Here's a fun one: Can a FOIA request give me the name of someone who called and complained about me/my house/noise/trucks/parking/etc?

Got a visit from the (wo)man and I'm curious who/what prompted it.
Great question.. I will ask.

IMO... I do not think you should be entitled to know. You can easily retaliate on those that think you would never find out when they report you for a crime you committed.

I can see if there is a case against you and the person is needed to testify in court.

But for you to just find out for curiosity sake..... Does not seem right to me.

The two times I have had the law show up to my house for noise complaints I knew why, 1 some of my friends were target shooting on my range around 1030 am on a sunday, and a nearby church (1/2 mile away)was having troubles hearing the sermon,2I was playing my drums past 10 pm and a passing deputy heard them from the road(50 yards away), point is, both times the deputy indentified the nature of the complaint, and the actions were quickly halted.

10-4. She said noise was the complaint, but there was no noise standing in my own driveway, much less inside of a neighbor's house, that's why I'm curious who called. I'm not going to put flaming poop on their house, I'm going to ask them what I can do to avoid having any further trouble with them. I've never understood calling the law on someone when all you have to do is a simple "can you keep it down?" and if that doesn't work THEN call the law...

The cop also jammed her boot in my doorway and forced me to spend the entire duration of the talk pulling the door against her boot...which pissed me off, so I probably didn't respond as politely as I may have otherwise.

I have gone to MANY homes where one neighbor refused to simply talk to the offending neighbor. No reason not to. No prior hostility and bad feelings. They simply wanted me to do it for them.

So I do.... but only after a subtle admonishing for not doing it on their own as decent neighbors. :D

I recall we kicked that around on here a while back.

First.. it is rare to encounter someone with a permit AND actually packing a handgun.

Second... it is even more rare to disarm the first.

So... The odds of actually finding someone that is actually carrying TWO handguns and has a CC permit is not as good as playing the lottery and winning the jackpot!! :lol:

OK, OK... for me personally... the permit does not APPEAR to limit how many you could carry. I do not recall anything expressly stated in the code that says it is a violation to carry more than one handgun.

Disclaimer: This is not my interpretation on the code but is only an opinion. Please review it on your own or consult an attorney before you decide to carry two handguns concealed. Do not do it just because this internet guy says it may not be a violation. I too have opinions but unlike most other people I am always wrong. :shock:


:lol:

Y'see, this is why we need the OCDO Forum software to support signature blocks. That way, LEO could just put this in his signature and not have to worry about pasting it at the bottom of every post.

Um, Who cares what his opinion is ? After all he is wrong about 1/2 the time anyways.

Geesh....

I'm trying to figger out why someone who doesn't care about LEO 229's opinion would bother reading a thread to get LEO 229's opinion on things. I guess there's a nuance or two that escape my feeble mind.

I'll gladly answer that; I am twisted enough to enjoy watching someone talk out of both sides of his mouth. If you take the time to go through this thread you will see him doing EXACTLY that almost every time someone else takes issue with his initial utterance. (i.e. Often.)

Because of that one should never actually take as truth **anything** this guy comes up with.

So.... asking this guy a question is more for the fun of his answer than for anything sage being imparted. i.e. "Who cares ?"

It apears I have something in common with LEO besides also being a former LEO...)

I'm also "Always Wrong" (according to my wife). When I married her, I just KNEW I was marrying "Miss Right", but Iwish I had known then that her first name was ALWAYS! I didn't know it at the time, but rather than the traditional sharing of a last name, we shared a FIRST NAME: Always. Our last names differed however... Hers was RIGHT and I was WRONG.

:cuss:

Yeah, lying, corruption and the evil intent to get fellow gun enthusiasts to break the law so he and his friends in LE can arrest them. Sounds much more likely than LEO 229 simply being incorrect on a given point, or a difference in opinion, or a difference in interpretation, or prejudice on the part of the reader or... wait for it... anti-LEOs are actually... wrong.

Yeah, I think we should string him up and be done with LEO 229. He's only here to try and strip all of us of our rights, starting with those guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. Something that could only be accomplished on teh Intartub3s.

I'm grabbing my pitchfork now! Let's go get him! WHO'S WITH ME?!!!

If LEO 229 actually did not waffle about so much of the time he wouldn't be so easily characterized as 'talk(ing) out of both sides of his mouth'. But waffle he does **AND** with an attitude that he does NOT waffle.

(By "waffle" I means to speak to multiple sides of an issue during the course of a discussion.)

Anyways, I would never resort to stringing up a source of my amusement. So I suggest we just continue asking him questions and enjoying his responses for their comical whimsy.

I've been watching video clips this morning from the illegal confiscation of firearms that took place when Katrinavisited New Orleans. I was very distressed to hear about my fellow Coasties being involved in the blatant disregard of the Second Amendment. I was stationed in Texas a couple years before Katrina and most Coasties I know in the Gulf area are ALSO GUN OWNERS.

I retired less thana monthafter Katrina. Most of my friends didn't attend my retirement... They were in New Orleans helping with the cleanup and body recovery. (Not a glamorous part of the job. I really don't miss that part of it.)

We live in scary times, Folks. We live in a time when the government can declare martial law and TAKE your firearms just because of a common weather phenomonon (Did I spell that right?). The Constitution goes RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW!

WHO made the decision to take everyone's guns? Did anyone ever find out? what happened in the aftermath?

LEO? How did you feel about yourbrother and sisterLE folks violating the Constitution?

Tell me when and where to be.. I will turn myself in and you guys can sacrifice me.

Obviously.. I am here to provide misinformation and with evil intent. I am doing my best to entice members to commit crimes and hope the worst for them. But now that I think about it.. I have been going about it all wrong!! I should stop providing information so members cannot find the correct answers they are looking for so easily.

OBVIOUSLY... civilians know more about my line of work than I do. They study ALL the codes while I do not. :shock: So what am I doing here?? :lol:

As for speaking out of both sides of my mouth... I have no clue what that's about. Often enough, an anti-member will bait a question or twist what was said. Then exploit it to the fullest knowing full well that what they are posting is for biased and personal reasons.

The best part is taht any member can claim you said did or said something and other will believe it. Who is going to go back and read 7000 posts to prove it is true!!?? :uhoh:

Say it long enough and people will start to believe it.

Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!
Guns are evil!

Guns are evil!

Do you believe it yet?

Ah... we are talking about the firearm confiscation in LA again....

I am not happy about it. But I lack the knowledge to know if it was done under some legal process that could allow it to happen in an emergency.

Felons cannot have guns and this clearly is a violation of the second amendment, right? But somehow... it is a violation of law.

I would never do it. I would go door to door and say "You don't have any guns do you?! Because we would have to take them if you did."

I am pro 2nd amendment. I know what will happen if you take away guns.... it will be just like DC. They did it in 1976 and they still have people shooting other people. It did not change a thing except prevent good people from being able to fight off criminals.
