This is my front door.
Someone coming to my home can take away whatever impression they want to from this...

Didn't we just go over ebay teapots and reflections?

Hey, at least I've got clothes on...

Your post makes me think of my time in the Bay Area. I guess a lot of them moved to Kalispell and out in the woods living in shacks with blue tarps for roof and walls and no windows (I saw this commonly just outside of Whitefish)...

I don't live in Kalispell but you can SEE this type of SMUG woman all over this state and in specific cities and in RURAL SMALL TOWNS across the country.

And you sure wouldn't want your kid to see you beat down and arrested because you escalated a 'non-crime' issue.

I completely AGREE you should not be 'pushed around and not take it' but there are more rational and intelligent ways to deal with situations like this ESPECIALLY when you are in the right and without putting yourself in a potential position of being 'wrong' because you were 'not going to be pushed around'.

I had a situation a few years ago with a Deschutes Co. Sheriff's Deputy with a 'non-crime' scenario and got my 'day in court' because of the way I handled it and would be more than happy to describe it if you would like.

I would like to read this story.

Stupid.

But I don't believe in giving kids toy guns, only real guns.

Seriously, it is my belief that toy guns foster unsafe gun handling.

Yes, I had and played with toy guns as a kid, and I eventually was taught safe gun handling (by a hunting safety course, not really by my dad or family), but I think too many kids play with toy guns, then when they get their hands on real guns they treat them the same way.

That said, if a parent wants to give their kid a toy gun, that is their right and the police/etc. have no say in the matter and they can go fornicate themselves.

My brother uses that exact same phrase a lot. A lot...

Well, I'm glad I don't see them here... We have our share of college students, but none of them look like Berkeley radicals, and probably aren't.

I knew you didn't live in Kalispell, I was just saying that a lot of the Bay area people, whom I associate for better or worse with that look and attitude, moved there AFAIK.

I had toy guns as a kid. I had to treat them like real guns or they got removed. Most parents didn't then and wouldn't now be as disciplined so I get the point.
