"In the 18 years that he has been a police officer in Bangor, James Dearing couldn't think of a single time when someone has asked him to turn over his firearm."
"Until last Friday."
"Dearing, who was patrolling his assigned beat near the Bangor Civic Center, decided to stop in and cast an early vote. He walked into the polling place in full uniform and stood in a short line with other voters."
"One of the election officials told Dearing he couldn't bring his gun inside. The officer said he thought it was a joke."
"Election warden Wayne Mallar then approached Dearing and reiterated the request: Turn over your weapon to another officer or we can't let you vote." |

TO REMEMBER |
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
