Webb, Dorchester County Planning and Zoning Director, escalated matters. She accused Willey of running an illegal business and other infractions, all later withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unexpected-visit-and-confiscation\">Unexpected Visit and Confiscation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, an inspector from Webb\u2019s office entered Willey\u2019s property for a compliance check. Days later, Webb allegedly visited Willey\u2019s property unannounced. She berated him and attached Notices of Violation to his boat cover, causing damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webb then filed an Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO) to confiscate Willey&#8217;s firearms and ammunition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Willey vehemently denies the alleged threats that led to the filing. According to the lawsuit, Webb committed perjury, resulting in the seizure of Willey&#8217;s firearms and a forced mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-violation-of-constitutional-rights-under-maryland-s-red-flag-law\">Violation of Constitutional Rights Under Maryland&#8217;s Red Flag Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF claims that Willey\u2019s constitutional rights were violated for nearly two weeks until his firearms were returned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the sort of nonsense we have repeatedly warned about,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cThese so-called \u2018red flag laws\u2019 can be abused and weaponized against private citizens who have done nothing wrong. It is an outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-question-of-legality\">A Question of Legality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut questioned the foundation of red flag laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRed flag laws are based on the inherently Orwellian belief that you can take actions against someone for an alleged crime that hasn\u2019t occurred,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Such laws authorize seizure and punishment for a crime nobody committed but which could occur at some place and time in the future. This may work in a science fiction movie, but should not be allowed in real life,&#8221; Kraut concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-legal-representation\">Legal Representation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys Edward Andrew Paltzik and Serge Krimnus of the Bochner PLLC law firm in New York City are representing SAF and Willey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the debate over red flag laws intensifies, this lawsuit could set a legal precedent, potentially impacting future cases and legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-sues-maryland-over-controversial-red-flag-law\" title=\"SAF Sues Maryland Over Controversial 'Red Flag' Law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRed flag laws are based on the inherently Orwellian belief that you can take actions against someone for an alleged crime that hasn\u2019t occurred,&#8221;
