Update: Last month we brought you the story of Francesca Rice, an Iraq war veteran in Lakewood whose stockpile of licensed firearms was seized by cops. So Rice, whose service left her disabled, pursued justice the American way: By suing their ass.
Since Scene first reported the story, Rices arsenal has been restocked and her legal action tabled.
The incident started in September 2010, when Lakewood Police were asked to check on Rice by the VA hospital, where shed been receiving treatment. Thirteen weapons including a machine gun and sniper rifle were taken when cops suspected Rices disability prevented her from owning them under Ohio law. \
Last week, with no further evidence from the VA that Rice couldnt handle a gun, the police returned her weapons.
