    | Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith says the request by Holmes is a fraud and a classic example of how the controversial new law can be abused. A petition can only be filed by a law enforcement officer or family member, under the red flag law. Holmes is claiming she shares ties to a child with Cpl. Morris in the petition.
 
 The Colorado State University Police Department sent the following statement to 11 News on Cpl. Morris:
 "Colorado State University Police Department Cpl. Morris is not on leave and continues to serve in his capacity as a peace officer at CSU, and continues to lawfully carry his weapons. He does not share a child with Susan Holmes.

    | He gets the benefit of the doubt, but will you or I? 
 Look for a lot more unhappy wives and girlfriends requesting filing unjust petitions for revenge.

                      | The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |  |  |
