give the popo's in ohio a rest. They've only had CC for a couple years now.

That was awesome. Thanks for the video

It almost seems the police there wants the criminal to be successful even if the victim is armed. Of course even if the police were happy about this incident, they wouldn't be allowed to say so on camera.

ROFL, best Christmas present ever

Police statement, summarized: Curl up in a ball, pee on yourself and die like a sheep.

 

[Joe Williams]

Nice find, Hickman! And quick, cool thinking on the part of the citizen.

The police statement was shameful. Think the person giving that statement to the press would follow their own advice?

 

[rich8483]

something confuses me.

several times they refer to it as ccw or cc and the thing is right on his hip. am i missing something?

 

[redneckmedic]

That looked nothing like ATM, and why is he robbing folks? I though he was a GG, like one of us?!?

Ohio just brings out the worst in me.

I'll try to behave.

yeah that kind of advice from police is what keeps the criminals in a booming business. cops know if every good citizen carried a gun crime would go way down and they'd have budget cuts. rising crime is a good thing for police. its job security
i like how calm the guy was!! but come on man "almost didnt bring it with me" ??? WHAT???? either always carry it or not at all. might have been bad if he went for it and it wasnt there, especialy when the guy was already in his car. diggin the blackhawk serpa!!!! my favorite holster

 

[HandK]

If they want everyone to assume that the suspect is carrying a deadly weapon and it is loaded then it would suck to be a bad guy there, I will not put my fate in the hands of someone else, It is much safer in my hands!!

 

[1911fanatic]

magine that, police just wanting us to lie down and do whatever the bad guy wants just so they can waste tax payer money to investigate, and more than likely not catch the guy anyway, when we are perfectly capable of taking care of it ourselves.

Personally, I don't cut ANYBODY slack when they give advice like that. Regardless of what they do for a living.

talking about doing for a living ........do you think its by acident that the government and media call cops, and soldiers heros and glorify them for just doing their job?? nope, they do it now more than ever. who wants to shoot a "hero" when he comes to take your guns away or violate other fundamental rights?? exactly!!!!

as a vet, i have been called a hero many times by citizens with good and sincere intentions that were just trying to thank me and others. but I AM NO HERO for just doing my job. I DESPISE THAT WORD when its used on me, i didnt earn it, and i know many fellow vets and active duty soldiers do as well. If you wanna know A REAL HERO, then go to Arlington national Cemetary and stand at attention and salute TRUE HEROS! they lie before you, a silent Army that answered the call of their country to preserve freedom for posterity.

the truth is that the real heros arent the ones that will oppress you!! the real heros will answer the call of AMERICA and reufuse to violate the constitution this nation was founded on! A true hero stands up for what isnt always popular or PC, or maybe even best for them, but its right!!! to those police and soldiers, I SALUTE YOU as TRUE HEROS. to the posers who wanna play hero and violate people rights, or tell them not to deffend themselves and their families, i spit in your face.

Ranger, if those people are calling you a hero, I have a bit of free advice for you: Say "Thank you" and accept their sincere compliment for what it is.
It took me a long time to learn that. I go out and I do my job. Sometimes that means saving a life. More often, it doesn't, and at those times, I don't feel very heroic... but to those people to whom your arrival is the answer to a prayer, you've just become their hero. You're there to Make Their Problem Go Away.

You don't have to agree with them in your mind, and most of the time, I don't. I was just doing what I've accepted as my job, my career, my calling in life.

To them, that makes me a hero. Take what you can get, because the next guy's going to call you a whole bunch of words I can't type in to INGO.

Now... take my advice or not, up to you... but know that if they call you that, they mean it as a compliment... and it's awfully nice when someone remembers you seven years later when they see you in the aisle at Walmart. Had it happen last week. Too d**n cool.

Blessings,
Bill

Bill, i like you like ive said before. i will take your advice. its just hard to hear that word applied to me because honestly i feel like i failed people. i guess some things may come with more time

 

[Lilsoup]

Everyone be sure and hand over your cash, and valuables, to the bad guys, we wouldn't want to upset them. And don't pull your weapon, they might want it also.

 

[turnandshoot4]

I have to disagree with everyone that says the police want you to give in.

They say "Assume they have a gun." That justifies shooting to me.
