A 61-year-old man is dead after he was shot by an officer trying to enforce Maryland’s new ‘red flag’ law in Ferndale Monday morning.
Anne Arundel County Police confirmed the police-involved shooting happened in the 100 block of Linwood Avenue around 5:17 a.m.
According to police, two officers serving a new Extreme Risk Protective Order (Red Flag Law), a Maryland protective order to remove guns from a household, shot and killed the man listed on that order.
“Under the law, family, police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons,” said Sgt. Jacklyn David, with Anne Arundel County Police.

Lord Jesus, please save my country from those who would destroy it.
RE: The movie Minority Report is frightening and is now coming to fruition.
Bingo.
Who needs due process.
Dangerous very dangerous, anybody that has a beef with you can call and say you’re a danger. Pretty scary.
Say, “No red flag!” The next rally might be an opportunity to be heard chanting while walking back out in an orderly manner.
No red flag! No red flag! No red flag!

It would be good to have the court records for this available for public scrutiny but, alas, red flag situations are handled in family court and considered private so not available under FOIA.
Very convenient for the state.
This is old news. According to the cops, the deceased fired a shotgun at the cops who were there to serve the order and the cops dispatched him to Moron Heaven.
I suppose he didn’t have a dog.
So, the article doesn’t show “just cause” as to why they wanted to take gun. Was he threatening someone? A slippery slope.
“We must make sure that those judged to pose a risk to public safety do not have access to firearms—and that if they do, those firearms can be taken through rapid due process. That is why I have called for ‘Red Flag’ laws, also known as Extreme Risk Protection Orders.” —President Trump
If the spineless Repulsicans bend to this red flag crap, CW-II is no longer a prognostication. It is a certainty.
A very near certainty.
And face it, folks, the only Republican with b*lls out there is Trump.
Not any more, if he did.
Yeah, I trust that as much as I trust the FISA courts.
At 5:17 AM. that means police showed up at his door around 5 AM to collect his guns? Not only taking his guns but waking him up in the semi dark? what could go wrong?
I recall a story in Quebec in which an abusive husband was ordered to turn in his guns to the police as he had physically beaten his wife (who went to the local women’s shelter to escape him and his violent behavior). He either did not turn all of his guns in or that he borrowed one from an acquaintance and then proceeded to go to the shelter and shoot and kill his wife in front of the horrified (and defenceless) support worker there. The person who wrote about this story in a national newspaper regarding Canadian gun control efforts simply summed it up with “he didn’t give a damn about the law”.
Cops showed up at 5 AM to take his guns. Did they identify themselves? Did he think he was being broken into? More info is needed before I call the guy a moron
This is going to escalate, which is what their goal is. To make this country unlivable. Everyone will be on edge.
Time for it to break up into 3. Left Coast .... Northeast ... Everything Else.
Let the Leftists on the Coast and Northeast fend for themselves. And make it so uncomfortable for the liberals, everywhere else, that they move to either place.
