FYI- WKRP was a TV show, the Cincinnati radio station was and is WKRC (AM). I think the naming of the TV show was just acoincidence, but maybe not.

While watching the news that night theyreported the Manager called the police.



The Manager told them "There were men openly carrying weapons and it was making the other customers uncomfortable"

But you know how the news is.

We asked the borough council to post to their internet the full audio of all calls to the police - these are public records.

I'm just wondering, was it really the manager that called? On the PA site I thought I read that the manager on duty was a female, and had no problems until the police showed up.

That's why I posted this.


In the Facts at the beginng of this thread it say's a customer called the police.

On the News they said it was the Manager who called, they played the actual call and it was a man's voice.

The truth should come out soon enough.

Some of the comments are disturbing and a good explanation of why we have so many infringements on our constitutional rights.

I concur. The especially disturbing ones are the "militant pacifists", as I call them. They're so against guns and violence, they probablywant to bomb an NRA convention.

I have learned a good lesson throughout all this...

Namely that I am a bad person for standing up for my Fourth Ammendment rights int he eyes of many "gun owners"

It's amazing how many "allies" think that "I got what I deserved" because I didn't provide ID when not obligated to.
Amazing also to see that they ignore that the others that DID comply with the ID "request" (after seeing what happens to those who resist) also got illegally detained, illegally searched and one had his gun illegally confiscated.

I've been wondering where the anti's have been during all this... now I realize they have decided to sit back and let the "gun people" do their work for them.

No wonder we never get anywhere in regards to gun rights. Gun people will fight it tooth and nail.

There's a fatass cop in Junction City, Ks. that was trying to overstep and hassle me once. I thought he was gonna have a stroke when I refused to answer his questions, or provide him info on the company that I worked for. His fellow officers were rolling their eyes, just waiting for him to shut up and quit being an embarrassment.

He wanted to know where I worked so he could call them and tell them lies, since he couldn't come up with a big enough lie to jail me. He kept repeating, "As a LEO, I have the RIGHT to ask you these questions." To which I replied, "Yes, and I have the right to not say anything. Read your Miranda card."

That guy was a complete horse's ass.

Being from Chicago, I have very low expectations of the police. One that I won't compromise is for them to obey the law. If they can't do that, they're worse than useless, going from placebo to poison.

Stupid people say stupid things. The proper response (which you have implemented) is to point out the stupidity of what they say and let them discredit themselves.

I wish you all the luck in the world, bearing in mind that people make their own luck by judicious thought and action. My only advice to you is not to settle, and if you do, to refuse ANY terms that impose ANY limits on what you can say about the case. They've already violated your 4th Amendment rights. Don't let them violate your 1st Amendment rights too.

It's interesting that somehow in this country we've ended up with a situation where the vast majority of law-abiding gun owners are also submissive to authority, and extremely "patriotic" -- where "patriotic" is defined as "agreeing with whatever your government says". I have a rather different definition myself.
