I did take a peek at one portion of Mr Combs credentials. Having not found his name on the list of admitted attorneys in this state, I thought it was safe to assume he wasn't the counsel for the ..uh..victim...in this case. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just finish my drink and walk backwards to my horse before I get surrounded and the fighting breaks out |

May not be the fastest (2 weeks joke lol), but he does more than his fair share of steam rollin. I don't think there's been any major thing said or done that's gonna get you ganged up on or anything. Majority of folks are like me! Part of the "trying to wrap my head around it" gang. I encourage differing points of view/contention in a professional and concise discourse. it allows me to see sides and angles I may not have seen myself. Unfortunately that is normally the case though. But I'm trying to get smarter lol.
Back to you regularly scheduled illegally seized weapon banter

First, I agree that there is no need for hostility.
Without the history and institutional knowledge of some of the people here many posts cannot be properly interpreted. I think that the context was missing, ergo the confusion. Ayatollah, our efforts seem so be generally congruent with one significant difference: we do investigate, prepare, and fund strategic 2A and related litigation. (See, e.g., Farias). You are correct that I am not an attorney; to paraphrase a reply from Gene in a similar vein, I just manage them. I can see why you responded as you did, and I hope that my post wasn't taken to mean something other than what it was. We (by we, I mean CGF/SAF rep [me] and an attorney) are working with the subject of the incident and will update everyone as soon as we can. -Brandon

I wonder, if the victim was an attorney, what would the officers reaction be. I'm pretty sure, 99% sure, the officer would have checked to see if the weapon was loaded then promptly say "Here is your weapon, enjoy your evening, sorry for the inconvenience". This, after going through all the ramifications in his head of seizing a legally held weapon in a public place from an attorney. Its the little fish, the small things that need protection. If it means a PD gets spanked a little, has to apologize, and gets better training and awareness out of the deal, its well worth it.

Even knowing that what the PD did was most likely a violation, I do ask myself "what if", as in, what if this guy and his buddy did have some type of plan, we'll never know...even law abiding citizens have been known to "lose it" and then we get to hear the astonishing, unbelievable story on the news
What if this action did prevent a tragic incident, one we'll never know about, i mean, what better way to try and sift through a crowd, with a "prop" AR, some body armor and a great cover story i.e., being a SS agent or Halloween CIA agent, in full regalia, as a means to commit, what would become a very memorable and historic act of violence against an unknowing group, a large group, of people Unbelievable? Probably...Unimaginable? Probably...Impossible? Not in the least, not in todays world Won't excuse what they did, but, I have to wonder

we have post which are condemning this guy, for having the nerve to dress as he did, act as he did, with the possessions that he carried, AND THAT IS ALL!!! leave it to the imagination...my illustration was mainly an attempt to flip the circumstances and make a bad guy out of the good guy and a good guy out of the bad guy...happens all the time in the courtroom bottom line, if it ever gets there, a jury would be hung, mainly due to the fact that we have too many STUPID people, and they do end up as jurors, who can't understand a simple violation of a person rights...some people are blindly led by the belief that if the police take action against you, then, you MUST have done something wrong...except for the OJ trial, in which, by trying to send an exact OPPOSITE message, they let a murderer walk...go figure

I cannot think of one example of a shooting rampage that was prevented because the perpetrator was carrying a gun openly. People who are bent on mayhem and murder may be crazy, but not usually that stupid.

May I humbly point out that this isn't a courtroom, and we aren't judges, juries, counsellors, etc. While you are right that there is great utility in playing the Devil's Advocate, stating such in a forum such as this is usually good form. Otherwise, you are just trollin'. And we see you rollin' ;-) |
