Two questions:
1) where do the death threats come from?
2) why is the state trying to take away your gun permit?
Dear SF1900,
1) The Death Threats come from various members of different street gangs who feel that either I am doing too good a job for their rivals or I am not doing
well enough for their own members. My house has been shot at, many people have told my friends and my contacts that there is a "hit" out on me and one guy told
one of my people, unbeknownst to him, that "if he didn't have that gun on him, he'd be mine already."
I also have represented very violent and irrational clients who had no gang affiliation who also blame their present or past condition on me. They have no fear of
returning to prison especially with such a notch on their belt as killing a defense attorney.
2) There is a new Police Chief in my town who unlike any of his predecessors, did not approve my application to renew my permit to carry a handgun. He felt that
there was no real threat to my life. He ignored the assault charge levied against me (I've already mentioned that a racist motivated person claimed that he and I fought
and that I put him in the hospital. My legal team had the case dismissed. That is all I can say as to what really happened).
So now, a Judge decides, at a hearing, whether or not to renew my permit, which I have had for 6 years without any problem or incident. Simply because some new
bureaucrat Chief of Police politico doesn't feel I have any real threat to my life, the Prosecutor now suddenly agrees with him. These are all cowards who are simply driven
to protect their over inflated and unwarranted salaries, pensions and tenure.
I am far less likely to kill or harm anyone with my guns than those who continue to threaten my life and that of my family.
