GCO Sues over “Man with a Gun” Incident

GCO filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia against the Sheriff of Richmond County and a Richmond County deputy who detained a GCO member and seized his legally-carried pistol. After checking it to see whether it was stolen, the deputy confiscated the firearm until “proof of purchase” could be provided, and the Sheriff’s Department then refused to return it. The deputy insisted that it is against the law to carry a pistol openly.
This sort of police misconduct is fortunately rare, but it is becoming more common as more Georgians begin carrying firearms.

Habeas Armas!! Habeas Armas!!

Truly disgusting in a sister Southern state. Hope the purveyors of the law learn what it means to enforce and not MAKE the law with this suit.

Sheriff Ronnie Strength should be fired immediately. He has intentionally failed to uphold his oath of office.

Good luck devo1123.

Sherrifs are elected and therefore cannot be fired. Maybe recalled or impeached, but never fired.
