CCW owners come inside

Ended up in the middle of a gun fight last night while watching the guys on my softball team play their men's league. I'm assuming it was the local kurdish gangs going at it but about 15-20 shots of 9mm were fired from the parking lot about 100 yards away and we all ended up face down in the dirt. Scary. I am FURIOUS at the Nashville PD's response. Took 6 mins to even get someone on the phone at 911, a young cop was sent out and he just smiled and laughed when I told him what happened. He didn't even look to see if anyone was injured in the area, just got back in his car to write some notes. A suspecious car then came in the parking lot and the cop directed him to leave. It was one of the same damn cars that was there during the shooting and he didn't even question him.

I have lost faith that cops are ANYTHING other then note takers and clean up crew with a fancy badge and gun. I will be carrying mine everywhere from now on.

No, unfortunately, they're much more than that. They're the force that actively carries out laws meant to oppress normal people that are not out to kill or harm anyone else. They are tax collectors with guns and power. Hell, I wish they were just note takers and realized as much.

PS, I'm not trying to stalk you around the internets or anything.

I just like how when I got pulled over on the bike a few weekends ago, the cop comes flying up, lights and sirens blazing, and takes it super serious (well I was about to open my wallet and let my money fall out into his jurisdiction, of course it was serious business). Yet when 40 people are upset and face down in the dirt cause bullets are flying the take their sweet ass time and don't even seem to care. I really should have gotten that guys badge number.

When you got pulled over there was an opportunity for the city or state to make money, yes, they take that very very seriously.

When they responded to a bunch of gangbangers shooting in the air or whatever, there is no opportunity to make money, so they didn't care.

You should've told the cops there were gangbangers growing pot or something and that there were lots of nice cars ripe to be confiscated. They would've sent the whole state....maybe even the National Guard!

not to mention the fact that it's pretty safe to say that after running your plate number he knew you were not a threat to him. ah, good time to act like a bad ass is right after you figure out it's a safe place to do that.
I've been saying here for years that all the little "i'm a bad ass cowboy" cops should be required to serve at least two weeks per year in the inner city in order to keep their badge.
get stopped by a cop near where I work and it goes like this. "do you have a license?" (yes) "reason I stopped you was....." (ok) "slow the hell down will you?" (yes sir)
I have been stopped here a few times and it almost always goes that way. they have better things to do then play traffic cop. they'll tell you to slow down but they're not writing paperwork.

Only when practicing doing so at the range.
