A Quara question and answers you might find interesting

Post by AlanM »

What happens if a person tells a police officer "I like your gun”?

Read through the answers. I especially found the one about a Boston area bowling alley 45 years ago amusing.

When I stayed overnight in Cleveland last month, I saw a CPD officer, supposedly providing security, with his nose in his computer and Smartphone, never looking up. I commented in a question to him, "Is that a Smith & Wesson?" He responded, "You're looking too close to my gun. Sir."

I quietly walked away since my wife was with me. I wanted to say,"Sorry officer, I come from a friendly part of the state where we help the police and the police help us and we sometimes train together and fire each other's firearms to be more familiar with different platforms. Since you're very young, I assumed you would have been issued the last firearms available and would be carrying a 20-30 year old firearm instead of the new firearm you trained with."

I also wanted to mention that if anything happened here in the hotel, he'd be the first to read about it on his computer, but that would've been calling him out too much. I did mention it in a review of the hotel online.

I used to talk guns all the time with the police officers who were in the ER for whatever reason. They never had a problem with me asking, and a couple of them gave me very good advice about a couple of situations.
