Hey, I have a great suggestion. Take the damn thing home and look it over!

True J. The guy could have used better judgement but if one is not in the habit of handling guns, i.e. many in this state, one may not be aware of the havoc one's actions may inspire.I personally agree Lammie. A BB Gun is not a firearm, however the LEO could say that it is a fascimilie and looks like a real firearm.
As far as taking it home, I was just making the point that you could even have it out in your yard and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
This is nothing more than the Starbucks anti's and the Brady Bunch stirring up crap. We need to start fighting back instead of turning the other cheek all the time.
Just like the guy who got kicked out of Wally World because some guy started yelling that about him carrying a gun OC.
The OCer should have made a citizen's arrest and had the individual arrested for disorderly conduct and creating a disturbance in a public place. That was no different then yelling fire in a crowded theater.
When Frank got taken, and Jesus, and even Yates we got the police reports right away even though the case wasn't "disposed of yet."
I think I might be going to court over this one....
It was just a BB gun incident, but it is the principle of the thing.
If we could get Yates DC arrest report and copies of the 911 call, why can't we get this guys???
At this point we still don't know all the facts, that was why I submitted the FOI request. The fact that they tried to deny it outright, and then did a poor job of it, has tuned this into a "Sunshine" case.
For now, I think we should only have one front so to speak.
I will be notifying the Chief via snail mail about the issues with his response and will give him another opportunity to comply. If they choose to refuse again, then I will go to BOTH the DA and the AG.
Again, until we have the actual reports, we don't know all the facts. So we need to pursue this form the FOI route first.
What law was he breaking? You'd better look up "brandishing" and remember this guy was in his own vehicle. "Blatantly break the law"? Are you out of your mind? I think you mistook this forum for the "Brady bunch." What BS. Then they interview two morons who obviously are related to you.I think we need to keep in mind that this guy was breaking a couple laws. From my understanding he was in his vehicle and he was supposedly "inspecting" it, which could easily be construed as brandishing. He's lucky he's just looking at a Disorderly. We need to be careful to not jump on the bandwagon of those that blatently break the law.
While we may not agree with the laws we are still expected to adhere to them.
If this guy was found to have been doing the same thing with a real rifle and was found to have been planning a suicide or something worse the police wouldn't be seen as "overreacting" at all. Again, we're not exactly talking about a 100% law abiding citizen.
