Indy LTCH holder nabbed in Bloomington

[churchmouse]

I wasn't sure... I just wondered why 40 mattered.

It puts him in a militant light with the libs. Headline news...40 GUNS NABBED FROM NUT JOBS HOUSE>

 

[Kaardomos]

I have never used a range finder, could it be used as a telescope. Its all he had to see if his wife is cheating on him.

Maybe he was just trying to figure out how far he'd have to stumble back to his car if he went drinking at that bar.

Phew.... for a moment there I thought it might be another case of domestic terrorism.

 

[Denny347]

Yeah...it's called an immediate detention. I do about one or two a week it seems. Oh...and due to HIPA laws I doubt the details that led to him being IDed will be disclosed.

Exactly. The info probably won't be out for awhile.

 

[Josh Ward]

I'm screwed.

Between my truck and dog trailer I typically have a couple handguns, a shotgun, a rifle, a copy or 2 of a LTCH, & 2 (yeah 2) range finders ..... I must be plotting taking over the whole state....

 

[jason765]

The word "weapon" is kind of my new "clip". Nothing is a weapon until it's used in a malicious way. Now, using that same logic, I can smack the out of someone with a feather pillow, while my guns are locked in the safe. The pillow would be a weapon and the guns would still be a harmless, recreational and defensive tool. But try to explain that to the media. If you aren't in the military or on the offensive, their are no "weapons".

Can you be found sitting and watching people come and go from private property and when the police question you would you act like you're a bit off?

 

[japartridge]

It is the 5th floor FWIW. And there is more with to the story then what is being released. Trust me

damn I knew that... I'm sure there is more, I just don't like the way it was handled. Having legal firearms on your person, regardless what you are doing should not equal a 24 hour hold... now if you have legal firearms and you are going around saying you are the second son of God, then yes, that should get you a hold. I don't like the way the Herald times reports things without all the facts, and I also know first hand that BPD and MCSD are, for the large part, not very friendly to those of us who exercise our 2A rights.

I'm sure this guy probably does have some issues, but for the love of Christ can we not get all the facts before we start plastering all over the front page?! Furthermore, I would like the media to get back to the whole un-biased reporting of news, not demonizing tools because too many soccer moms get their panties in a bunch at the sight of a firearm!!!

...And there is more to the story then what is being released. Trust me

...Concerning the rest of the story, it will leak out. and I'll leave it at that for now.........

Do you guys really have secret insider info or are you just messing with us?

Relax man, its a joke, and a stab at the "so called" media today. We all now there is more to the story and whats being put out by the media is inaccurate at best...

 

[longbow]

I have a person in this case who I can ask. That person might speak in general terms or might just say can't talk about it.

 

[churchmouse]

You have to have a secret decoder ring and know the handshake....then we can tell you.............................

Exactly.
I really don't have a big problem with the police doing their job, which I am convinced is what happened here.
I have a REAL problem with the way the media handled it and all of the misrepresentation in that article,

 

[Movealongmovealong]

This guy just became suspect numero uno in the Lauren Spierer case. No doubt about it.

 

[churchmouse]

Everything is "Spin-Spin-Spin" towards an agenda.
40 guns is no real amount as I know many who own more. Splash the headlines and scare Mr. & Mrs. america into line with the rest of the sheeple. Pathetic but it is working. Look around.

Was he driving a white, extended cab, pickup?

 

[TTravis]

Now that's a pile of scary looking guns they found at his home. I bet there were some evil semi-automatics in there!

[Rookie]

It was sarcasm.
