Good gloves don't have seams on the inside. Rule #1. Spend the money and buy good gear. In the long run, it'll be cheaper because it lasts longer, and you'll be happier.

My apology, I was incorrect. The Colt M4 is what was carried.

Those particular Marines? No. They are not armed. For lack of a better word, and being a former Marine myself... no disrespect is meant...those particular Marines are ornamental. Now, the Secret Service that's surrounding everything...that you don't see in the pictures, yes, they are armed. Heavily. I have a good friend that is a SS agent, he told me about working the parade after the president was elected. If you watched it, all SS agents wore the same black trench coats. Underneath those coats were mini 14s slung over their backs, and each agent carried three spare mags.

Our forefathers would have already started shooting...........

I told you why a few months ago...either by text or on the phone, I can't remember now, and I even asked you to look into "it" to see if you wanted to join. For my own safety, I can't say what is it publicly. No offense, you're still my friend, but from the way you sound in your beliefs, I don't think "it" would suit you. No worries, we're all free Americans that have the right to do as we please...for now.

Pokey, The video you posted, the one from your brotha from anotha mutha...he is completely correct from 3:40 to 3:49...but completely WRONG from 3:50 on. Called in and made a complaint against what? Open carrying? A lawful activity? Negative. Not a reason for suspicion/detainment/questioning.

Ouch!

800-686-1526 Ohio Department of Insurance. Call and speak to someone there and explain your situation. Good luck, brother!!

What I'm asking is, when you changed coverage, wasn't the insurance company aware there was a lienholder? It's a standard question that always gets asked. If you said yes, you are required by law in Ohio to carry full coverage. It's not an option not to have. The insurance company cannot sell you less coverage knowing there is a lien on the bike. Somewhere, someone fucked up.

How did you buy a bike with a loan on it without the proper coverage in the first place? Didn't the lender require the insurance information? Something doesn't sound right.

1:45 in the video explains everything. Ignorant cop. I hope Mr. Call gets the money he's seeking, and I hope the cop loses his job. I pretty much called it, didn't I Pokey.

Yes, I extract it myself. No shame in extracting unicorn sperm...you'd know this if you'd ever done it. I sell it too. $1000 for an ounce, but your chain will last forever. It actually brings old chains back to life. It'll make your sprockets like new too. Wanna buy some?

Unicorn sperm. Cleans and lubes at the same time. All I've ever used, and never had a problem with it.

I'll PayPal $5 to see some good video action!!

Need a smoke? I'll loan you one. Glad you're pretty much ok!

I'll agree we don't know about how it all truly went down...the rest, I don't agree with, Pokey. The CHL didn't save him from shit. There are ways to legally transport a pistol in a vehicle without a CHL, and it's completely legal to holster up once outside the vehicle. The thing that pisses me off(and should piss you off too), It's not about cooperation, it's not about having a bug up your ass about police, it's about your rights...and that's it. You have the legal right to openly carry a firearm, same as you have the legal right to walk down the street. Yes, you have a responsibility when you carry a gun...to be responsible with it, and to follow the law. Same as walking...you don't walk across I270...you've got to be responsible. We don't live in China, or North Korea. The police do not have the authority to detain you unless they have a valid reason. Having a pistol on your hip, that you're carrying responsibly, does not validate a reason. I don't give a fuck who it upsets, pisses off, or scares. If you can't agree with that, please give all your guns and ammo to the nearest police station, turn in your man card, stop posting on OR, and get the fuck out of the country...because you're part of the problem. Cliff Notes: America is not a "Police State". Citizens have rights. If it doesn't piss you off when those rights are blatantly and unlawfully taken away, please leave the country. North Korea would love to have you in their army.

Pokey, how did his CHL save his ass??? I'm very surprised you feel this way about this situation. I never imagined you to be the "lay down submissive virgin pussy" type, with all due respect and shit.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm getting at, or you're just playing dumb... If you call 911 with a bogus call, YOU'RE the one the police are coming to see...not to check out the situation. Same thing as calling 911 because your McDonalds french fries are cold. The police aren't going to investigate McDonalds, they're going to investigate YOU. If you can't comprehend that, you're dumber than you're trying to act by beating around the questions I'm asking. Reporting a man with a gun on his hip to 911 is not an emergency on any level. It's not a priority either. Anyone who thinks it is should not be in law enforcement, or have a job as a 911 dispatcher. The world is truly full of idiots! I give up...

Not specified which isle...

Pretty broad range, lol...but OK. Hypothetical situation #2. You call 911 and report a woman pushing a baby stroller in your convenience store. What level of priority and emergency is that?

After you answer the above question, I'll ask another.

OK, fair enough, I'll play along... Hypothetically situation #1. You call into 911, and state a man is in your convenience store, and that he is carrying a pistol on his hip. What level of priority and emergency is that?

Judging from his comments on the topic, I find that very easy to believe. If he keeps his job in any type of law enforcement position, it truly is a shame.

Furthermore, I'll follow up with this: If someone calls 911 to report a person open carrying a firearm, I would hope the 911 operator would have enough training to realize this is NOT an emergency UNLESS further information was given(meaning the person carrying was doing something else to constitute committing a crime). Now, if the second was the case with this incident, I highly doubt the police officers would have just strolled up to the open carrying individual and started asking questions...most likely, the officers would have come in guns drawn, sweeping the place, as if a crime was currently being committed. Because things DIDN'T happen the second way, we are led to believe that it was a basic 911 call stating a guy has a gun on his hip, and yes...that should have been deemed NOT an emergency(or crime) by the 911 operator. Don't try to read more into this than what it is. It's very simple, cut, and dry.

I should have clarified, my disagreeing was based on your "lack of training" comment. For Columbus 911, it's 6 weeks classroom, 8 - 12 weeks on the job training, and a one year probation period. To me, that sounds like quite a bit of training. Now, to your comment as the whether they should determine if something is a crime or not, please read this(especially the part that says IMPORTANT): In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately from any wired or wireless phone. An emergency is any situation that requires immediate assistance from the police, fire department or ambulance. Examples include: A fire A crime, especially if in progress A car crash, especially if someone is injured A medical emergency, such as someone who is unconscious, gasping for air or not breathing, experiencing an allergic reaction, having chest pain, having uncontrollable bleeding, or any other symptoms that require immediate medical attention Important: If you’re not sure whether the situation is a true emergency, officials recommend calling 911 and letting the call-taker determine whether you need emergency help. When you call 911, be prepared to answer the call-taker’s questions, which may include: The location of the emergency, including the street address The phone number you are calling from The nature of the emergency Details about the emergency, such as a physical description of a person who may have committed a crime, a description of any fire that may be burning, or a description of injuries or symptoms being experienced by a person having a medical emergency Remember, the call-taker’s questions are important to get the right kind of help to you quickly. Be prepared to follow any instructions the call-taker gives you. Many 911 centers can tell you exactly what to do to help in an emergency until help arrives, such as providing step-by-step instructions to aid someone who is choking or needs first aid or CPR. Finally, do not hang up until the call-taker instructs you to. If you dial 911 by mistake, or if a child in your home dials 911 when no emergency exists, do not hang up—that could make 911 officials think that an emergency exists, and possibly send responders to your location. Instead, simply explain to the call-taker what happened.
