  1. While that is a fair assumption, we are all making assumptions on this persons behavior, the clerk, and the officer. Just because something is unlikely in your mind, or mine, does not mean it is unlikely in the mind of the clerk or the officer.

    How long was this person in the store? Was it long enough to make the clerk nervious, or feel that he wasn't just there to buy a drink? Again, without the call it's speculation as to why the officer was requested.

    Doesn't matter how long he was there. A person with criminal intent will walk into the store with weapon up and ready OR remove it from a concealed area. And when the cops show up a person with criminal intent will either run like hell, bitch up and drop the weapon or point it at the cop. Was he being douchey? Yes. Was he breaking the law? No. Was the cops infringing on his rights? Yes. Otherwise they wouldn't have dropped the charges.

  2. It seems both sides of this are putting the cart in front of the horse. Doesn't this really come down to what was the 911 caller saying? Then did that give the officer enough of a cause to assume a crime was about to happen?

    Until the 911 call gets released this is just a game of rhetoric. IMO.

    If the person calling and said there is a guy here with a gun and that was it, there doesn't seem to be enough reason for the police to ask the MWAG anything.

    If the person calling said there is a man with a gun who has been here twenty minutes and looks like he is casing the joint. That may be enough for the police to assume that a crime was about to happen.

    All are just...

    Usually people with a visible, holstered weapon are not "casing the joint" for criminal purposes. Kinda ruins the element of surprise.

  3. People with hammers usually intend to construct a building, people with ball bats are generally intent on winning a baseball game, people in cars are generally intent on getting home, people with guns are generally intent on mortally wounding.

    So you're generally generalizing? Way to prove your point there pocko!

  4. I used to cover my 3GS with an otterbox but when I got my 4s I said "no way". Why take a slim phone and turn it into a big, ugly hunk of plastic? I have a visor shield on the front of my 4s and clear, thin shield on sides and back. You can't tell there's anything at all on my iPhone! And guess what? I've dropped it MANY times and it's in one piece still. It's insured for a reason and it still fits in my pocket :)
