Cop who busted Dugar's kidnapper can't get a Kalifornia CCW :: 04/14/2014

The UC Berkeley police officer who famously helped rescue kidnap victim Kaycee Dugard is suing her former employer , claiming she was wrongfully denied approval to carry a concealed firearm after she retired on medical disability.

Allison "Ally" Jacobs became a hero after her intuition helped lead to the capture of Phillip Garrido, the sex offender who held Dugard captive for 18 long years. Jacobs reportedly suffered an on-duty injury about a year later and she accepted a disability retirement in April of 2013.

When she submitted an application for a concealed carry permit, which are available to all retired cops in California, it was rejected.

As it turns out, UC Berkeley doesn't consider her actually retired because she is receiving disability.....

Not actually retired? UC Berkeley is actually making up their own rule, flying in the face of California statute. Surprised? We are not either, but we are sick to our stomachs.
