I realize that this is an open carry forum, but I could really use some help, and advice concerning an unconstitutional and highly unethical denial of a CCW Permit. I am a 100% service connected Disabled American Veteran and I am unable to defend myself as well as I once could. To get to the point, I am being denied a renewal of a CCW permit based entirely on my service connected disabilities. Ido not now, nor at any other time in my life everhad a criminal record. This Civil Deputy is using the onlything that she could to deny me, since I don't have a criminal record.As I said before I was denied a renewal permit, I actually possessed a CCW permit from Feb. 1998 until feb. 2002. My renewal was denied but my permit was never revoked. My permit was issued by a different deputy than the one that denied my renewal, that is the major contributing factor. There is more to this but I would like to get a little feedback if possible before continuing.
Ok. Let me get to the real irony of this situation. I am 55 years old. I have been disabled for 23 of those 55 years. My disabilities do not prevent me from being highly proficient with a handgun. My disabilities are musculoskeletal and physiological. There are no mental illness issues at hand.According to N.C. General Statutes-Article 54B, Chapter 14-415.12-- Criteria to qualify for the issuance of a permit, paragraph (a), I meet all of the criteriafor the issuance of a permit and I do not fall under any of the disqualifying critria described in paragraph (b) of Chapter 14-415.12.
On the application for a CCW permit, question #2 asks: Are you ineligible to own ,possess,or receive a firearm under the provisions of state or federal law. Now this is why I said the difference between the deputy that issued my permit in 1998 and the deputy that denied my permit on Feb. 16, 2007is a major contributing factor. I knew 3 months in advance that this new deputy was giving people a hard time that were applying for a permit over just minor, trivial issues andnot being able to prove that you were qualified to own a firearm was one of her excuses, but a legitimate one in fact. So I applied for and received a pistol purchase permit datedOctober 16, 2006 and it isvalid untilOctober 16, 2011. And as I had been told, I did in fact have to prove that I was qualified to own a firearm. When I showed her the valid pistol purshase permit approved and signedby her boss, the county Sheriff, I could almost see the steam rolling off of her face. After I finished the application process and was preparing to leave, I told her thank you and to have a good day, and not in a sarcastic manner either. But the look she gave me went right through me and she would'nt even speak to me. And she treated me like this just because I was prepared for whatever might come up. I knew right then that she was going to deny the renewal again, and 4 months to the day of the date on my approved pistol purchase permit, she denied me again.
I possess a DOD issued ID that allows me access to any unrestricted U.S. Military installation in the world for the rest of my life. If the United States Government trusts me with national security I think I can be trusted to possess another stinking CCW permit. And what really gets my goat is the only thing that I did wrong was being severly injured while serving my country. There is an appeal process but you need to have an attorney to do it. I can not even get an attorney in this town to even return my calls, much less explain my situation and why I might need their services.
So that is it. How can I get an attorney to present my case; and that is all that would be required since I have done all the research and built the case to exercise my 14th Amendent Right to equal protection under the law? Thank you.
