Wanna bet the intruder was an illegal alien?

With a name like LeShalacka Wacka Kunte Sharpton*, he could have been from anywhere...

*Okay, so I made the name up. Sue me.

I don’t think there’s a universal answer as to how various PD’s react, but have heard of some who would use the opportunity to take ALL of the homeowner’s firearms.

It’s hard to argue logic or legalisms with a house full of armed cops.

I can imagine arguing lack of a search warrant, but that’s not necessary at an active crime scene.

I can imagine refusing to answer, if asked about “other weapons”....and then getting arrested for interfering with an on-going investigation.

“Officer, you have the only weapon I used to legally defend myself.”

It’s called the tax payer relief shot :-)

I love these stories, just like most of us here at FR.

HOWEVER——can we please know the state where this happened??? Too many states have towns named MONROE-—including Wisconsin—where I was born.

Your last statement might work!

I think this is something I might want to ask my favorite sheriff!

Just thought of something...could you go directly to a shop and buy another?

A “lady” does not use such vulgar terms.

“could you go directly to a shop and buy another?”

Depends on timing and aggressiveness of PD.

You certainly don’t want to be on record as having been denied because you attempt to buy during an active investigation.

Personally, I’d bet on slow paperwork and try to buy right away.
Oh....and don’t bother sharing your sob story with the salesman.

Good. The right to self-defense is inherent in our nature. Government didn’t give it, and can’t take it away.

The left doesn’t want you to be able to defend yourself. It wants the “oppressed” one to waltz right in and take what is “rightfully “ his.

I naturally presumed Louisiana but apparently it is Washington and it is truly annoying to have no state listed.

Sorry, assumed everyone knew where Monroe was. It’s Washington. Yes, Washington.
