California's heads up, part two

Posted by David Hardy · 24 July 2006 01:59 PM

A while back I noted a report that an LA County task force composed of deputies and ATFE agents was executing search warrants aimed at unregistered fiearms. I've since gotten a relayed email from someone who says they have relatives in LAPD, and a friend who is retired ATFE, and none have heard anything about this.

Just did a quick Google News search for California and Assault Weapon, and there's been no news of any relevant type. I'd assume that if this were going on, some politician or PR person somewhere would have boasted of it to the press.

Unless I can find some confirmation, I'd tend to see this as a false alarm. Looking over the original information, the hard info given is that (1) there is a gun task force, and (2) that it searched and arrested one person. The conclusion that it was part of a wider plan doesn't have any data given in support.

Bet me money it wasn't a druggie wanting to "borrow" some money for a fix. I would advise thinking long and hard before exposing your family to a homeless and/or ex felon to "help" him out by hiring his help around the house. Thats why they have professional organizations that run half way houses. My .02ยข worth!

Doh! That last was supposed to get filed under Self Defense with a front stuffer.

Seems like a lot of very pertinent-to-the-story information never gets published in the final version. .50 Cal.! Definitely did the job!
