Shooting...The one you didn't hear about.

I believe this was starting to go the wrong way, so I'm removing the original before something gets started that shouldn't. I apologize if I was out of line, but I didn't feel like I was at the time.

Would you want to expose yourself at an attempt to "return fire"? Those of us who live out in the country (and have some common sense and maybe some prior LE experience) have come to the realization that law enforcement does not exist in our area outside of the random patrol. I see a county deputy maybe about once per week drive down my road, that's about it. They are short staffed and I know that. The few times I've had problems out there, thankfully I spoke with a deputy who knew me and he said something along the lines of "Hey, you know what to do, just handle it. If you get in a real jam or something, call us back but, it'll be 20-30 min before we can get there, as always."

I do however posses the capability to "return fire" though if the situation warranted that kind of response. I've got a funny feeling that you don't though Greg. It's better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. But....it's just a feeling I gathered from your post. I could very well be wrong.

Hey trainwreck, I don't think that this really falls under the scope of this forum. This is for relating information based on radio, scanning, and the like. This is not a forum to further a political agenda or to whistle blow on the police policies/procedures unless they would relate to the radio or monitoring thereof.
If this did relate to radio in some way then I would not be saying this.

I live on a dead end road, and I never see a law enforcement unit unless they have a call. It's just part of living away from the cities.

I am fully capable of defending my home of needed, but while under heavy fire is not the best time

I was about to say... what the hell does this have to do with scanning or radios?

Political agenda debate forums that way --->

It was a "trainwreck" of a thread ( ), but could have been appropriate for the Tavern...bring your post back and ask the moderators to move it to the Tavern!
