Fairfax County
*******************************************
Since I first reported on three Fairfax County police officers falsely
arresting a North Carolina concealed handgun permit holder last week,
I have been contacted by Lt. O'Connor with the Fairfax County Police.
Lt. O'Connor is going to be handling the investigation into the
incident, which happened on June 21st at the intersection of Richmond
Hwy and Lockheed Blvd.
Lt. O'Connor was polite and professional. He basically confirmed that
the statement of facts I had made about what happened was pretty much
what he had heard. He said the investigation might change that
understanding though.
He expected the investigation to last about two weeks.
Once the investigation is complete and we see what actions Fairfax
County is going to take to prevent further abuses of law-abiding gun
owners, VCDL will decide what to do and react accordingly.

I know Lt. O'Conner and he will handle it. On another note, about 10 years ago, I was pulled over on I-95 by VSP and the Trooper absolutley freaked out when I told him I had a permit and had a weapon in the car, he ordered me out of the car ( on a major highway ), instructed me to stand at the front of the car facing forward, while he took my weapon into his possession. He then took it back to his car, came back, and told me to get back in my car. He stated that I was carrying illegal ammo as well. Hydroshocks. He was wrong. The next day, his supervisor called me and told me to come pick up my ammo at the station, and that the officer was being repremanded and trained on how to deal with the same situation in the future.
You have to remember, some of these officers are 21 years old. Rookies, wet behind the ears. They don't know ALL the laws...and honestly, who does?
VSP-968 RIP
