Ok guys. This no scenario. Monday night, about 9:30pm, I look out and see an officer in my back yard. I open the door and ask if I could help him? He was not looking at the door as he was walking by it. I startled him and he said he had a warrent for my 31 yr old son. I told him I threw him out about 2 months ago and since then he had burgled our home and I believe some others in the neighborhood. Now I think I had better tell him I am armed so as to comply with Ohio's laws. I do and two other officers pop up one with his hand on his weapon.
I explained that if I hear from him or see him I will call and all ended well that night.
Fast forward 2 am Thursday and I hear a loud thump and my wife scream downstairs. I grab my HK 45 and don't even take time to put on my pants like I would if I just heard a noise. I run down the stairs and my wife says she sees someone on the front porch. I turn on the lite and there is and officer, same dept., not one of the ones from the other nite. I opened the door and said "I am armed." When another officer comes out from behind cover of my work truck and stands to the side of the porch. I ask what this is about and the first officer says they found my son's wallet in Akron and just wanted to let him know where to pick it up.
Now that is a bad lie and I know they are just looking to see if he is there. Again I explain the situation to them and he says I should not answer the door with a gun when someone is just knocking. I said I am armed at all times for the defense of my loved ones and myself and even home invaders knock just to get someone to open the door.
The next morning I called the department and spoke to the captain to tell him about my situation and that I will call if I hear from him. I tell him what the young officer told me about the "wallet" and he says that sounds pretty lame to him and they probably had a "tip" that he was there. I told him I did not believe that for a moment. I told him about answering with gun in hand and he said he would have done the same thing, but that it was good that I informed immediately upon opening the door.
A few hours later I get a call from a close friend telling me that Akron picked my son up at 6 am that morning in a stolen van with a bunch of stolen property from various homes in that neighborhood. I was truly relieved that he was finally off the streets.
As promised, I called the captain and said you probably already know he has been picked up, he says no they did not know, but they would send an officer to Akron to make sure he did not get through the cracks and maybe bail out...guys keep us in your prayers and hope that this is the first day of the rest of my kids life....

leasantry: and he is still in there going on about a month now. i feel he needs this and hopefully it will give him some meaning and purpose to get his life in order. its hard but sometimes you have to step back and let people see for themselves.
