Monroe County Sheriff - I mean SERIOUSLY what is their problem?

[dc dalton]

So Tootie got a notice for jury duty this morning (we knew it was coming). While reading it I noticed at the bottom in big bold letters:

The following items are prohibited and will be confiscated and of course firearms are listed. Now granted I know firearms are prohibited but the way it was worded bothered me and since I had to go to 'the burg' anyways I decided to stop by the courthouse and ask the head of jury duty (she is a friend) if this meant they wouldn't allow her to use the lockers.

Well my friend wasn't there so they sent me over to the sheriffs office. I walked in and asked the lady at the desk if she would be able to use the lockers to check in her firearm when appearing for jury duty.

Within seconds both she and a deputy that appeared to my left said "If you know you are coming we recommend you leave the firearm at home" Well me being, hell, me I said "I don't give a rat's patooty (almost said ass) what you recommend, I am asking if she is going to be allowed to check in her firearm that day because there is no way she is coming down here without her weapon"

In comes deputy #2 who then states "If we have lockers available, if they are not all taken she can lock it up, if not she will be told to leave it in the car" (some of you know how well THAT comment went over with me). I started to say something and a 3rd deputy, that must have seen my face turning red at this point said "Don't sweat it, there will be lockers for her". I said my thanks and got out.

Now I am the LAST one to beat on an LE, they do a tough job at crappy pay rates and I respect that but what in the FUCK is wrong with Monroe county sheriffs? I mean do they take lessons in how to annoy law abiding citizens with misstatements and half truths?

I'm also not too thrilled about this jury duty letter ... because most people wouldn't take the time to find out and would take this letter as "oh no they are going to confiscate my gun"


Lastly this is time #2 those fucktards at the metal detector let me through after I checked in my weapon WITHOUT running me back through the detector ... I walked through, (after telling them I had a weapon to check in) set off the alarm, did the paper work, put my gun in the locker and then the security guy says "You have any other weapons?" I said no and they let me walk right in without ever checking ... THAT is going to bite them in the ass on of these days!

Well of course even if the lockers are full, as I understand it, they still must lock up your weapon if you ask them to... in the sheriff's desk, locked file cabinet, etc.

DC you live in Monroe County... no one would EVER have more then one weapon on them... DUH!




Just remember "I hate all (insert race or gender here) and think they don't deserve justice unless its found at the bad end of (insert implement of murder here)


No more jury duty

Our HUGE problem with Monroe county is the judges, we have been before almost ALL of them for civil suits (car accidents) and EVERY GD time they basically tell us "get out, figure out a settlement with the insurance company or else"

Hell we literally had Vicon tell us if we couldn't settle with the insurance company in 15 minutes he was going to rule against us .... literally. This was an accident that should have been a slam dunk (we got rear ended on 447) and Tootie had $20k in medical bills ... the insurance company was offering $10k and Vicon told us he was going to screw us royally... miserable freaking prick.

Just a slight hijaking here guys. I had it pointed out to me, cause I do it. And I wanted to point it out to you guys.

We don't carry WEAPONS. It is a firearm, pistol, tool, but it is not a weapon. The antis would love to hear us call our firearms that.

Don't make your firearm sound dangerous by calling it a weapon, cause it isn't. It is hard to get out of the habit, but it is a good habit to break.

OK, back on track. Sorry for the hijacking.



OK Ed.... Have I redeemed myself yet or what.

[Kaos]

I don't know about you guys, I carry a weapon.

That is what it is. No sense in giving the tool no less respect than it deserves.
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet and a firearm by any other name would still shoot bullets.

In police reports regarding temporariliy disarming something - they say weapon. When they ask you "are you carrying any weapons" do you say "no, just a gun"

It's just semantics, but playing into others' fears of words is a slippery slope.

This is the same county that decides that the UFA is not good enough for them by "requiring" references for the LTCF to be Monroe county residents, and calling the LTCF a CCW on the Sheriff's website.
