2:40 AM Knock and my 870

[Silent Service 7]

Thanks for the AAR on your night. Glad all worked out in the end.

 

One thing I caught reading your story is you didn't mention any outside flood light that yopu could have put on to either scare away or better spot light a possible intruder.

 

You might want to add one or two to yoru place to spot ligh tyoru front door adn driveway and maybe even have one pointed towards yoru Sister in-laws house as well just incase.

 

Also maybe look into one of those after market security video system for your home as well.

 

Thats exactly what my brother said.

I'm gonna talk to my electrician buddy and get some of those super bright halogens that give you a sunburn. Maybe hook up a siren like they had at the concentration camps too !

What Bill thought he picked up at the bar.

 

 

What Bill woke up with.

There might be few he might like on Van Buren..

Yeah - I highly recommend you invest in a biometric safe.

 

One fault with that. It needs a clean "read" from what I understand.

 

Worse case scenario, you've already got blood on your hands (literally) and the safe doesn't read your finger swipe. Time wasted trying to get it open.

 

Get the finger slots, with push buttons. Allows you to program any number of finger strikes to pop it open with slim margin of error.

"I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN!!!"

 

Come on Bill, not again...

Yup, pump action one hand and light in the other. 3 steps after I got the gun out of the safe I'm wishing i had a pimped out tactical SG.

Big pile of fail, lol, nicely put.

 

no need to get excessive just do what works..

 

if I still had my pump I would save my lunch money and get the surefire pump with the built in light..

 

they are crazy expensive.. but solid.. no wires to get hung up on.. and surefire makes good stuff..

My guard dropped for a split second when I saw that it was a female and she said she was Bills girlfriend, but I quickly thought that could be a ploy .

 

Screw that. My first thought would be domestic dispute.

I'm replying late but imo the only reason y u don't "have one in the chamber" is so that when it's time to "have one in the chamber", the invading party can hear that beautiful *click clack*. Also blue line fish stated that the us vs them thing needs to stop then clearly said that EVERYONE is a threat until the situation is resolved... contradictory much??????????

[Malsua 1,422]

the invading party can hear that beautiful *click clack*.

 

The only sound I want them to hear is the blood dripping from the wounds, the rushing in their ears as their blood pressure drops and the howling of the demons that are coming to drag their black soul to hell.

I am really getting sick of the us vs them. It seems that this is the first response to anything associated with cops. It's a matter of safety. Everybody is a threat until the situation is over.

 

Although I can understand the reasoning for this, I don't know that I completely agree with this mentality, and the words, actions, and tone of the peace officer may or may not have been adhering to a higher standard.

 

As I said, previously, it is a very good thing that we can call on our uniformed citizens when we need them.

[vladtepes 1,060]

the reason everyone is treated like a threat until the issues is diffused is because you have NO idea who is who and what is what.. I am not LEO and I have the same thought process.... "oh its a women I hope she is ok.." you lower the gun to approach her.. when out of the bushes comes a baseball bat to the face... all people are capable of criminal activity.. and until you are %100 sure they are not a threat.. then I just assume %100 that they ARE a threat.. so that I would be prepared for the worst..

And that is OK, as long as its within the law. You have to admit, though, part of being a police officer is showing good customer service/bedside manner. In my interactions, I would say its roughly 60-40 with the 60 being good to acceptable customer service. Anyway, this is NOT what this threads about and I shouldn't have brought it up. And, I can attribute abruptness, etc. by a peace officer as being a reaction during a stressful situation. I just wish the law would also take that into consideration more often with private citizens.

 

Silent Service, one of my neighbor's homes is up for sale, in case you want to leave Bill behind.

Domestics are the most dangeous calls. The victim easily becomes the aggressor once they realized the one they love is getting arrested because of them.
