Ok now that I'm home I can reply! LOL
Yes, Plainfield PD showed up after about 30 minutes. We were told when an officer becomes available they would send one out. Ok fine. THey have 20 patrol officers on duty during the day shouldn't take long. Oh wait, the doughnuts and Plainfield Gangstas might get into a pissing match...
Anyway, we've been having problems with some STUPID neighbors. These are people who put fish heads on their hands and ask (through the fish) do you wanna go have _____ you fill in the blank. Well, they ripped us off some money, told us tough nooky, and then started to threaten us. They even called the cops on me saying I was pointing my guns at them in my backyard!!!!! OMGWTF!!! I don't think so! I got my gun out to show their son because he asked. Any chance to get someone interested in shooting I'm all for it. But I NEVER pointed it at anyone. The muzzle never covered anything but the ground and the lake/pond 100yds away. But the first cop came ran my license and my DL and my serial number of my Eagle. Yes I let him take it from me, let him unload it and set it in his car. He was very nice about it and very careful to not bang it around. Asked if he could rack it and fondle it and told me it was a nice pistol. After talking safety and safety while carrying in the house, we talked about shooting and shooting matches and so forth. After about 20 minutes of that we talked about the situation in depth. He even told me I SHOULD retreat into the house if need be. BUT if he or her came at me with a stick... that was a different story. Basiclly if he attacked me, do what I have to. Calloway was his name. Great Guy.
Now between a week ago then and today the neighbors continued to harrass us and threaten us. So today we had enough of this especially in front of the kids. We called the police. Mainly just so this is on record. Also maybe get them to stop all this nonsense. We don't instigate ANYTHING, we don't look their way, we don't speak to them or OF them, period. They are not there to us. Well the cops came, they wanted to know what the problem was so we told them. A cool headed, INGO hat wearing, Baby Eagle CCing SavageEagle greeted the officer with a hand shake. Let him know I was carrying and with a license. A flustered, emotional Tink greeted the officer with a non stop explaination. After hearing our story, the LEO, who I won't name, started to ask why i carry in my own drive. I told him I always carry. Everywhere. CC and OC. Home and out. He said he carrys everywhere but home and if we feel we have to carry at home we need to move. WITFFF is this guy's deal?!?!?!? I couldn't believe it. So I told him that we were living as homeowners and the ignorant fools behind us were renters. That we shouldn't have to move they should. So thats when he told us, move, get along, or get a restraining order. Whatever, fine. Restraining order it is. Then a petition of homeowners to the homeowners association to get these freaks booted from the subdivision.
Remember, this neighborhood is relatively quite and has been for 8 years. Then they move in and the cops have been there because of these people more times in one month than I've seen cops in the neighborhood since I've lived here. Somethings gotta get done and By God, if no one else is going to do it, I am.
Am I wrong for any of this???????
Also check out what other LEO's had to say about some of this here:
