They are the rule makers. Not the law maker. Their rules are the law of the land until challenged in court or the attorney general makes a formal opinion letter available. The attorney general does have staff farmed out to various state agencies so agency legal experts have their connections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-14943958022465240042013-02-20T17:33:45.818-06:002013-02-20T17:33:45.818-06:00Warren Strain is not an attorney.

As a concealed carry permit holder, I really don't care what you wanted to do with the info. I'm glad you were denied.<br /><br />Furthermore, if you're all worked up about it, take DPS to court. My guess is that you'd rather write a bunch of spin here about how DPS isn't complying with the law than pursue an avenue that could remedy that.

It is a journalistic story that they denied you (and theoretically us)the government records. Government, as a God-ordained institution, acts like the Almighty in the sense that they create all manner of legal opinions, rules, and commentaries of commandments. That is why we pray God grant them wisdom.Charlie Alihttp://jacksonprecincts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88331824805693113292013-02-20T09:17:41.917-06:002013-02-20T09:17:41.917-06:00Your ability KF to work the FOIA process is amazin...Your ability KF to work the FOIA process is amazing and our state is a better place because of your efforts.<br /><br />Do you have any status on the Motorola-Hinds transparency lawsuit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-56946012864254144552013-02-20T08:31:22.091-06:002013-02-20T08:31:22.091-06:00I agree with Kingfish AND Shadowfax.
