a real good friend of mine had just broke up with his woman today, and he is now worried about this person giving him a hard time. he lives in cook county, but not chicago. over the years, he has put together a nice gun collection, and now he is worried about the whole revenge factor coming into play. is the only advise to move the whole collection elsewhere, or does he have something to really worry about? this girl is not right in the head, and just might say anything to get his doors kicked in, and his dog shot. if this is the case, i would hope the local police could smell a bullshit story by an ex girlfriend. a little help here, thanks |

I agree with the more "exotic" firearms to be moved but as long as he has a valid FOID and is not breaking any Cook County laws than I would tell him to at least keep one or 2 of the regulars there locked in a safe since she would be pretty much making him disarm himself completely. If hes worried no matter what he has there than tell him to move everything just to be sure, IMO though hes letting some EX disarm him like she was on the Daley/Brady Campaign or something.

This is Cook County, be real. Is that call should be made, he'll be cleaned out. Kits, ammo, anything. Then it will be up to him to get it back. Move the stash, keep a bare minimum at home. Do it now. BTDT If it all blows over and nothing happens, better yet. But plan for the worst, hope for the best. efxguy Edit to add: Chunkeylover, is that you, Homer? |
| Move everything...The police will act on orders because it is their "DUTY". Believe me, they don't care what happens to you! Don't be naive!! It's much better if the police end up a little red faced than with you having to replace your collection. Move them and don't give your ex the time of day. |

You can keep all the weapons that he has which are legal in crook county. Anything that isn't 100% legal should be re-located. All the crazy bitch has to say is that her ex-bf has illigal "Machineguns" and the shit could hit the fan for him. Or say that he threatened her with his firearms... dangerous stuff he's dealing with! Find a friend outside of crook county and stash em out. I am doing it for a friend who still lives in cook right now! |

I would move the weapons to a secure location. Too many orders of protection and false police complaints are filed for pay back and can cause lots of grief on all sides. Next thing you know your having a bad day. LEOs are having a bad day too wasting time and getting a bad rap for something they did not start. EX-girlfiend is laughing her ass off watching/hearing about your bad day. She then does not show for the the OOP hearing or respond further to the police report and its dropped.......much later.

h. Are you subject to a court order restraining you from harassing, stalking, or threatening your child, or an intimate partner or child of such partner? (See Important Notice 7) Women are being instructed by shyster attorneys to drop the comments "threatened" and "firearms" during divorce proceedings as a leverage tool - even when no threats were ever actually made. Another tactic? Telling a "competent authority" (judge or court officer) that they're "worried about poor Johnny Doe... he's so traumatized by this divorce... I'd hate for him to do something drastic... what, with his being so despondent and having all those guns in the house". Tell your friend to secure his shit before the potential notice from the court comes - at least for a few weeks. And maintain records of all commo. He should avoid contacting her as much as possible. After a few weeks with no contact he can start resuming his normal existence. |

Relocate the weapons.. do it immediately. If he is even slightly worried she'll make a false complaint then he needs to move them asap. All she has to say is that he threatened to shoot her and they'll take it all, then good luck getting anything back. What your friend should do, is to go and talk with an officer at his local PD and get his fears on paper that she is unstable and that he simply wants her gone. Make sure he tells the officer he fears she will file false complaints against him. If she does try something, he'll be able to say he has no firearms in his current location, and that he spoke with officer so and so regarding his fears about that crazy woman. Tell him to be proactive. A woman scorned is dangerous enough. A scorned crazy bitch is deadly. |

Won't the police investigate thier whereabouts as if they're now stolen or missing? Won't hiding them or not disclosing thier location upon investigation constitute obstruction of justice? Most departments will sniff it out. They'll raid to absolve themsenves of liability, and to use it as an excuse to see if he is breaking the law, but they'll warn her of making false statements to the police. |

Guns? What guns? The guy can keep his guns anywhere he wants. Right now he is keeping them somewhere else. He hasn't broken any laws. What this does is keep the I have freinds that are LEOs; if they were told to go take some guys guns I don't think they would have any choice. |
Sadly you're probably right. All the while.....Sgt. Drew Peterson and Craig Stebac wander the Earth freely. It's soft targets or no targets! Hey....work smart not hard right? Look busy to tax payers and all is well

Why not file an "Information for Police" report. Go into the station, ask to speak to a detective, lay out your story, and say that you wanted it documented with the police, in case your gf is crazy. Cops call crazy people 10-96. You could surely use the term with them. Do NOT mention guns, weapons, or anything else of the like. That way, if she goes to the cops, they will look into any activity that occurred at your address, and your report will be a red flag that something isn't right. Best of Luck! Marcus p.s. I hope you kept at least one gun at home. You don't want boiled rabbits. |
