Legal Notes
An ad Popped up on my Computer.
It showed a Missouri Highway Patrolman questioning a man’s concealed carry license. He calls it in and is told that it is good and valid in all 50 states. The patrolman complains that his wife has been on a waiting list for months. The ad is FRAUDLULENT. There is no such law allowing carry in all 50 states and no waiting list.
Read the title of this note again. Read it slowly. Memorize it. Tattoo it on your eyelids if necessary. I don’t care what he has done. More importantly, the law does not care what he has done. He may be a drug dealing, child molesting, murdering, nazi war criminal who supports the Kansas football program. You cannot shoot a fleeing felon.
A client told me of approaching a police car with a question. The officer told him to step back from the car. The client was outraged by the demand because he had a right to STAND HIS GROUND. We have a stand your ground law in Missouri; but that is not what it says. The law is limited to cases of self-defense. It is not so much a law as the absence of a law.
