DA:
Sure looks like you have a few folks to vote out of office! Wonder how difficult it would be to find a candidate and build an organization? There must be someone around who would be willing to take on the job. Sounds like your chief may do whatever he pleases or does he work at the direction of the mayor?

DA,
I just read your interesting post about wher eyou live and the curfews. I cannot believe that you have to go through all that ,e specially for your work, isn't there some type of arrangement that can be made so you can be "known" to have a reason to travel post crufew hours for your job?
From my earlier posts with you I have come to picture where you live and that it might be rural and the need to feel secure against the bad elements of crime, but to even be wary of LE and what they might put you through that's seems almost as bad.
MHS

I think every situation is different and you must ready to react correctly to protect your life and that of your families. Under most situations, I would say I would not reveal my weapon unless I am going to pull the trigger. The exception would be when a BG is trying to get in my house. I would draw on him and watch to see what he does. He is either going to also produce a weapon and die or run away. I honestly don't really think I would consider the legal aspect as my first consideration. It would be more of a question "do I need to do this to prevent harm to me or my family?".

Weo! D/A, that sounds like you are living in Budapest during the height of the Cold War, not a city in the good old U.S.A. I would consider moving if I had to put up with crap like that. Don't let it get to you in the mean time however that talk about suicide rates worries me.

This whole south of Atlanta thing that DA has had to suffer through for years makes me angry. It ticks me off that this kind of thing can go on in this country, but you know it is more common than not.
I have had some cop neighbors who have afforded homes that were possible with two salaries, but who have also driven a collection of vehicles that were not feasible with the salaries they would are paid, even with extra jobs.
They have also afforded many luxuries that many others can not such as lawn services, expensive lighting and holiday displays, alarm companies, the list goes on...
Kinda makes you hope there really is a Hell!

Are you saying Neighbor Cop got caught with his hand in the cookie jar? If so then he didn't have to wait for Hell and maybe there is some justice in this world.  |

That is all really sad that this kind of thing is going on in America today. I believe LE should be held to a higher standard. They are hired with taxpayer money to Protect and to Serve and if they are doing the same things or worse than the scum that they were hired to protect us against, they need to be dealt with HARSHLY. Not just given a bicycle and a parking ticket book. They need to be given an orange uniform and put in with the general population of the penitentiary.
These guys that are sticking their heads in car windows sniffing for alcohol or drugs are simply stupid. Getting that DUI or posession conviction is not worth the chance of getting your head blown off.

no offence DA because God knows that I feel for you and I wouldn't take that *crap* at all, I would just get out, but it's like me to run from a problem I guess. Kinda funny how this post went from when to pull the trigger (at bad guys) but it seems now that we have to distinguish who the bad guys are...Good luck man.

Read a book by Massad Ayoob. In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Defense Massad is a well written professional shooter, and this book tells you exactly what to be prepared for before and after you use your gun. He lets everyone know for damn sure that the situation is far from over when that criminal is down. He says that the law say you cannot pull the trigger unless there is eminent and unavoidable death in store. I think anyone carrying a gun for personal protection should read this, honestly.

The thread question seems to inquire WHEN. I feel that if you can articulate that your personal safety or that of another is in jeapardy, then, providing you are legally packing, pull and squeeze. An action will beat a reaction every time, so if the assailant has a drop on you but is not pumping rounds, if you fully decide to make a move, do so squeezing the trigger at the same time. Don't blow your nuts off doing so! I am not saying to become a policeman and take all of lifes matters in your own hands, just protect yourself and others. I have no problem with sane good people packing to protect. Now you don't kill some one for punching you in the nose. You have to be able to say that GREAT bodily harm was feared.
