E4 No More

I'm not angry, so why do I need to settle down? I just notice a trend, and therefore I ask the question. EDIT: Consider this...you state that the officers handled it wrong, but then say you don't know how you would have handled it. Unless things have dramatically changed in the 16 years since I was a LEO, the police officer is not bound to arrest everyone they see breaking the law. There is such a thing as "Officer's Discretion" in play every day. If there wasn't, there'd be a heck of a lot more arrests - enough to create a police state - and your judge/prosecutor wouldn't be very happy either. If I were the LEO on that call I would have no problem at all with that woman holding a gun on a criminal. It's woman vs man after all, but even if it were a man I still wouldn't have a problem with it. I would have identified her, taken her statement, and transported the thief to jail. Simple as that.

Geez! You've got to be kidding!

As a former police officer I must ask...why does everything have to be so complicated with some folks? Could it be that the police officer was thinking gun + identify = HCP just like he would be thinking car + identify = driver's license if he stopped her while driving? Why does everything seem to have a nefarious angle with some on this forum when the subject is guns and police?

They live in the country, and he just took his sweet time in shipping them to me. I texted Sis this morning, and she says they are on the way; just not here yet.

That was awesome!

I concur!

Thanks for both, Brett. I'll be assembling it this weekend. Unfortunately, I have no primers with which to use it.

I have never darkened Legend's door, so I have no idea...sorry.

Thanks for the props, but you mean, "...looking to the right"; not left.

My Dillion 550B was delivered to my wife's work today!

Other side of I-24 just past "Legends" restaurant.

To explain the sign: My daughter is partnering with a silent partner. This woman's previous partner was stealing from her, and it was during that operation that they were a deli as well. So now under new management, the shop has not started the deli portion yet, but they do have plans to sell sandwiches. They just haven't gotten there yet.

And from this morning I take it the hits just keep on coming?

It's at the street end of the strip mall that's right next to "Legends" restaurant.

I don't drink much anyway. The Scotsman in me, (about 1/2), gets a little too aggressive.

That's the rub, isn't it? My great granny was 100% Cherokee, (who ran away from the reservation in Oklahoma when she was 12 years old), which makes me 1/8th. If I could link any ancestor to the Dawe's Roles of 1909, (or 1903, I forget which), then I am able to claim minority status as a member of the Cherokee Nation. Problem: During the time of the Dawes Roles it was not a good idea to admit that you were a Native American at all, so many people excluded themselves from the role. Now back to your regularly scheduled Obama bash.

I work for Dell in the Small/Medium Business Sales Division, (not as a salesman), so when you are ready to go after your server I may be able to facilitate you getting the best deal possible. PM me when you're ready.

David: Aren't you just contracting server space and ISP for this forum? You don't physically have the server, do you?

Politically, I think that would be an issue, but not legally. I once was told that being 1/8th allowed you to claim the status.

I know that my wife was born in British hospital in Skullthorpe (SP?) England to American parents of which one was in the Air Force, and she's certainly an American citizen: however, the issue is whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen, and thus legally able to hold the office of POTUS.

I agree: however, I would like to hear from an independent witness. It makes me wonder when everyone opens up like that. Kind of like when someone pops off a cap in a combat zone, and everyone else starts firing too even though they don't see any enemy.

I was just wondering who he was; not a biography. That's all.

It don't get it. They just screw into the frame. Why not screw it back in with a smidgeon of Locktite blue?
