FL: Flare gun vs CWP

#1

Post by ELB »

Monroe County Florida

https://www.nbc-2.com/story/42110402/fl ... gal-papers

Two process servers (apparently civilian or private, not deputies) tried to serve papers on an elderly couple. They weren't having it.

The female servee yelled and charged at the servers...but fell down. Then the male servee then fired a flare gun from a 2nd floor balcony at the servers. The male server had a "legally concealed firearm," which he obtained and pointed it at the male servee telling him to stop. Male servee fired a few more flare rounds anyway, bouncing one off the servers' car hood. One of the servers called the sheriff and deputies arrived to find male server holding male servee at gun point. He gave up to cops willingly but female servee got feisty.

Male servee arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm and using a firearm under influence of alcohol (no surprise there), female servee arrested for resisting arrest and battery.

That's an extreme version of Eastwood's "get off may lawn". No way could it turn out good.
