Why so touchy there pipe?[8)]
Not touchy my friend and apologize if it comes across that way, just poiting out that everytime theres a post people twist it around, and all I was doing was relaying a funny incident. I respect your opinions as you should mine. My experience as a Officer does not give me more insight, again just passing on a story of a person who screwed up. Have a nice day [;)]

As you can see from your story it tends to correct itself.. You dont like the nature of reality? Tuff.
Stupid people get robbed and raped too, so maybe you should step back from your own personal experiences and remember that. They deserve the right to defend themselves...
And whatever you think about regulation being good for people you are wrong because reality isnt a theory.
What in the heck are you babbling about?? I never said people did not have the right to protect themselves, I merely stated my opinion that some people should not be allowed to have or handle firearms. This bone head shot himself, not once but twice!! Whats next, he shoots himself dead or he ends up shooting an innocent person because he is too brain dead to safely and properly own and handle a firearm?? If he shoots himself then hey no brains no headache, but if he shoots another person because of his idiot behavior then thats unacceptable, unless of course you think this bone heads right to have a firearm is more important than an innocent persons life? That my friend is reality and not a theory. Quit making this more of the "The police are here to take my guns", I was merely passing along an incident from work, some of the sht I see on a daily basis, stuff Im quite sure you dont[;)]
Sorry, didnt mean to go off half cocked, Its pretty much as the captian phrased it.
"the price we pay to live in a free society".
Thats a hard truth, it always has been.
I think you are right about his story, it sounds like BS to me too.. His old lady put one in him.
Usually a scumbag that age has a felony, that takes care of alot of them.
But even if he didnt have a gun, chances are she would have deflated him up with a butcher knife.

i know,i know,gun control,4th amend,etc.
i think the biggest support the anti gun lobby will have is the unqualified, unregulated, gun buying boom of the last 9 months and the accidents these new gun owners will cause.
Just to update you, the guy lived, they dug out the bullet, he's so damn fat it didnt hurt anything major inside of him. He's sticking to his story that the gun went off when he dropped it on the bed, and oh ya his girlfriend well she is being extradited back to California on a Probation Violation Warrant. I love a happy ending, and by the way I hope I didnt offend anyone with this update Lord knows I wouldnt want to do that[;)]

Fair enough pipe and understood.
As an aside, I gotta say that we sure do see some doozies in the course of doing what we do.

Sadly, I am mainly an admin pogue since promoting. I respond to major incidents frequently, but with the exception of jumping hot calls that I happen to be close to and the couple of monthly "retain-my-sanity" patrol days that I do, I don't regularly work the street any longer.

Obviously you didnt take the time to really read the post before you said the first thing that came to your mind[;)]You are the one who posted your random thoughts for everyone to see. You are the one who advocates taking someone's rights away because they are an "idiot". While I might tend to agree with you on the idiot part, and I wouldn't want to be around the guy when he had a gun, it is his right to own one. We don't revoke the driving privileges of people who have had 2 motor vehicle accidents do we?
In the 10 years since D.C. police adopted the Glock 9mm to combat the growing firepower of drug dealers, there have been more than 120 accidental discharges of the handgun. Police officers have killed at least one citizen they didn't intend to kill and have wounded at least nine citizens they didn't intend to wound. Nineteen officers have shot themselves or other officers accidentally. At least eight victims or surviving relatives have sued the District alleging injuries from accidental discharges.
I guess these idiots don't need guns either...right? After all they are TRAINED in the use of guns and still can't seem to handle them safely[:o)][;)]
