The police chief's wife filed a temporary restraining order against him under the state Prevention of Domestic Violence Act.
As a result, the police chief in this seaside resort is not permitted to carry a gun.
And let's see: wifey throws a fit at school resulting in a disorderly conduct 911 call, she falls into the ocean, she's "pretty much suffering a nervous breakdown," and yet the catch-all system where disarmament orders based on unproven, highly motivated complaints are de rigueur in domestic disputes...
In fairness to her, maybe he's the reason she's so stressed out. The point being, without due process, we've allowed the precedent of infringing first and verifying second to become the unquestioned "law of the land."
Ah well. The chief spent a career, among other things, enforcing New Jersey "gun laws" against non "Only Ones," and enjoying a privileged status that any of us would have been destroyed for emulating. It's tough for me to sympathize.
I find it quite funny myself. What goes around comes around. I think this maybe one of a few stories that I heard where a police officer is finally disarmed on the job. Serves him right especially a New Jersey ONLY ONE!!
