exhibition or use of a deadly weapon

[MichaelHarris]

"Portland Police Capt. Todd Wyatt was placed on paid leave today after Idaho officials informed the bureau that Wyatt is being charged with exhibition or use of a deadly weapon stemming from an alleged off-duty road rage case this summer. On Aug. 13, Wyatt is accused of pointing a pistol at another motorist while driving westbound on I-90, near milepost 6 in Post Falls, Idaho.

Keep um handy, you never know when you'll need to shoot someone who changed lanes in front of you.

[msongs]

1. yet another attack on the rights of gun owners doing things not prohibited by 2A nt

[beevul]

5. Let me fix that for you.

Yet another example of someone doing things not protected by 2A, AND someone pretending otherwise.

9. non impediti ratione cogitationis

You may as well get the T-shirt. Let everyone know you are unencumbered by rational thought.

13. Is Car Talk still on the air?

[one-eyed fat man]

and they still sell the T-shirt in the shameless commerce division of Car Talk Plaza!

If you think the message might be lost on muggers who failed Latin, this one is clearer.

19. I like those.

11. Had you read the article...

it had nothing to do with a gun owner misbehaving, but rather a government employee misbehaving. Two VERY different things.

This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.

2. So lets take the guns away from Police Captains....

Another one of Sara Brady's "only ones" misbehaving again..

[Starboard Tack]

25. Excellent idea

[gejohnston]

3. One problem

"Portland Police Capt. Todd Wyatt was placed on paid leave today after Idaho officials informed the bureau that Wyatt is being charged with exhibition or use of a deadly weapon stemming from an alleged off-duty road rage case this summer.

4. LOL another "Epic Fail" from the OP... nt

[MichaelHarris]

15. awww yes

you once again prove logic is not your friend. Let me explain it for the Hoope's #9 abusers. See, he had a gun nearby, it doesn't matter what his job is. In fact it shows someone more trained than you can snap. Simple explanation for you, I know you need special treatment, handy gun, escalated situation. Diagrams upon request. The ignorance in this forum sometimes is mind-boggling.

[gejohnston]

16. cops are not always

more trained. This has nothing to do with marksmanship or safety training. Has more to do with state of mind and maybe thinking he was above the law because he is a cop.

17. "The ignorance in this forum sometimes is mind-boggling."

Like, for instance, a person who refers to Hoppe's #9 as Hoope's #9?

Couldn't agree more!!

:rofl:

[Callisto32]

24. Your post...

contains an unsubstantiated assumption.

Ignorance, eh? Pot, meet kettle.

[Kennah]

6. 5 day waiting period on promotion to Captain should help

:sarcasm:

[LAGC]

7. "Only police should have guns."

That would solve the problem.

:crazy:

[Callisto32]

8. You do know that posting storys of "only ones" behaving badly HARMS your position, don't you? nt

[ileus]

10. Another reason I never roam alone....better to have and not need, than need and not have.

12. "Never aim at something you are ready to shoot."

That's one of the first rules they taught us in the Police Academy. I have drawn my weapon on duty before and would have been good to go on the subsequent shooting if it came down to that, thankfully it never has.

Pointing a gun at someone in traffic would be a huge issue both legally and within the department. I'm pretty sure such behavior is strictly forbidden according to the Ohio Revised Code.

21. Ummm, check your wording? 8>) n/t

22. You've never seen me shoot, have you?
