Very good advice J. Davis. Very poor taste in jokes there Chuck. Remember Chuck kids under 18 read a lot of stories on here as well as our “responsible adult” responses to the stories. They have a way of taking what an adult says and putting it to the test a lot of times. The cowboy days are gone and I miss them if I must say so myself. I care a weapon 99% of the time with me. I am a lot older and wiser than I use to be. Hopefully there will come a day we don’t need to carry pistols anymore to protect ourselves and our family on the roads, at work, and at home. That would be the good times. REMEMBER KIDS CHUCK WAS JOKING. DON’T CARRY A GUN IT MIGHT GET YOU KILLED TOO.

Alan……I was “yucking it up ” on what is otherwise a very serious situation. I hope no-one took me seriously . Although my teens are very proficient with firearms , I would not allow them to take them outside the home without myself being present.

Chuck – I don’t think what you are proposing is even legal…I am pretty sure you need to be 18 to have a pistol. If there’s not a law against it, there sure needs to be!!

Very good advice J, the only thing I could add would be to give your teenager some “heat” to pack in the console for cop wannabe kidnappers. Be sure that they are competent with the use of it and you can watch your ballgame without worrying about the welfare of your little bundle of joy. Mine can’t even drive yet and they can nail a bullseye with my “forty” better than me. I’m a proud NRA daddy! Oh, did I mention that they are girls.

let this be a lesson to all, protect yourself. If you are followed by a unmarked police car or a car that has flashing lights that is not marked for law enforcement and they are trying to get you to pull over call 911 on your cell phone and explain the situation to dispatch. at that point dispatch will confirm or deny if the person is really law enforcement. Also if you are being pulled over and the area is dark or you are not comfortable stoping there call 911 and let dispatch know and they will relay to the officer attempting to make the stop that you are not fleeing or evading law enforcement but really looking for a safe place to pull over. also keep your car doors locked and never roll the window down all the way. If you have power windows and the officer tells you to turn off the engin only leave enough room to pass and recieve ID’s and documents through the window. anyone needing more information about personal safety and traffic stops should contact the Escambia County Sheriffs office. The good folks there will be more than happy to assist you. Be safe, Be informed.
