I also want to thank Zippz for all he has done for the 2a cause and particularly for this issue.

The problem lies entirely with HPD.  Zippz talking to the Sgt. is a cordial attempt to remind them of the settlement and not try (if that was the intent) to circumvent it at their convenience.

If there was new people and they didn't know, again, the problem is with HPD.  A troubling training issue that seems to be plaguing the department, as the recent unattended rifle incident shows recently.

After all, what good would it have done if you go in screaming and yelling about a settlement issue.  HPD, State, and County has the hammer over all of us.

They know it, and are full of it when they remind us of it.

Have you seen how many signs and posters they have around the records and firearms sections?

it's NOT a training issue.  It's giving the issue high enough priority that they spend 2 minutes putting together a list of policies and procedures for the Firearms section workers to look at.  Post it on the countertop, on the window facing them, on the backside of the door so they see it when closing up, ...

Ok.  If it's not a training issue, something still is wrong over there.  I would think somebody is in charge at the firearms section and would know that on Wednesdays you stay until everyone in line at closing time is serviced.

I talked to the SGT at HPD and explained the Wednesday incident.  He wasn't there at the time and not aware there was an incident, and will bring it up the chain.

I asked that they send out a notice ahead of time if they do it again, and for an apology to the 15 people affected.

It should be a rare occurrence, probably every thanksgiving, and some major holidays depending when it falls.

My wife and I were also in the line on the 22nd.  Got there at 3:45 (22 in line) and also experienced the "We are closing in 10 minutes."   Two guys in front of us left, leaving two in front of us, who got in the door just before 6:30.  Then the female officer with glasses, said something like that is all for today.  I mentioned about the lawsuit that anyone in line by 6:30 will be served, her response was "Then we would be here all night." so those who waited were turned away.

Yesterday my wife with her sister got in line at 1:45 with about 30+ in line.  Because of the rain the line wrapped back under the building cover.  There was a guy with his little son went in, he said he is not cutting, and he also mentioned that it took him 5 hours this morning.  We got in the door at 6:22 and when we left there were 24 still in line.  Note: noticed about 5 or so leaving while we were in line.

Thank you DesertRangerTycho for monitoring and reminding the staff of the lawsuit.

For those in line by 6:30, could you let us know what  time did you finish.

I tried looking but not successful, could someone please post a link for the lawsuit settlement for the "Wednesday nights, process everyone in line before 6:30," so we can print it out and hare it in our submission packet documentation.
Thanks

holy cow, things really have gone from bad to worse.  Karl Rhoads must be pleased.
