As the police experince the reality of more legal firearm carriers, they become more and more positive about armed citizens.

Leroy Brown was also from the south side and he learned he wasn’t as tough as he thought he was.

Police are TRAINED to shoot you if they are threatened, as it should be. Taxpayers pay a lot of money for their training. Lesson is, don’t even fake threatening the po po. That’s just stupid.

Quincy is lucky that he came across a responsible gun owner who was WILLING to show restraint...

My guess is Quincy will suffer lead poisoning soon enough...

[bobby.223]

Yeah and even with a ‘.32 gun in his pocket for fun and a razor in his shoe’.....he STILL wasn’t as tough as he thought he was!

Unfortunately painting the tip of the muzzle bright orange seems to be a growing trend among the thug class.

“The object, with laser displayed, was fixated on her boyfriend ...”

Who wrote this illiterate drivel?

The entire italic sections were filled with illiterate writing.

[Sasparilla]

Was this ahole looking for suicide by CCW?

[Balding_Eagle]

Yes, and eventually someone will wish the guy from TN had pulled the trigger too.

[marktwain]

The italic sections are directly from the police report.

Defenders: Criminals using orange tips on real guns

In cases like this its actually better to be a private citizen in Michigan because a citizen doesn't even have to see a gun to shoot someone breaking into their home. Entering an occupied space by force is good enough to prove a threat in most states. The burden is a little higher on the street but not a lot.

[ifinnegan]

Yes.

[Secret Agent Man]

suicide by armed white victim.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

I wouldn’t have been so restrained...

But We Should Demand That Toy Guns Be Painted Bright Colors?

[Travis McGee]

New criminal trick from story above: paint real guns orange to gain an edge.

[cripplecreek]

I personally want a real gun to look like a real gun.

[Travis McGee]

Me too. I just posted that to show that an orange muzzle (or all orange) doesn’t prove a gun is a toy.

[BBell]

Yeah, never mess with the Wife of a jealous man.

[basil]

Ping!
