Affirmative - I spoke with the apartment manager a few minutes ago. She said the management has no policy regarding weapons or CHL's. I showed her my license - I don't think she had ever seen one. She said as far as the apartments was concerned my having a CHL and carrying a weapon was strictly a private matter and nobody's business but mine. She was at the meeting last year and she did recall the issue of CHL's coming up. BTW, the same officer that conducted the meeting last year will be there this afternoon as well. So the matter of disarming CHL holders came strictly from the police and not the apartment management. If the police ask CHL holders to disarm for the meeting I will be "chatting" with that officer after the meeting. She said he's a "real nice guy". I hope he remains that way after the meeting.

I think, personally, I would stay away from the meeting. I lived in AZ one time where a guy went crazy at a similar meeting and opened fire on the crowd. Them (the police) wanting to dsarm me wouldn't encourage me to go to the meeting.

If you have the time and energy, you should complain long and loud up through the police department hierarchy and beyond. If they allow this to stand without an apology, then it is pretty clear the policy of the HPD to not trust law-abiding citizens, and in that case law abiding citizens should not trust the HPD, and I don't care how many "good" cops are on the force -- the organization is not to be trusted.

And no, I would not have said a word at the meeting. I would have left -- not in lieu of handing in my gun, but in disgust.
