You know, it's a damn shame that some people here are so severely short sighted.
Some people simply won't or can't recognize that the moderator has already been magnanimous in allowing this thread to continue, focused on the subject of: "In this case, I think the primary point that hasn't been made clear is how was the man "checked out" and were there any violations of law in doing so?"
No, instead, some people feel it's better here to engage in puffery, casting aspersions at one another, the manner of carry, the choices of the site owner, etc. etc. because...????
I can only hope those who have previously posted, or those who are thinking about posting, restrain themselves and either post on the subject, or by their restraint otherwise allow the thread to remain open long enough for me to conclude and post the results of my investigation, either here or elsewhere.
If the moderator sanctions anyone because they just can't control themselves, I'm certainly not going to shed any tears.
