I would also inquire if OCB had video surveillances and get copy's ASAP.

I don't know if they had a camera at the exit or outside....the only one I saw was above the register when we came in. I will have to find out.

I know it can be hard to stand up against this type of abuse when alone, but IMO it would be easier in a group setting like this, especially when with someone who is as knowledgeable as Rich. I won't say "If I had been there.....", but I've damn sure thought about it.

I would like to be able to say that I could have been strong enough to deny them my license but I ran it through my head...I was there with my 7 year old daughter and I thought that if I just showed them who I was and that I was doing nothing wrong, things would go smooth and be over with.

I was wrong.

It was a tough situation all the way around. However, when push came to shove, I can say that I did not back down to these people despite the made up laws and ignorance of actual laws that they were flinging at me.

There was stuff that they said and did to me that I will not discuss in an open forum at this point but my rights were violated. They hammered Mr. Patriot and then they wanted something from me. I did nothing wrong and they knew it.

Thank you. Unfortunately, you guys got to see the "firecracker" Mrs. PA. lol I'm really not that mean. lol I would love to see everyone again soon, so that maybe we can eat and talk.....to each other. lol

Maybe we will have to try for a picnic somewhere up here now that the weather is warmer.

You also handled yourself excellent. I was outside with the officer when they brought you out. After it processed what they were doing, I was just shocked that they were going to keep going. ugh At any rate, I was going to write you and tell you that I think you did a great job....I ran outta steam last night. lol
