The First Circuit Court of Appeals in New England just handed down another horrible Second Amendment ruling, very similar to the ruling that recently came out of Georgia. In the case in question, the court ruled that a police officer acted appropriately when he not only detained a man for lawfully carrying a concealed firearm but confiscated his gun. From the Atlanta Gun Rights Examiner:

The officer eventually released Schubert but confiscated both his concealed carry license and his firearm. The court, of course, ruled that all of Stern’s actions were appropriate to “ensure his own safety” and because he could not confirm the “facial validity” of the license. A similar case is underway in Virginia, where a man is suing the city of Roanoke and two police officers after he was detained for refusing to answer questions regarding his concealed carry license. Officers pulled over Aaron A. Stevenson for an expired registration. When they learned about his license, they asked if he was carrying a firearm. Stevenson declined to answer, invoking his right to remain silent (which is admittedly not the best way to endear oneself to a police officer). I’ll let the Roanoke Times take it from here:
