The ACLU Takes A Stand For Firearm Owners
Lookout firearm owners and shooting enthusiast, the ACLU is siding with you in a case in New Orleans. 7/15/2009
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is getting ready to launch lawyers in another injustice case. However, they are siding with the 2nd Amendment and firearm owners this time.
The ACLU Foundation of Louisiana is suing the city of New Orleans, the New Orleans District Attorney and the New Orleans Chief of Police for refusing to return a firearm it took from a citizen, Erroll Houston, Jr.
Houston, who has a concealed carry permit, was arrested, but later the charges were dropped. When he returned to get his firearm, the district attorney's office refused.
ACLU Executive Director Marjorie R. Esman was quoted on the Outdoor Wire as saying, “Mr. Houston has done nothing wrong. There are no criminal charges against him. His firearm, which he is and was entitled to carry, has been confiscated for no reason. It is past time for NOPD and the District Attorney to return it.”
Esman is scheduled to appear on this Sunday's edition of "Tom Gresham's Gun Talk," the only national radio talk show about firearms.
