Omaha Nebraska Officer Puts His Gun to the Back of My Head

This story was shared via CopBlock.org’s ‘submit‘ page by Nick Mason.
Some friends and I were standing at Qt Gas Station on 103rd and Fort street on 5/14/13 around 2:15 am. We had just gotten off our bikes and we all went in and bought some food and drinks.
We were standing there eating and talking when two officers pulled up in a black and white Chevy Tahoe. I saw that the officers were looking at my firearm that was on my side in a holster. I didn’t really think anything of it because I have an open/concealed carry permit, so I just went on with what I was doing.
I saw that they started walking our way, but I was still not worried about it. The officers approached us asking everyone how we were doing. One of the officers then walked in between all of us. The officer then proceeded to walk behind me without saying anything more. He then turned and said, “Who do you think you are?” then pulled his firearm out and pointed it about an inch from the back of my head, like I was being executed, and ordered me to get face down on the ground. Not knowing what was going on, I did what was ordered of me.
He then told us that he never wanted to see our bikes parked the way they were again. We had three bikes between two spots, in an empty lot.
I had bought some sunflower seeds and was eating them prior to the officers arriving, and was spitting them on the ground. While I was face down, he saw the sunflower seed shells and asked me if I “really wanted to go to jail for littering.” I told him no and that I would clean them up. He then stated that he knew I was “going to be picking them up.”
He then ordered the other three bikers I was with to “leave, right now.” They had to put on all their riding gear but the officer was very impatient and proceeded to ask them why they were still there. He then ordered them to leave again.
The other officer came up to me and disarmed me while asking if it was loaded. I told him yes, that it was. They then asked me if I had any ID on myself. I told them yes and that it was in my left front pocket of my pants. The officer that disarmed me came over and took my wallet. Then while both officers were searching through my wallet, asked me if I had my permit in my wallet. As before, I said yes and told them what the permit looked like and where it was in the wallet.
The officer who grabbed my firearm then ran my ID, my permit, and the serial number on my firearm. The officer that had pointed his firearm at the back of my head was proceeding to call a detective. He asked the detective if Nebraska honored a gun permit from Iowa. He then stated to the detective that they had pulled up to the QT and a couple of people on bikes where standing around. It also appeared that one had a firearm so he approached and he did, in fact, have a firearm on his side.
That officer said that the detective asked how I was acting and he told him that I was not acting in a suspicious manner. I did not act any differently when he approached me, either. I was cooperating fully and was not causing a problem at all.
They then asked me why I felt the need to carry a firearm other then the fact that I have the 2nd Amendment right to do so. I stated “I have the firearm and the permit, so why not.” The officer that pulled his firearm then asked me if I ever felt that my life was endangered on my bike. I said yes and that “I have had a bunch of people swerve at me while I have been riding.” Later the other officer said, “Earlier you said that you carry your firearm on the bike because people swerve at you.” I said “No, he asked me if I have ever felt endangered on my bike and I said I have due to people swerving at me.”
The officer that pulled his firearm then told me I could sit up; he also told me to make sure all my stuff was there and that I could go.

Congressman Stockmann letter to the people

  Barack Obama has announced that on June 3 he will sign a UN treaty banning guns and registering gun owners.

   And he will twist the US Senate to approve it, just like he did with ObamaCare and the NDAA.

   I just signed a letter to Obama warning him to not sign this UN gun grab.
   They claim it only targets "arms dealers, " but it would also require nations to ban many popular types of personal firearms.

   Not angry yet?
   The text of the UN treaty requires nations to record and track all guns...

   ...and all "end users" of guns.
   That means Obama's UN gun scheme would create a national registry of private gun owners.

   Even worse, Obama would submit his list of gun owners to the UN's "international secretariat.” 

   The right to keep and bear arms is granted by God and protecting from government aggression by the Constitution.  It is not subject to the whims of global totalitarians massed in New York City.

   I will not back down.

   We must not let Obama literally hand over our gun rights to the UN.
   Please go here to chip in $10 or more to help me mount an aggressive campaign to defeat Obama's UN gun grab and turn over the names of all US gun owners to the UN's "international secretariat.” 

Obama and the U.N. Treaty may be signed yet

Last month, with a lot of help from Barack Obama, the United Nations passed its global gun ban treaty.

And now, Obama is expected to sign this freedom-crushing disaster as soon as June 3rd — just days from now!!
 

The only way you and I can stop the Obama-U.N. collusion from trampling our Second Amendment freedoms is through the U.S. Senate.

 

Your signed petition is the best tool we have against this attack on our gun rights and our national sovereignty. We need to line the halls of the Senate with boxes and boxes of these petitions — and every petition counts, starting with yours!

We need to send a clear message to every Senator that they have only two choices: Side with us and stop the U.N. gun ban treaty...or start looking for a new job at election time.

So please, sign your petition today...we have zero time to lose. And after you do, I hope that you'll make a much-needed contribution to NRA-ILA so we can WIN THIS FIGHT.

We need to hammer key battleground states with hard-hitting radio and T.V. ads. We need to blanket the Senate with millions of these petitions. We need to put our grassroots boots on the ground and win every last vote we need to stop this dangerous treaty before it becomes the law of the land.

Congressman Stockman says ggodbye to Michele Bachmann

After much prayer and consideration my friend and colleague Michele Bachmann has decided she will not run for re-election next year.

     If you would like to send her a thank-you note, please do so at michelebachmann.com.

     With Obama planning wholesale government takeovers of virtually every sector of the economy while using government agencies to attack his critics, now more than ever we must fight to keep constitutional conservatives in Congress.

 

     The radical Left defeated Allen West last year.

 

 

 

Warmest wishes,

          Congressman Steve Stockman

 

     P.S. My friend and colleague Michele Bachmann has decided she will not run for re-election next year.
