I screwed up.

How many tickets have you had?

At the time he called, he told me I had ten speeding tickets in 10 years. I pulled my MVR, and that wasn't quite true, I think it was 8 in ten years. He was telling me that it could be considered a form of aggressive behavior. But how was I supposed to respond to that? "I am NOT aggressive you SOB!" Haha. I never heard from him after that, nor did I expect to.

If that's the case, then perhaps the detectives shouldn't waste their, and my, time personally calling me and making weak threats to revoke my ccw for "too many speeding tickets."

They do that? Are you kidding?

[KevDen2005]

Not so much... Mack is pretty pro-gun. I'm not entirely sure he has too much of his hands in what goes on with CCW other than signing off.

He does sign off on the policies surrounding ccw for his agency. I do like Mac, as I got to have beers with the guy and had a great conversation. It was no secret Darr did not like CCW and made it difficult as much as possible to get. I'm sure everyone remembers when ACSO would regularly take as long as 110 days or more to approve CCW even though statute requires 90 and when you call to find out the status of it after 90 days you get threatened to just have it not approved. There were other things Darr would do to as I recall. I'm sure Mac is "cooler" but ACSO hasn't changed in the CCW department very much. Along with charging full price for a CCW when renewing from another county and they say, "yeah it's a different county so we need full price." But if you go from Adams to Jeffco they only charge the renewal fee and not full price.

Not kidding, I got the call. I've never heard of anyone else ever getting special like that before, and I never heard back from the detective either. He honestly sounded like he didn't want to be making that phone call Any more than I wanted to receive it. This was right as I was renewing, if that counts for anything. There are so few people who handle the ccw stuff in Adams County that they really don't have the time for petty stuff like that. Everyone I've dealt with each time is genuinely polite as well, so I wouldn't worry about it. My driving record was likely worse back when I first applied amd it was never an issue.

Further why I feel that CCW stuff is below ACSO or they feel that they will make it difficult by overloading the staff and not giving them the resources to make it efficient.

Latest update:

I got back from another work trip yesterday to finally receive my TSA "Notice of violation" and "civil penalty" assessment. They batch send out these things at the end of every month.

As anticipated, The fine is $3000. $1500 if I pay within 30 days. There are also other options, formal hearing, informal hearing, financial hardship application, etc.

I have found an attorney that deals with TSA regularly and is quite affordable. He can't get the fine eliminated, but he guarantees he can get it down to $750. That plus his flat rate fee of $350 brings it to a total of $1100. The lawyer is formerly a chief counsel in the TSA NOV office. Before that he worked at the DOJ. I did as much research that I needed to satisfy my curiosity that he is legit and found quite a lot of info on him (mostly about him representing the TSA in court cases). His website is a bit basic, but oh well. If for some reason he is some extremely elaborate con artist that is targeting a VERY niche market of people with firearm TSA violations, I guess I'll be losing a few dollars. I sent him an email this morning for information and he called me within 5 minutes. After talking to him for a bit I feel this is the right way to go. It will save me a few hundred bucks and he takes care of all the paperwork, communication with the TSA, etc.

I will update once again next week once the case is settled as to how it goes.

Write off the fine as a travel expense
