So what kind of scanner do you have? I was looking at one, but it was analog and given the price I was pretty sure it wasn't going to get Tacoma PD, maybe Pierce but I don't know if they are on trunked 800 Mhz or not.......I want one but I don't want to shell out hundreds to get one either......for the price of one of the good scanners I bet I could purchase another pistol or lots of ammo.......Some sort of armed stand off here this morning. They took it over to Tac1 which is encrypted.
:cuss:
That's true, but 100's of people are killed every night because "their judgement is impaired and a bar fight may become a gunfight.".....Johnny Law wrote:Just to help clarify regarding cc, you may carry in a grocery store or other place that sells alcohol. You may not in a bar or place that serves alcohol. You are probably well aware of this mainsail, but the reasoning behind not carrying in a bar is that when people drink, their judgement is impaired and a bar fight may become a gunfight.
There is NO law/code against carrying at ANY alcohol serving/selling establishment here in Utah. I don't drink when my wife and I are out due to the fact 1) I drive 2) I don't wanna "loose" control of NOT being able to defend myself and my wife at ANY time.
Carry on:celebrate.
I was getting OPD or maybe TCS unsure of which but think OPD since they were respond to city addresses on my crappy West Marine handheld VHF on channel 12 I think. Can't remember now as I returned the POS (battery charger never worked) but it was fun to listen to the calls.I have the Uniden BC396, which runs about $500 or so. No, the cheap analog scanner won’t be able to receive and decode the system Tacoma uses. Pierce county sheriffs are still analog, but I’m not sure for how much longer. Steilacoom, Gig Harbor, DuPont, and Lakewood are all dispatched through Pierce County West on 155.640.

What?? You mean they AREN'T?? :what:
Imagine that...:lol:
Even more strange is that our law allows a drunk person to possess a gun outside of a bar while not allowing a sober person to possess a gun inside a bar (unless they are the owner or security staff--and then they could legally be drunk.)
Common sense says to not carry while drunk, but, in WA, I have found no law prohibiting carrying while drunk. Other states have far better laws; gun in bar ok, drunk with gun anywhere--not ok.
I was recently in my vehicle (passenger seat) while drunk. My friend was stopped for speeding. My gun was in my glove boxsince we had been at a bar.(insurance/reg inthe glove box too) The officer held onto the gun for his safety during the stop (I was fine with that, I didn't have any need for a gun while drunk). He handed it back to me at the end of the stop. No big deal at all. My friend did not have a CPL so he clearly returned possession of the gun to the drunk guy. (I was nowhere close to .08, btw... he clearly knew I was wasted.)
We should really try to get the law changed. We would need a very good legislator to effect a positive change on this though. I don't want to give up the right to have a gun while drunk (maybe stupid, but, hey, why give up a right if you don't get anything back, right?) if I am not gaining the right to have a gun in a bar. This mistaken law(s) needs to be flipped around!
They may have trouble proving that one, but it doesn't mean they won't charge you with it. The officer could argue that the circumstances of your carrying while intoxicatedwarranted alarm. This is a misinterpretation of the law, but it may actually hold up in court, but fail in appeal. Can you afford to take it that far?...in a manner, under circumstances, and at a time and place that... warrants alarm for the safety of other persons.
Actually actually it says "In the possession of a person who is in any place in which a concealed pistol license is required, and who is under the influence of any drug or under the influence of intoxicating liquor,"joshmmm wrote: actually RCW 9.41.098 authorizes a police officer to confiscate your firearm (and never give it back) if you are determined to be under the influence of intoxicating liqour,

What the heck is that supposed to mean? In what places do you have to have a concealed pistol license in order to possess a gun? Do they mean any place in which you are carrying concealed? So if you were open carrying and you were rip roaring drunk it would be OK since you don't need a CPL to open carry.
Okay, I guess I'm in the market for a scanner. Any recommendations?
