    They need to petition ATF for the "search warrant" not the FFL.

    Chitwood knows he cannot get a search warrant - on several grounds. First, warrants must be specific, and Chitwood is casting a rather large net, hoping he gets lucky. He "might" convince a judge to do that, maybe. But, he wont try - because he's gonna run afoul of ATF if he does. His hope is on voluntary cooperation.

    Chitwood is going to be out of DB very soon, as sworn in as Sheriff if Volusia County. This is politics, its grandstanding, its a media play.... and he knows it. His actions are not suprising. Chitwood was a marginal CofP in Daytona, and turned a blind eye to many issues, while also "cracking down" on folks who were basically not causing much trouble at all.

    That is to say, I have personally seen his officers cite motorcycles for displaying blue, or reddish colored LED lighting at startup, even when those LEDs were off after the engine was running - ie, turn the key, leds flash on-off, push starter... leds remain off.... but that's a no-no according to Chitwood. And the out of towner bikers pay the fines. Any local would go to court and have it tossed.

    Another of Chitwoods programs is to rid the beach area of vagrants. If you sit on a park bench after about 2am (in a town that basically doesn't shut down till 4am or even 6am in cases), you're in danger of being hauled in to jail on vagrancy charges - if - you've got any sort of alcohol on your breath. Yah. Lets see.... bars and hotels are all easy walking distance from each other... you have some drinks, are walking back to the hotel, maybe walk on the boardwalk (which has no closing time), and have a seat. You're busted.

    All the while, two blocks from that area are crackheads, real vagrants living under stairways, or under the beach access pilings... ya see... they have no money, but the out of towners do. Go get the "fines" from them.

    Chitwood is basically a politician out for himself. He has not molecule to stand on, so he went to the media, in order to bolster his position on being a tough LE administrator.

    They have no evidence and are reaching on this.

    To prove my point that Chitwood is a dirty cop, a politician out for his own gain, read that piece above.

    Seems ol' Chitwood had his own little gun walking operation going on, illegally of course, and had to stop when ATF noticed what he was doing. The man is a discredit to his uniform, and all the good, hard working, decent and law abiding LEOs out there (which are most of them).

    "WAS." This is 6 years old, remember. I wonder how it turned out.

    Go pound sand..
    Don't gun shops delete records after 30 days? There is no gun registration in Florida

    Nope, just you.

    I deal in reality. Here's the Florida statute: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/.../0790.335.html

    Pay attention to subsection "F", 1 and 2: 1. Electronic firearm records held pursuant to chapter 538 may only be kept by a secondhand dealer for 30 days after the date of the purchase of the firearm by the secondhand dealer.2. Electronic firearm records held pursuant to chapter 539 may only be kept by a pawnbroker for 30 days after the expiration of the loan that is secured by a firearm or 30 days after the date of purchase of a firearm, whichever is applicable.
