I was reading about that the other day. This is even worse than "red flag" laws, because this wasn't ordered by a judge, it's literally just a police chief overstepping his authority and taking away a citizen's rights (a veteran, no less) without any due process whatsoever.
While he eventually got his job reinstated, last I heard he was still fighting to get his guns and license back. I hope he's suing that chief - and the city - for all they're worth (and then some).
