As I kept trying to get through all the pages concerning Rich's illegal arrest, more pages just kept coming.
I would've read this and posted sooner. However, my full-time job has me on-call with Longhaul duty, so I sleep when I can and drive the rest of the time (been to Elizabeth, NJ and back and then Hagerstown, MD and back within a 24 hour period).
Rich, I'm sorry this had to be your first negative OC experience. Usually the first negative is a much "lighter" issue to deal with. Like others have said though, at least it couldn't have happened to a better person to deal with such issues.
I wish I could've been there, however, work schedule, as well as the financial situation (fuel prices vs. our family's budget), that many miles from my house isn't really a possibility. (Too bad I couldn't get a run to Binghamton that day or I would've stopped by - obviously unarmed though
).
I will make it a point to be at Gettysburg though.
All the ideas I could come up with to make sure these Dickson City officers are properly educated (along with the rest of this state) have already been expressed.
I also agree this should make its way to the larger media markets.
I'll be watching this closely to see what more transpires. Rich, you and your family have my full support on this. Best of luck to you and if there's anything I can do for you guys, please let me know.
+1 as well to OpenCarry.org for their Press Release.
