Missouri Police Chief Resigns Over 2A Protection Law

Missouri Gov. Michael Parson (R) signed a bill last week to prohibit in-state enforcement of certain federal gun controls. On Friday, the O’Fallon police chief responded to the new legislation by resigning from his post.
Philip Dupuis, who has been the police chief since October 2020, said the “poor wording” of the Second Amendment Preservation Act could have “unintended consequences,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The bill allows individual officers to be fined for up to $50,000 for enforcing federal gun laws — legislation which Dupuis said leaves officers vulnerable during “good faith, justified seizures of firearms,” according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Good riddance to the tyrant. He should never have been in the police to begin with, having lied about his oath.

Amen to that. He is a weasel and worse. Good riddance. Now if the DA in that area would just leave….

All tyrants put their ‘good faith’ in government as the god of your rights.

Chief Dupuis is not that unusual among “Law Enforcement” in this country. The overwhelming majority of them exist to protect their Masters and generate revenue. Anything else they might do is purely coincidental to their employment!!!

Finally a ‘just us’ scumbag no longer gets to tell us what to do. Good riddance.

Oh, I feel so badly for the chief! (/sarc)
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Sad part to this is some place along the lines of Portland will welcome him and his thought processes with wide open arms.

My thoughts exactly. O’Fallon is considered a suburb of St Louis, in St Charles county, and far away from me. These police chiefs are appointed, not elected, and like all of you have said it’s the same ole bs all across the country. When my county sheriff found out about the law he said “good”. I wonder if the feds will ‘forget’ to inform the sheriff of an operation until it is underway…

How nice that a tyrant would choose to resign on his own. Now if all statist criminals would do just that.

May that scumbag never find gainful employment again. Un-American to the core.
And likely a tyrant.

Milton-
He’s probably already got his next job all lined up. And it probably pays 25 to 50% more that the one he just resigned.
I live in California. I know how this game is played.
