If we can’t charge you with a crime, we’ll make one up because we don’t like what you’re doing
The gun show loophole, which does not exist, will no doubt get airplay because of this incident:
A city man was indicted earlier this year for a crime that does not exist, a judge has ruled.
Timothy Geddes, [address info snipped, I wish the press would do the same thing – after all, why are you advertising where criminals can go and steal guns? And of course there are also privacy concerns.] had been charged with selling a pistol to another person “without being licensed to do so.”
Geddes was indicted on the charge Jan. 22, but Hillsborough County Superior Court Chief Justice Robert Lynn dismissed the case Sept. 28.
Lynn ruled that there is no such crime, and state law does not require a gun owner to have a license in order to sell a firearm to another person.
Shouldn’t police know the laws?
