locks,fire-proof firearms storage and multiple security systems. Peace Keepers, Inc further has received <br /> an inspection from the Ramsey Chief of Police and has met or exceeded all requirements. <br /> realize there are complaints and concerns from neighbors. Many of these concerns are valid <br /> and I have made every action to ensure these concerns are taken care of. That includes ensuring there <br /> is no visible sign of a business on this property. Multiple levels of security on every firearm. I have <br /> never posted the business address to my social media. I have ensured all hours are posted and defined <br /> as "by appointment only." All pictures of my business operations presented to the council have been <br /> pulled from videos posted to my social media page, which have only been to show available <br /> merchandise. The only complaint I have officially received from the city of Ramsey was that I was <br /> operating without a Home Occupation Permit. I made an immediate effort to correct this by providing <br /> the city with my Home Occupation Permit and applying for the Level II Home Occupation Permit. <br /> However, many of these concerns are not valid whatsoever. I realize there are pictures being <br /> taken of my property constantly, including pictures of my vehicles, my fiance's vehicle,friends'vehicles <br /> and even vehicles of city officials. This is in direct violation of Ramsey city ordinance 21-10, section 34- <br /> 133. One picture that was submitted to city council goes as far as to state I was walking to my building <br /> with an unpictured vehicle in my driveway; in the picture you can clearly see it is nothing more than me <br /> walking on my property. According to Chief of Police,Jeff Katers, one resident claimed I was selling illicit <br /> drugs from my house. Chief Katers assured the resident that was not the case. There have been claims <br /> that residents have heard gun shots from my property, but no police report was ever filed. I have never <br /> had a weapon discharged on my property. I have read complaints that there are multiple vehicles <br /> coming and going S days a week. My ATF acquisition and disposition record shows that is far from true. <br /> Including many firearms transactions where the firearm was shipped to another FFL, I have seen less <br /> than 1 transaction per day. Any shipped firearm transaction does not require any vehicle coming to my <br /> property. It was further stated that I have a "grab-bin" of ammunition—I have never had a "grab-bin" of <br /> ammunition. I have complaints reaching as far as stating that my fiance did not actually have a bridal <br /> shower. I can provide pictures from the bridal shower to the council upon request, but I would prefer <br /> not to make her pictures public. Complaints also state that my fiance does not have a rental <br /> agreement—she is my fiance. Many of these complaints are not only not valid, but these are borderline <br /> harassment. I have even received calls from other Ramsey home-based Federal Firearms Licensees over <br /> the past week which state that a complainant has harassed them over their licenses and slandered me. <br /> In the past week, I have seen social media posts that are lies and misleading information about me, my <br /> business and even Home Occupation Permits. The extent to which I have been lied about and harassed <br /> is simply unbelievable. <br /> What I am requesting of the city council is simple—to follow along with established Ramsey <br /> practices of allowing a legal business to conduct legal activities in a legal manner. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Derek Trout <br /> President, <br /> Peace Keepers, Inc <br />
