I've removed product from packaging in Costco. I've never thought of it as destroying merchandise. I'll just buy the stuff and return it if it doesn't work from now on.

I can relate to this guy somewhat. I was accused by the cops of being "argumentative", "disruptive" and "furious" while armed in a Costco. Cops investigated, cops wrote TNDPS and suspended my handgun permit and that was one of the reasons. I was in contact with one of their corporate attorneys after I subpoenad a witness and a video tapes of the alleged incident. The corporate attorney contacted me and said the "witness" never saw me being argumentative. I told her I have never had a conversation with any employee or person at costco about weapons. She also told me they had no video.

Would very much like to know how this purported radio transcript came to be available on an on going investigation.

If true, certain elements are painted very differently.

It seems real enough. The link to the audio was posted over on Nevada shooters website. It does not answer too many questions for me though. I still am of the mindset the LVMPD acted wrongly here.

There is a website that is police scanner related and they record and archive stuff. This one comes from that website.

Somebody recorded the radio transmissions. Somebody listened to the recording and typed the words spoken on a computer. Somebody posted the transcript on the internet.

I think I heard in a promo that the sheriff is supposed to be on KXNT tomorrow to talk about the recent officer involved shooting and supposedly take callers. It was Alan on the promo so I can only assume that it's during his show. I listened a bit longer trying to re-hear the promo but got home before they played it again. Nothing I can find on their website except that Alans show is 3p-6p.

Thought others might be interested.

Gun on the ground?

If Eric Scott pulled out his gun and pointed at the Cops why wasn't it on the ground after he ws shot 7 times? I read the papers from the LV area, and the witnesses said they did not see a gun on the ground? Did Eric have time to reholster it before he was killed?
Just askin'

We just got this hard hitting editorial in the RJ. I'm glad to see it. It's a must read:

http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/a-few-questions-for-metro-99190929.html?ref=929

"If I point a firearm at someone it's considered to be a crime, called "assault." If I shoot a police officer simply because he puts his hand on the butt of his sidearm while it's still in the holster, I'll go to prison (at best). How come cops don't go to prison if they shoot someone simply for touching a gun? I suppose people will say, "You're not in danger if a policeman puts his hand on his gun, because they don't go around shooting people.""

Just adding this: I finished reading all the comments, and the 911 operator "Jeremy.Olson" is full of it. His job is to question callers and get as much information as possible about the subject's behavior. Dispatching all units Code 3 to "Man with a gun" because someone's shirt rode up, is not in the interest of officer safety. More police are killed in traffic accidents than by gunfire.

It was originally posted on AR15.com... Here is a quote (WITH THE ACTUAL AUDIO FILE) posted on yet another site.

Crazynova on AR15.com made the transcription from the following arrchive:

http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?action=archives&feedId=4657

That's the archive site for the NWAC channel. The OIS from Thursday night is on there too, but you need a paid subscription to listen to it. I have is saved, so I'll try to find a host and upload it.

Edit: Costco OIS http://www.filedropper.com/costcoois1 <- ACTUAL AUDIO FILE OF THE DISPATCH

I would normally be hesistant about sharing this, since it hasn't been officially released, but many sites archive scanner traffic. You can find it easily if you look, so to me it is already public information.

My first Open Carry in the PSRK

Wanted to share my first experience Open Carrying in the People's Socialist Republic of Kalifornia. Driving from Las Vegas To Yuma, I stopped just short of the state line on US95 to unload, drove through Vidal Junction where I stopped to use the restroom at a the one and only convenience store there. Their store's policy was that a customer may use the restroom free of charge, all others must pay a small fee to get a restroom Key. Made a purchase with my considerably lighter firearm plainly observable to ordinary observation just when you guessed it, a CHP officer from the inspection station across the road came inside. As I passed him while he shopped, he asked me if I still had one in the chamber, to which I simply replied, "Would you care to inspect my firearm?" he said no, and I continued about my business, without answering his question I might add. As soon as I crossed over to the AZ side of the river, I reloaded.

Several customers and people out stretching their legs saw that I was armed and, GHASP, no one panicked. in Kalifornia of all places no less. I guess a MWAG is no more a threat there than they are in Nevada or Arizona.

It seems the Cali officer was familiar with Open Carry law, and aware of the Fact that he did not have to inspect your firearm. Sounds like a very fair encounter.
