Thats what I mean about backing down .I understand he will not allow you to educate him on the law.But if one doesn,t stand his ground ,thats when you have lost.Because now he can intimidate anyone and you have reinforced in his mind he is right .I do get annoyed with some I have met that vehemently support something untill it may inconvenience them.

As a side note OT.I just went to my bank (which is open on Sunday) Stood at the counter with my bare Para ORdnance hanging out and no one seemed the slightest bit concerned.Which is the point.Everyone is used to seeing me ,know I'm not the bad guy so no one cares.If someone says something I will draw down on him with the very leathal OCDO pamphlet and police training bulletins.

Bookman, I think we all appreciate your input, and I also think you justearned a lot of points with those of us who have been on these boards longer, with your last post. Please don't think we're all ganging-up on you. Stick around a while and see how things work here. I think you'll find that we're mostly good guys/gals, and can learn a lot from each other. I know I've learned much in the time I've been here. Be encouraged to voice your opinions, and especially your questions. :D

I understand.

Realize, the show isn't over. The negative encounter is only Act I.

Once the OCer is out of his clutches, its time for Act II--the FOIA request.

Then comes Act III, the formal complaint.
