Leave your political agenda
at home.
From: "Michael
Blackstock" Judge Tolby, I was shocked to read your article in the Republic,
(http://www.azcentral.com/community/comstories/0808tolby0808Z8.html)
where you fined a law abiding citizen of the state of Arizona $300.00, stating
he was in violation of Arizona statute 13-3102. You stated: "The law says carrying a concealed deadly weapon
without a permit within the immediate control of any person inside a means
of transportation is a violation. Very plainly, the law says do not have a
weapon within your reach that is concealed inside a car." Did you not read this section of the law? ARS 13-3102: “A.2. Carrying a deadly weapon without a permit
pursuant to section 13-3112 concealed within immediate control of any person
in or on a means of transportation…” “…Subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section
shall not apply to a weapon or weapons carried in a case, holster, scabbard,
pack or luggage which is carried within a means of transportation or within
a storage compartment, trunk or glove compartment of a means of transportation.” Notice it PLAINLY states that subsection A, paragraph
2 DOES NOT APPLY if the weapon is in a holster. You stated: “LESSON: If you carry a gun in your car, you
had better have a permit and have it in plain view or have it out of reach.” THE LESSON I GAINED: Some judges will ignore
the law, and the Constitution, to promote their own personal political agenda
with the harm of Arizona citizens. Then as proof of your agenda you state: "I fined the man $300 and tried to explain
to him that regardless of the law, carrying a gun puts you and your family
at risk." Take a look at these articles: http://www.aapsonline.org/aaps/press/medsentgun.htm I respectfully ask you to uphold the laws of
the fine state of Arizona, and leave your political agenda at home. With Respect, To Get Your Letters Printed Here |
