I take it the riverside sheriff would not think "See Amendment 2 united states constitution" or "see the riots in fegeson or Baltimore" would be considered a good reason to him?
The Riverside sheriff was very anti-2nd amendment,,,
Little nuisances like constitutionality just got in the way of his job,,,
So much so that he "directed" his deputies to "take possession of" encountered firearms.
This isn't here-say I'm spouting,,,
My wife was a dispatcher for UC Riverside police dept.
She used to bring me the bulletins they received,,,
City of Riverside, UC Riverside, and Riverside County Sheriff all overlapped jurisdiction.
We lived just outside the city limits on 5 rented acres,,,
One night we heard the horses making noise,,,
So I grabbed my flashlight and 1911.
My wife called 911 and informed them that I was out there armed,,,
By the time two deputies arrived the burglars had fled,,,
The deputies were still outside my locked gate,,,
I told them the bad guys had left.
One said, "We'll have whatever handgun you are carrying."
My reply was a simple "no."
So they climbed over my gate and chased me as I ran to my house,,,
I got inside and they tried to push their way inside,,,
I tossed my pistol on the couch across the room.
They still tried to push their way in,,,
But my wife was behind me with her police ID out,,,
Screaming out that she was a dispatcher and had her watch commander on the line.
That was the last straw for me,,,
Less than a year later I was on my way back home to Oklahoma.
I've never looked back.
