteed to him by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but instead was issued by a local judge under Maryland’s newly minted “red flag” law, he retrieved his firearm.

    The spokesman said that Willis “became irate.” In the melee that followed, one of the firearms carried either by one of the officers or by Willis went off. One of the officers then pulled his own sidearm and shot Willis dead.

    Family members told Capital Gazette reporters that a distant relative had requested the ERPO the day before, due to an “incident” that occurred at his residence. The details of the “incident” remain unclear at this writing, but the backpedaling by the police chief began almost immediately.
    Said Anne Arundel County police chief Timothy Altomare:
    If you look at this morning’s outcome, it’s tough for us to say, “Well, what did we prevent?” Because we don’t know what we prevented or could’ve prevented.
    What would have happened if we didn’t go there at 5 am?
    Probably nothing. Because during his many years as a resident at his home in Ferndale nothing untoward happened. His niece, Michele Willis, said “I’m just dumfounded right now. My uncle wouldn’t hurt anybody.”

    Chief Altomare announced that since the law became effective on October 1, there have been 19 ERPOs issued in his county, his officers have served nine of them and have seized “around 33 guns” in the process. So successful have the unconstitutional raids been in Anne Arundel County that the department is building a new storage facility specifically to accommodate all the firearms they are expected to confiscate under the new law.

    Would it be any different if he was a "illegal" gun owner? Some people besides the gun owners need to start dying because of this .

    No difference. A person does not even need a gun to be executed by team blue.

    This is so stupid, gov knows damned well that the more you restrict something, the more power it is going to give them to use force against you.

    If you're dating someone, or are married, they can apply to have your guns taken away, this is just downright ridiculous.... this is letting emotional issues determine law.

    Where are the politicians during all this?

    What happens if I don’t comply with an Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO)?

    "Then we will shoot you."

    Who can ask the court for an Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO)?

    The “petitioner” is the person asking the court for an ERPO. The “respondent” is the person against whom the extreme risk protective order is filed.

    The law is very specific about who can ask the court for an ERPO. The following people can request the court to issue an ERPO.

    Spouse
    Cohabitant
    Relative by blood, marriage, or adoption
    Someone with a child or children in common
    Currently dating or an intimate partner
    Current or former legal guardian
    Law enforcement officer
    Certain medical professionals who have examined the respondent

    Pretty much anybody.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Looks like back in April the Democrats tried this in MN. The Republicans prevented it.

    The more I look at this, the more I see that this is the direction that gun control adherents are going to take to the Fed.gov level. On the surface it's only sensible, right? If someone is posing a risk to themselves or others, then just take their guns away until it can all be sorted out.
    This is going to take "SWATTING" to a far more dangerous level.

    The cops pose a risk to themselves and others. Better they should start by taking away the guns the cops have.

    In Ferndale, Maryland, a 60-year-old man was shot to death by police serving a “red flag order” at 5:17 a.m. It turned out that the complainant was a non-immediate relative seeking to punish the gun owner after an argument they had.
