“Dennis Nielsen, owner of Freedom Arms, a new gun store on U.S.70 Business in Clayton [NC], requested a machine gun permit in May,” newsobserver.com reports. [Johnston County Sheriff Steve] Bizzell refused, saying he needed more information, including the type of automatic weapon Nielsen needed a permit for, where and how it would be stored, and why Nielsen needed the weapon.” Neilen’s suing; and it sounds like the Air Force vet doesn’t like playing games. “Nielsen responded to the sheriff’s first letter explaining that he required the machine gun to protect his business, but he would not provide the serial number, the make of the weapon or how it would be stored. ‘I said I have adequate storage for all firearms because I didn’t want to tell them, because everything you write to them is public record.” Fair enough?
