Yet officer is allowed to carry while on-duty, granting him special concession he is not afforded as a private citizen
A Pennsylvania court has declared that a state trooper who was previously hospitalized for depression should be banned from possessing firearms while off-duty, but should still be allowed to carry a gun while on-duty, granting him special concession while serving the state which he is not afforded as a private citizen.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court ruled that State Trooper Michael L. Keyes’ involuntary mental health treatment in 2006 bars him from possessing any firearms privately, but he should still be allowed to carry a gun while on official police business, according to Penn Live.
“The dangers inherent in the possession of firearms by the mentally ill are manifest,” Jude Fort Elliott declared. “A present clean bill of health is no guarantee that a relapse is not possible.”

ReplyDeleteThen he shouldn't be a Trooper. Bye
ReplyDeleteHe should be governor of Maryland, or better yet, the president, just another idiot in government!
ReplyDelete3:28, there would be few officers left on the Md. State Police force if they did that here.
ReplyDeleteMANY officers are under Doctors care for mental disorders and should not be allowed to carry a weapon.
They suffer from clinical paranoid schizophrenia, depression and aggressive personality disorders to name a few. Ask any local psychologist or psychiatrist that has a contract with MSP. This problem is of epidemic proportions among officers. That is a fact.
Soooo, a relapse is not possible while he's on duty???????????
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't want to get pulled over by him!
Next time I get pulled over, I'll drive to the Sheriff's office!
Liberals!! This judge is an idiot and a communist.

ReplyDeleteYES...by all means... lets fire anyone in a place of authority that is on a prescribed medication...ESPECIALLY if they are taking the medication to be a better person. Wait... we just lost 99 percent of our workforce. Lets see you cast the first stone!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of all the great minds that have invented things in this country and continue to add to society while on medication it makes me ill that pea brains sit around in judgement on their fat a$$ and collect welfare.
