We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Maybe it was for his Christmas card this year? Skid looks like Santa. From a certain angle. Ho Ho Ho.
Time for a records request !
No questions need be asked..........if they already have the information/answers :uhoh:

Don't be such a Negative Nancy - I'm sure the license plate readers, security cameras, body cameras and dashcams in the cruisers were all turned off to protect the privacy of those poor downtrodden upper-middle-class liberals.
As I am sure that the exterior building cams and recording equipment was set on an extended pause.
Yep, I believe that. :lol:

I think is was previously stated that 4 folks came and discussed the issue with folks willing to buy but none did & they all went to the police.
The guys should have told the "sellers" that a donation was going to be made to planned parenthood who has recently shown approval of killing new BORN infants.
Standing out in the street doesn't make you look very good.
As i said, you should have just had signs "here to drop off your gun, no questions asked? You can hand them here w/o getting out of your car". Let them assume you're with the PD.
Legal ones.
Sorry but I didn't have time to take pictures. I think some other folks did.
stay safe.

seems like folks in that area just love to give their guns away. and the lawsuit needs more plaintiffs that actually have standing...I hope no one paid the lawyers who filed the original complaint.

I drove around to see some of the old neighborhoods/haunts/sights. I was very careful to look for those guns on the streets, as I did not want to ruin my tires or my front end alignment driving over them. I was extra cautious going through spots where blood was flowing on the streets - you know, shopping mall parking spaces and the like. Heck, I even checked the parks!
I never saw the first gun on the street.
Just where are the cops finding guns on the streets?

stay safe.
Once more, but this time with even more feeling and TWO cherrie on top - Please, sir, come and show us how to do things properly. We admit we are naught but rubes and bumpkins that can barely find our own backsides when using both hands, so your enlightenment and expert instruction is sorely needed.
We have mortgaged the ox and a dozen chickens which ought to be sufficient to pay to transport you, house you at the inn, and provide for meals during your stay.
We beseech you, oh wonderously knowledgeable one, to help us in this the time of our travail.
stay safe.

We need a new sub-forum. Maybe "Mr Nap takes potshots at posters he doesn't like forgetting this is a discussion forum"
It'd be better yet if the people I don't like went back under the bridges they came from.
I did Skid, but don't figure it's anyone's business what they are other than the people involved.
