Former Police Chief Stacey wants gun charge dismissed

First things first:
--- Quote ---He is a citizen now, not a police chief. He should be treated as one, and not one ounce differently.

I was unaware that police chiefs were not citizens, and should be treated differently than a citizen.
Substitute "Subject" for citizen and "Lord" for police chief, and it would make sense in Medieval England .....
He was a citizen when he was the Chief of Police of Bellevue, Nebraska, too ..... if anything, he should be held to a higher standard of conduct than someone without Police Powers: Not only should he have known better, expecting to get away with it simply because of the position he holds is explicit evidence of an "Only Ones" mentality. I also wonder how many folks he had locked up on this same charge........
I would like to remind all of you that wish to get rid of the handgun firearm purchase permit that your buddy Brad Ashford was going to do that for you, in exchange for a permanent unelected panel to determine what guns were "too dangerous for civilian ownership" ..... that was just a couple of years ago now .........
I like the idea of the Purchase Permit being voluntary ..... but would like to see it as picture ID, instead of and easily forged scrap of paper.......

I'm ok with that since that would not infringe on the 2nd Amendment...it being voluntary.

This really is a best case scenario. Now lets just hope he prevails in court and the purchase permit statute is ultimately struck down by the Nebraska Supreme Court. Hopefully Heineman's Supreme Court appointments will pay off in this regard.
I heard this case will go before the federal judge in Douglas County District Court as Sarpy Judges were determined to have too many ties with Stacey. I guess it could go either way.

Say it does get struck down, then doesn't that put us in the pickle of the Brady Bill mandatory wait period? Which would suck more?
Husker_Fan:
I don't know that there is a federal waiting period anymore. I could be wrong though. I've never purchased a handgun without the certificate or my CHP.
AAllen:
Once the NICS system got up and running they dropped the federal wait period, some states still have a "Cooling Off" period on a transfer but there is nothing in Nebraska law about that.
