Alpo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 "Police didn't charge him." What could they have charged him with? Is Maine so wussy that if you are on YOUR PROPERTY, with a gun, people call the cops and they send out the SWAT team? Man I'm glad I live in Florida.

Shawnee McGrutt Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 No wassies in Maine except, The ones from away. It is still cold up here, to go outside without ones shirt on, you got to be tough. The cops must have been bored, or a Dunkin Donuts was close by. Keep your powder dry Shawnee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The "workers" were probably from Mass. I was working in Kennebunkport and a woman tourist came up to me - Officer- there is a truck parked down the street with a gun in the window! Parked truck - locked- with single shot shot gun in window rack. I asked - so what's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawnee McGrutt Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If a Girl Scout went to his door my question would be, why are her parents allowing her to go to a strangers door selling cookies? I have gotten a tad miffed with the power companies tree trim crews. More like tree butchering then pruning. And they do make a lot of noise, this guy worked nights and wanted to sleep. If someone was making noise while you were sleeping, what would be your reaction? As far as his nazi tats, is that what one base what this dude is about? I know of a few cops that have nazi or white power tattoos. Tats aren't my cup of tea, but to each his own. Also if one thinks I am defending this guys nazi tattoos, there are two things I don't collect, nazi and New York Yankee memorabilia . But back to the one liners; his girl friend was on the local news, she said he only has a single shot gun and takes forever to reload. I have more but Allie Mo, might give me a warning. So I won't temp fate. Keep your powder dry Shawnee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 He went outside shirtless and yelled at the workers to leave. When he's not wearing a shirt, the tattoo looks like a gun tucked into his waistband. No, it looks like a tattoo of a gun. Now here I get confused: Police didn't charge him. Smith reportedly said that he does not regret getting the life-size handgun tattoo and recalled a time he was arrested once on a warrant for an unpaid fine. "I said, 'Yeah, I got this gun on me all the time. It's tattooed on,'" he told the arresting officer. So, was he arrested or not? If so, on what charge?

Elk Creek LeMieux Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 To be clear, I'm not questioning free speech or anything of that nature. You (he) want to tattoo things on your body that proclaim your questionable beliefs to the world, go right ahead. Just don't be surprised when you win stupid prizes for playing stupid games.

Shorty Jack Hammer Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ooooorrrr he really did have a gun in his waist band when he came outside and yelled, but then when he got contacted by police he went "Gun? Oh no officer he must have seen my tattoo." and since he has the tattoo and his story seemed plausible he got let go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee McGrutt Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Red, would you take his word, if you went on that call? As one poster stated, I am sure he is a known commodity by the Somerset County S.D. and Maine State Police. I would have check his story out, and i am sure the police did as well. It seems that this winter the law dawgs have not had a sense of humor, up here in the North Woods. Can't blame them as it seems quite a few people have been behaving badly. Seems that there have been more shootings and stabbings then normal. Not on subject, but there seems to be meth labs popping up all over the place as well. So I am sure the law took this guy seriously and gave him a good look over. Keep your powder dry and you stay safe Shawnee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The "workers" were probably from Mass. Really, Jimmy??? Last time I checked, no MA State Police Troopers were surrounding a guy's house in MA over a tattoo...... Of course, they did surround the Burlington Mall a couple of years ago after a report of a "man with a rifle" - turned out to be an umbrella in a knapsack..... There are touchy, ignorant and scared folks everywhere. Maine is, I believe, an open carry state. MA is not. Even with a concealed carry permit, a MA resident with a visible real gun in his waistband can be arrested, even in his front yard. But we draw the line short of tattoos.....
