The Federal government has an illegal national registry of gun owners and is sharing that information with local police.
When John Filippidis, a Florida resident, was traveling through Maryland earlier this year he was stopped by a officer from the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MTAP), who after 10 minutes on the radio knew he had a concealed carry permit from Florida.
Filippidis left his gun at home, in honor of the gun laws in other states, and stated this to the officer. However, his wife stated ‘it might be in the glove box’, which resulted in a 90 minute search of his car.
The officer called Mr. Filippidis a ‘liar’ and ripped through everything “riders, luggage, Christmas gifts, laundry bags,” and all.
It is against federal law to have a national gun registry, yet here is, once again, proof that the federal government is lawless and intent on disarming Americans.
When Floridian concealed carry permit holder John Filippidis and his family drove through Maryland on their way to New Jersey for Christmas, he was pulled over by the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MTAP), accused of having a gun, humiliated, and searched along with his car and family.
According to The Tampa Tribune, Filippidis normally carries a Kel-Tec semi-automatic pistol for concealed carry. But knowing the gun laws in Maryland and New Jersey, he decided to leave it at home in his safe instead of bringing with him on the trip.
Said Filippidis: “I know the laws and I know the rules, but I think it’s a better idea to leave it at home.”
While driving through Maryland, he was pulled over by a MTAP officer who asked for vehicle license and registration, then went back to the patrol car. “Ten minutes later” the officer came back to the driver’s window, asked Filippidis to exit the Ford Expedition and took him behind the vehicle to ask where his gun was.
Filippidis told the officer he left it at home in a safe.
The officer then walked up to the passenger window and asked Filippidis’ wife where the gun was, and she said: “I don’t know… Maybe in the glove [box]. Maybe in the console. I’m scared of it.”
Following this, the Tribune says the officer returned to Filippidis, called him “a liar,” then spent roughly 90 minutes searching the car for a gun that wasn’t there. This meant emptying the car of its contents—”riders, luggage, Christmas gifts, laundry bags,” and all.
After finding no gun, the officer issued Filippidis a warning and sent him on his way.
The officer’s captain and “a Maryland Transportation Authority Police internal affairs captain” have since both apologized for the incident. Filippidis has not decided yet what his next step will be.
If you have a concealed carry permit, the permit is registered with DMV. when an officer has you plates checked they also tell the officer about the CCP. But that doesn’t give him the right to search your car unless he suspects you are carrying drugs. I was told by the CCP instructor That when you get stopped, always tell the officer that you have a permit and if you don’t have the weapon with you and you tell him so then he has no right to call you a lair.
This is Outrageous. Wed have so much damage to be repaired.
Rules and laws don’t apply to the Obama admistration.
WHY ASK THAT. IF,YOU WATCH THE NEWS,READ YOUR PAPER,AND SEE WHAT Mr. West HAS TALKED ABOUT FOR THE LAST 6 MOS,YOU WOULD KNOW..
Have you notice how this country has gone down hill since “he” came into office? What has happened to our “freedom”?
And RETARD liberals will still argue that “they” don’t want to take your guns, “they” just want to know who has them.
he’s a lying piece of $#%&!@*.
IF you are stupid enough to register your guns.. then of course .. you are going to be targeted.. by this illegal corrupt current administration! THAT is the only reason to register your guns .. is so the government will know who has them!!!!!
I would sue that cop !!!
We have to halt these violations by the ones who should be protecting our rights.AND NOW IS THE TIME!!
