And then again, maybe not. Did he have a handicap plate or mirror tag? If not he needs to be told he's illegal. In my state, that is a hefty fine whether you're handicapped or not. If you're handicapped, take the time to get the permit and make sure you're the only one that uses it. My wife is handicapped and I'm so sick of seeing teenage girls come running out to their cars with the handicap tag around the mirror, rip it off, or not,
and take off like a bat out of hell. And I say something to everyone that isn't legal that I see. If I don't see them, I call the police. At times, I'll call them with a plate number if the above has convinced me they are not handicapped in any way. Many of the younger people are using their grandparents tags or have stolen them, another problem in this state. I've done this since long before I carried, nothing has changed simply because I carry a gun. These unthinking morons can consider themselves lucky when somebody says something to them rather than simply calling the police, once they've paid a fine for it. I called once when 4 of 5 parking spaces was in violation. I went up to the cop that showed and he asked, "Are you the one that called?" I said yes and he said, "Good for you, this is the motherlode." When you've dealt with a handicapped loved one for over 30 years, and you see these jackasses using what few spaces may be available, because they're too lazy to walk a bit, it becomes personal.
. We all carry openly in the store. This guy comes in asking me to make an offer on some rifles. They were junk and my offer reflected this. The guy gets upset with the offer and walks out. A couple minutes later he walks back in demanding an apology?????????what??????Apparently my offer offended him and i was going to apologize or else. Now I allow some testosterone to cloud my brain and I tell him to leave the store that I would sooner eat a bag of crap than apologize for something I didn't do. He became more hostile both verbally and in his mannerisms. He was definitely upset. Now he begins to make threats. He was a big man and there was no doubt that he could do exactly what he was threatening. I tell him that he needs to leave and that I'm calling the cops if he doesn't. He says he will not leave without getting his apology.......only says it really nasty and loaded with cuss words. I smile and say alright you dumb sob I'm gonna get you busted for trespassing. When I called him dumb it was as if electricity had passed through his body. It effected him and his anger lever increased a bunch. Now on the phone with 911 I cupped the phone an whispered they are coming to arrest you retard. He exploded with anger to the point that the 911 lady asked if that was the bad guy and assure me that officers were en route. I explain that the phone was pretty close to the bad guy and I didn't feel comfortable standing there and we ended the call. Now stupid me I go on an adjective fest. Thinking of every way to call this guy stupid I could muster. He was crying and spitting he was so angry. I was laughing and that made it even worst. At this point this guy grabs the counter top pass thru and begins to lift it while threatening to beat me to death (again only with bad words). My stupidity was about to force me to shoot an unarmed man. I squared up to him and told him if he came behind the counter I would shoot him. Thankfully he complied and finally left. Before LE arrived of course.
