CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WTVC) – Police charged a Tennessee man after they say he forged former President Barack Obama's name on an application for a handgun permit.

Chattanooga officers arrested Robert Joseph Hallick on Feb. 11. He's charged with perjury, forgery and identity theft.

An affidavit obtained by WTVC says Hallick had been denied a gun permit request using his own name back in Nov. due to an active warrant for his arrest in the state of Michigan.

The arrest report says Hallick sent another application on Jan. 21, except this time he used the name "President Barack H. Obama" instead and included a $50 check with the form.

The report also says Hallick's application also contained a letter "bearing the United States of America seal with United States Department of State letterhead."

9. The Right thinks it's a free for all

Their leader, Trump, never followed the rules and simply made a mockery of them, they think this applies to them too and are finding out they go to jail when they break the rules.

I don't think I've ever seen it in my local stationery store!

15. Really?

This is embarrassing even for Tennessee. However, I'm sure Hallick thought himself wildly clever.

Kiss that $50 good-bye, fool. Maybe a little jail time to think things through.

Stupid is as stupid does.
