Not all Law Enforcement officers feel the same way as K40. There are those in the profession who are ardent defenders of the Constitution.

Not flaming you---I just felt compelled to point that out.

True- and plenty of them on these boards. Our brothers who understand that it's not about arms, it's about freedom

To which I replied... PUNCH IN THE FACE

Sorry, sorry. laughing at your sig line

Are LEO's required to take any type of refresher course on law and that sort of thing, or is it just once they get their badge, that's all the further educated they get?

IT's a good'un. It makes humor effortlessly when paired with any random post!

Exactly.

Which reminds me---I love your sig line. Tolkien is my all-time favorite.

They don't get nearly the education in the laws they should get.

So being a "social retard" now gives police the authority to remove your rights? A lot of us may be in big trouble, myself included. I better go find my sheep costume, and Indymonkey...you might wanna stop talking about midgets for a while!

Ok wait.

1 guy wearing a purse, another guy who had a MP5 wearing gear of the TAD, another guy who has a cartoon of Luigi and the Princess naked in bed toghether...

And we are making the "We arent social retards!" defense? /boggle

just jerking your chains guys. you know I love ya.

A friend of mine heard about this "incident", he is a older guy and a gun owner-concealed carrier, and his comment to me was "You know what we used to call carrying rifles in an urban area? Acting stupid and asking for trouble".

I tried to preach the OC gospel to him, but it was falling on deaf ears.

The OC education is a rough road, its not just the police that need convincing. Its other gun owners.

That guy seemed pissed when ATFC would not obey his order to disarm after LTCH was produced.

I've never seen a cop yet that didn't act like he just sat on a tack the instant any dissent appears in his view. They can rant all they want but don't dare be vocal in your own disagreement.

It's like that a lot when people have a position of authority. It's not just the police. Just let any regular, not geographicly specific, monkey get his hands on a big hammer and suddenly he's king.

This is most true in those that are most wrong.

Guys, I want to reflect back to one of the purposes of this event, which was supposed to be an education of the masses. Now, in this effort, please tell me how anyone was educated? The only thing I see that happened was a law-abiding citizen handcuffed and illegally detained, while another had his firearm illegally confiscated. Although those are the facts, all those secretaries, office workers, and even the couple at the cookie store probably saw was a bunch of 'crazy' people carrying guns and IMPD doing a great job of protecting their safety. I'm glad the media was not there. I could only imagine what they would report.

I understand the to-each-his-own factor, and that protest takes on many different faces. I just don't see the lesson conveyed in this, but I'm open to learn if I'm missing something.

A lot of people learned just how easily that can happen and just how little they can do about it.

They could have just as easily spent the next few weeks in jail with out bond or trial, interrogated off and on, only for the charges to be dropped if they were ever charged and then released. Happens all the time in Martin county.

 

[IndyMonkey]

Ok wait.

another guy who had a MP5 wearing gear of the TAD,

I prefer to be called an operator.

I wasnt going to do anything but stand there like a beotch and take it.

Wednesday might be different as I have time on my hand and might end up at the chiefs office.

Not too far from a police state in some regard.

You could have told the LEO who handcuffed you that HE wanted a lawyer. When he asks why, response could have been "for my suit against you".

Probably not the wisest thing to say to someone who has you in cuffs with 4 buddies standing there...





Trying to learn the humor that's used here, forgive me.

Only my INGO friends on here know THAT... and once you meet me (and if you are lucky enough to meet my wife) the avatar makes a LOT more sense!

The officer that cuffed him used the "well I know I'm going home tonight! Do YOU?" line..
