So there I was...

[thompal]

Most of us are!

You should have put that in purple.

Let people figure that one out!

 

[thompal]

Very nice!

Next time you need to disarm him, put him in cuffs, and belittle him!

Hey, watch it! That's the gas station I frequent.

 

[j706]

Time: Approximately 1615 hours

Location: Speedway Gas Station, Thompson Rd & Emerson Rd

The Situation: White male walking out of the Speedway station towards his full sized white work van openly carrying a smallish pistol on his right hip.

My position: Fueling up my fully marked police car at the pump next to the white male's van.

Action Taken?

Nothing. I did nothing. I said nothing. I continued pumping my gas and minding my own business.


Do I get a cookie?

Heck I stopped a jacked up dodge 4wd diesel truck the other day for 26 over. He told me he had a weapon in his console. I asked if he had a permit. He said "yes sir I do..wanna see it". I told him no but thanks for telling me about it. Wrote a WW for speed and again thanked him for informing me. He was a nice guy.

 

[Mr. Habib]

But did he give you a cookie?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I note the absence of coffee.

Lesson learned: much like the T. Rex, IMPD vision is based on movement and coffee.

 

[hbarnett1]

We need a lot more LEOS that think the way you do.A++++++

 

[dross]

Rest assured that if you had chosen to slam him to the ground and administer a beatdown, several of your fellow LEOs here would be defending you.

Obviously, certain firearms related experiences become permanant captives in the dendrites and synapses, to forever recirculate. ..... Speaking from experience, I am.

How dare you Yoda Doctrine my snark.

Sooo your shift was over? Just kidding

I was off duty but it wouldn't have made a difference either way. I don't work in a patrol function so I rarely wear a uniform.

 

[jbombelli]

THAT is the way things should happen.

What if he was carrying a AK with a drum?

Hmm, someone with a holstered pistol walking out of a gas station doesn't seem strange or out of place to me. Someone walking out of a gas station with an AK, or any rifle for that matter, would seem a bit odd. Probably would have been paying pretty close attention to my surroundings at that point looking for anything to indicate that I had come upon a "situation".

 

[phylodog]

Aww, who am I kidding?

Walking out of a gas station with an AK would get a person some of this action right here:

Interesting.

That's exactly what I would do.

 

[grizman]

Yeah, and he'll shoot the guys dog in his sleep tonight.

OMG can't we let the dog live just this once? It is just a chihuahua cowering in the corner! Then again it could a rabies infested scout for a pit bull kill team hidden in the hall closet!!

Cookies sent via email. Did you get them?

Had myself an internet chow down, much appreciated!

We have light and dark sarcasm now?
