Assistance re Chief Beck

[The Lost Viking]

Members-

I am an attorney looking for assistance in getting information regarding litigation my firm is handling. The firm I work for is one most of you are all familiar with, but I won't name it at this time in order to keep opposing counsel from learning of this post should counsel be monitoring these boards, and then using the fact of this post as a distracting point to raise in opposition to arguments we make to the court.

I am looking for links to news articles discussing Chief Beck's anti-gun positions, specifically with regard to handguns. Any links you can provide would be of great help in my case.

Thanks,

[Purple K]

Good luck on your mission

Just for fun, for those of us not in LA, it would be helpful to say "LAPD Chief Charles Beck"

Presuming that's the right guy, the LATimes has http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep...-guns-20110917, SCPR has http://www.scpr.org/programs/patt-mo...ctober-17-2011, and there's a youtube video of a speech to the Brady folks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SotYYpPDgw

I'm still wondering how the small handgun ban in places like the Valley and LA are still Constitutional in light of Heller and State pre-emption.

Oh, and thanks, Librarian. Those were some great links to view.

In regards to the youtube video its now wonder L.A. has such a huge crime problem.

I've seen some disturbing things in my time on Calguns, but that video of Beck addressing the Brady Campaign has to rank #1. That was a serious reality check as to who is on the other side of the debate.

Calming breaths and a mental checklist of recent legal victories.....

Besides being anti self defense -- This ham went all out announicing the arrest of an innocent man in Giants fan beating --Brian Stow.

We could not believe this chief LEO pronouncing guilt -day after day .
Unfortunately for chief beck ,the guy never attended any ball game .

Antonio Villa? villagrosia? proud memeber of Bloombergs MAIG should feel some political heat . But being a democrat gets cover from LAmedia.

Doubt anyone can use this , but it should be remembered

Portantino said open-carry supporters don't realize how they complicate matters for police, who can have a hard time distinguishing between armed criminals and armed activists.

"Open carry puts law enforcement and families at risk on Main Street, California," the lawmaker said. "It wastes law enforcement time and attention dealing with unnecessary 911 calls about gun-toting men and women in coffee shops, restaurants and malls."

His measure was endorsed by Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, the California Police Chiefs Assn. and Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck.

"We need to limit the number of guns in public, not increase them by wearing them on our hips," Beck said. "This is not Dodge City…. We are a modern civilized community, and we should work on peaceful solutions to end criminal behavior." http://www.calltodecision.com/csgb.htm

I just scanned these but hope they help.
