SOCIETY ASKS COURT
FOR FIREARM PERMITS
Schilling's Organization Petit
tons for Writ of Mandate

The question of whether or not Off
Gals and members of societies for the
protection of children and animals are
entitled TO carry firearms is to be
thrashed out before Judge Murasky as
the outcome of the refusal of the police
commission to issue permits to the
members of the United States protec-
tive association. This organiza ton. of
which Frank Schilling. an attorney, is
the guiding spirit, filed suit in the SUI
perior court Yesterday. asking for a
writ of mandate compelling the COM
mission TO issue permits to its members
to carry revolvers. Judge Murasky
signed an order calling on the COM
missioners to show. cause on June %
why such permits should not be is
sued.
The plaintiff organization asserts
that the permits have been withheld
because Of a conspiracy between the
upper office" of the police department
and the members of the police com
mission.
1t is asserted that under section 607F
of the civil code members of such
bodies are entitled to carry all weapons
that peace officers are authorized to
carry. The need of firearms in order
TO enforce the objects for which the
organization was founded is asserted
in the complaint.
