Firearms Storage bill coming
bullit:
OPDs chief is changing the reimbursement rule to pay OPD cops back for buying a gun safe. Question 1....where does the money come to pay for that bennie? The taxpayer? Question 2....how do they ensure that said Cops use the safe? OWH reports this cop had one, but the Glock was in the closet. Question 3....is Ashford's proposed legislation going to apply to LEOs?

1- As I understand it Officers receive a uniform allowance that can also be used to buy equipment. Gun safes have been added to the list of approved purchases. As to were the money comes from its part of the Depts budget and of course is funded by taxes.
2- They cant. OPD officers purchase their own weapons and are under no more obligation than you or I to secure it.
3- I guess you would have to ask Ashford about that one.

After rereading the article, it seems Assford's bill would not have even applied in this case as the younger Butler "stole" the firearm from the elder.
--- Quote ---Owners would not be charged if they had locked up their weapons or used a trigger lock on their guns. They also would avoid prosecution if their gun had been stolen, or if an injury occurred while hunting or sport shooting.

A little reminder of past splendid ideas from the cranium of Brad Assford. http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?topic=64.0
I have trouble finding the H key sometimes...

Let's just adopt D.C. storage rules. I think Ashford would be happy. Seriously, taking advantage of the tragedy in Omaha isn't right.
