The Lair

That's interesting I always do the same and at home depot as well. Fishing knife, good idea. I like knifes lol

 

This was my first time doing one at night, and definitely my last. I was a little uneasy going into it because of that, and should've listened to my gut from the beginning.

 

yep, love knives and you never know when you need one. I buy the cheap carbon steel moras in bulk cuz i tend to lose them hunting, fishing or doing whatever.

 

home depot because there is always something after selling and having a wad of cash to walk into a home depot....

 

Did he have a weapon on? Badge could have been on his belt next to it. If you truely have doubts he was legit LEO, (and it sounds like you do based on your feelings you've described) it might be worth a phone call to your local LEO's to report it. Every once in a while you get a moron who thinks it is a good idea to imitate an officer and be up to no good. They take that very seriously and if nothing else, it tips them off that they might need to be watching for that in the area for a while.

I tell myself the exact same thing as I am loading and holstering my weapon every morning.

We roll in the black and tans here too, but there is no doubt when I am in uniform that I am an officer (even when just ii the office) I have a badge embroidered on the left chest of my shirt, police embroidered on both sleeves, and my hard badge and duty weapon clearly visible on my right hip with my shirt tucked in, and my cuffs and an extra mag on my left hip. And occasionally my credentials around my neck depending on the situation.

If I am in the field working the street, I have all that, plus a molle tactical carrier with my Kevlar inside and a radio and taser attached with another badge patch and "police" in reflective print on the front and back.

I go into this much detail because no LEO wears a uniform that would cause the public (Cody in this case) to identify them in public as LEO without a hard badge or credentials clearly visible as well along with a weapon. For their own safety and protection, especially given the current climate/tension regarding LEO's. The first they do if you are involved in a shooting is take a picture of how you are dressed to show whether or not it clearly visible that you are police. I won't even go into the grocery store with my kids in uniform on my way home from work anymore.

Something is fishy to me with Cody 's encounter.

If you wanted something even a bit smaller than the shield, you'd like the Glock 43. One of the smallest, most comfortable guns I have ever carried! I think we have talked about this before though. The shields are nice thought. I was eyeing the 2.0 in the latest sales ad for the local sporting goods store a few days ago.

 

He had a weapon but I was more focused on his body language and finding a badge, I made sure to check his belt but I didn't see a badge also his shirt didn't have a badge, I was mainly focused on where he was and what he was doing. He walked hunched forward with his head down and every cop I've ever seen walked with upright posture and head on a swivel

 

Hmm...yeah...something doesn't seem right about him. He should of had a hard badge either on his left chest or on his belt next to his weapon...

Any shoulder patches?

 

And his Facebook page only had a profile picture update this past month, nothing else, I'm gonna call it in tomorrow, I didn't get his plates but I know the truck he was driving

 

I'm definitely gonna need details on this tomorrow at work. And I'm coming next time. You ain't dying over my wheels and tires. Well, at least not alone anyway.

 

Excellente!

 

Numbers are always better. I always make sure to let my lady know the details too before going as well.

 

Good morning all

Good morning Lair!

Happy birthday @Lots2Learn58 !!

 

In Memphis to attend a training seminar. You guys stay safe out there trying to sell things, just had a 17 year old kid get killed trying to sell an iPhone.


on a lighter note, it's almost friday!!

 

Craigslist. So bad.

 

If it said certified payment, I know its a scam instantly. No one talks like that. Also if they lots of spelling mistakes

 

@EatSleepTacos I forwarded two more buyers to you, but they're on Tacomaworld so hopefully they aren't trolls

 

Ahhh, makes sense with CL. I forgot you were selling your tent as well!! And thanks again for forwarding other potential buyers to me.
