BPR: Iraq War veteran Leonard Cottrell Jr. knows his Constitutional rights, so he’s not going to let anyone confiscate his guns without a proper warrant and due process.
Cottrell, a disabled Army veteran who served three tours during “Operation Iraqi Freedom,” was working at a New Jersey Wawa store on June 14 when his wife called him to say that police officers were at their home demanding to seize his guns. The cops did not have a search warrant.
The two police officers said they were investigating a comment that Cottrell’s 13-year-old son had made about his middle school’s security.
Cottrell’s wife allowed the cops to search their son’s room even though they didn’t have a search warrant. The officers found no guns in the bedroom of Cottrell’s son, but they did find a shotgun and a pistol in the Cottrells’ home that Leonard has permits to own.
When the police tried to confiscate his guns, Cottrell put his foot down. MORE
Great job! He let them in as a courtesy, they wanted to return the favor by confIscating his weapons.
Shall. Not. Be. Infringed.

Come back with a warrant.
So, if the cops had shot him, would you be giving him the same treatment you gave the barber in Chicago murdered by the street gang in blue?
The life of a citizen is more important than the life of a cop.
Bad hair day?
@Chris Mallory ~ if he was doing the same stupid shit ‘the barber’ was doing …. yeah
@RF ~ lmao … great pun!
I don’t think I would allow them in without a warrant. You know you give them an inch and they take a yard. But then I wasn’t there. I think they have over stepped the US Constitution and will continue to do so at every chance.
Once you voluntarily let them in, it is no longer an illegal search and seizure. Too bad, it would have been a great civil rights case.
If by stupid stuff by the barber, you mean standing up for his right to carry a firearm and be left alone? Hypocrite.
You have to wonder about the self awareness of a person who would use “Molon Labe” as a handle, but calls a man exercising his right to bear arms “stupid”. Who do you think is going to come for your arms, the cops that is who. There are no good cops.
