I will remember that. I will make it verbal if it ever happens in Ohio. I would bet it would not hold up in court though, there are reasons people can not speak and or times when one can not be heard, formal written notification would seem to be adequate in any event. However I was about to speak after I handed him the permit, I even hesitated when the officer said weapon. I was taught to always say firearm rather than gun or weapon.
I do remember however when I was living in Detroit it made the news the night the police surrounded a man crossing the highway at night behind a road block when told to put up his hands he reached into his pocket and died in a hail of bullets. When the police rolled him over to see what he had in his hand. He was holding a card that said he was a deaf mute (not an urban legend it made the morning news and papers).The police said they will never know if he was the man they were looking for, he matched the description (sort of, on a dark and stormy night).
Some how we have to work together to get a better reputation and let the police know that they work for us. This out of control government stuff needs to stop. Over half the population now works for the government that leaves 50% to pay the taxes that pay their wages and cover the interest on the national debt and 18% of them are out of work and over 46 million are on food stamps. This is really an amazing country when only 32% of the population can pay for all of that. Just imagine,really just imagine if we could only double the number of people that were working what we could do. No wonder the world envies us. We just let the wrong people manage us sorry guys we all share in this mess and the people that perpetuate it are down right evil bastards (just in case that seems unduly harsh or might be a violation of our language rules for this venue) I mean it in the biblical sense i.e. they are not our sons and should have no right to the future inheritance of this country. This country is a beautiful place because of its' rich mix of all races and freedom, there is nothing like it anywhere else in the whole world and we need to preserve it. We need to all step up and speak against evil people. What did the poet say a coward dies a thousand times and a brave man dies but once. If you think it is coincidence that the politicians are burning up the lives of our bravest and best in how many wars now?. Think again.
MFG!!! I hope both of the criminals with badges get fired, sued, and charged at state and federal level, at the very least.:angry:
