WHY we don't ASK if it is OK to carry at <x>?

[Len-2A Training]

Just heard over the police scanner from Boston PD . . .

A business called BPD to report that someone called them to ask if there was any restriction on carrying at that location (I didn't catch what business or exactly where).

BPD dispatched officers to take a report and investigate. You can be certain if they have Caller ID on the caller they are in for a rough time.

Some questions are best left UN-ASKED!!!!!!

[Yes, I know that NES has a policy (sticky above) to NOT ask on the forum. This is a bit different . . . best not to ask anyone at any time unless required by law.]

Excellent idea!....I'm sure the BPD was quick to educate the caller with no questions asked...

No one's going to take you serious without the wallet.

One of my coworkers had a customer put a round through the ceiling and then lay the pistol on the table as a way to start the meeting. This was overseas.

If I could bet on it I would, I would bet that the caller is a post sandy-hook gun owner. For some reason or another this "class" is replete with oxygen thieves among its ranks, way more than any of the previous... I'm still trying to figure out how these people survive, as simply breathing is likely a complex task for them.

I believe "Desk Pop" is the proper industry term.

I believe "Desk Pop" is the proper industry term.

that's if you're co-workers; the cited example is "aggressive negotiations", like in one of the Star Wars movies.

that's ****ing awesome.

Company later received a letter from that country saying that if my coworker ever returned, the government could not be responsible for his safety. Apparently, despite the meeting I mentioned, my coworker was not will to acquiesce to all the customer's demands.

Jeez, what business are you in where you deal with thugs like that?

 

[not new guy]

I don't understand what's so bad about calling and asking the question, not that I ever would. If anything it would seem to normalize the notion that some people out there are walking around with a gun in their pants and not breaking any laws at all in the process. What's completely retarded, aside from the moron calling the cops in the first place, is that they dispatched a couple of cops to investigate. All it would take would be for this to happen a couple of times a day for a little while and the cops would stop taking it seriously.

One can only presume that duffel bags were being exchanged.

Would rather not be specific, but in that case the customer was the government of a nation in the pacific.

 

[boscru]

good reminder len...... I wonder what the caller's "registered user" screen name is on NES

 

[Chevy 2 65]

over reaction by BPD

 

[Glockster30]

Maybe it was a polite thug or terrorist asking if it was legal to carry concealed in that location.

Makes sense. Wouldn't want to violate a gun free zone!

That's a phone call best saved for when you are visiting moonbat relatives for the holidays.

 

[ma-hole]

I think you're all missing the fact that it was obviously a criminal/terrorist looking for a prime target...

Got it. You sell high SPF suntan lotions.
