The entire fiasco has ended with regard to the warrants for dog licenses with the judicial system. I did not have to appear in court nor did I have to retain counsel; the presiding judge reviewed the warrants and dismissed them. Now I am waiting for the NICS to be updated with the warrants removed. Once the NICS is updated I will be able to retrieve my firearms from the FBI. However, I still need to discuss my being on the no fly list with Homeland Security.
It is really sad and a reflection on our legal system when a person can be disarmed, banned from flying (denied the freedom of travel), denied their constitutional rights, and have a warrant issued due to some low level bureaucrat who got upset that you did not renew a dog license. What is next? Parking tickets?
Imagine if you had to appear in court. It would have been a long expensive trip since you cannot fly. Good luck with getting of the no fly list.
