Cops have a marginally higher rate of firearms offenses than concealed permit holders.
So I ran into McCauly (sp) when I moved from New Jersey to Maryland... there was a records issue where the FBI was claiming that I was a convicted violent criminal. (E.g. New Jersey misreported something... transposed some ordance numbers..)
This was before he got “schooled.”
He sent me a letter indicating that I was a violent criminal who needed to surrender my firearms. I, of course, was like “what the hell are you talking about!?!?”
Anyway, within minutes of calling the Licensing Division, the whole issue was resolved.
However, they would not, specifically McCauly would not, send me a letter recanting the accusition.
I had to get two Senators and my attorney to get involved before they did the right thing: recant the accusation in writing once it was clear it was a goof. (I was working for the DoD at the time, and this stuff needed to be in my permanent record...)
Nice enough guy after the fact, but he was certainly part of the problem until the end of his career. Which, as I understand it, was because he saw the light.
