I have never heard of an insurance company working with you to remove a down tree, except when it lands on the house, car, neighbors. It did land on a fence which might be enough for them to do a removal. Here is the reason I would not make an insurance claim. Homeowners and automotive insurance companies can and have in the past dropped customers after too many claims. I know someone who had them bundled and after a roadside claim, a wreck, and requesting a new roof from hail damage she got a letter that she had 30 days of coverage left. A tree that may or may not cost as much as a deductible to remove isn't worth contacting them about. As long as your yard is solid, I think you could find someone to cut it up and haul it off as firewood for no more than $200. I know a guy that would drop that tree and haul it off for probably $200.

Honestly you are growing to probably have to cut it into ~18" logs to get someone to haul it away. If they can't drive a truck and trailer right up to it you may not be able to even give it away. Sawmills won't come after one tree, it normally takes a few for it to be worth their while. They prefer it not be from someone's yard anyway.

I have not seen a sig 2022 for under 500 in a couple of months. They were the best deal.

The mystery of the 225's/P6's, where did they all go?

Agreed the officer should have made the restaurant wait for the info, this wasn't a car wreck or some other incident of a timely manner. I would assume that the officer was probably still investigating the incident. He probably looked into enough to see what we see. That the restaurant may have/did committ a crime. Not knowing what to do from here his case has stopped cold. Does he put the restaurant in the subject block? Chances are this incident was given a case number (just about every call gets one when it comes in) and that officer will use that number when he finally does a report. Just because there isn't one now doesn't mean there wasn't going to be one. The officer should have told them to wait and get it off the report. It is to my understanding that the DMV will give out information if you have a reason, abondoned vehicles are the most common reason. They make you read the Drivers Privacy Act. but seeking damages would meet the criteria.

"If" there had been a crime, he could have given just about any information. I'm sure this officer thought that there was a crime or was convinced that there was a crime. He probably gave the "suspect" information out at the scene and figured he wouldn't do a "information" report, although he still can. The officer is lucky he didn't make an arrest, like me he probably figured this was simply a civil matter and all he is required to do is assist in identifying a suspect. For a criminal court to convict the officer the DA would have to prove that the officer knowingly acted in complete malice. Otherwise, "A Law Enforcement Officer Acting in Good Faith and Possessing Probable Cause Will Not Be Liable for Constitutional Rights Violations Under 42 USC 1983, Et. Seq." Actually this may not apply but the officer was acting in good faith, or so the court most likely would believe. I can think of two examples similar to this; An officer I knew once supposedly helped someone break into a house that they were ordered by the court to not return to. The court saw that the information provided to the officer was sufficient for the officer to believe the suspect still lived there(his license said so). No civil or criminal action was taken against the officer. The second one was when a woman called saying her kids went to their dads and they have not been heard from in several days. The police went to the house and made forced entry to find no one in the house. The family returned to find their door busted in. The police had every reason to believe a crime may have been committed but actually the family went on vacation. It turned out the mother wasn't even in the kids life's, she was just stirring up trouble. The Police said they didn't have an issue with fixing the door. The courts would not take an action against the officers or the department.

To seek criminal charges on the police they would have to go to the district attorneys office. I seriously doubt the DA would take the case on either the police or the restaurant. It would be so much more effective to take them to civil court.

Dave, it makes me feel better that another LEO on here was surprised there was a TCA for facilities. I am still shocked that there is a TCA forbidden interracial marriages. I about croaked when I read about it and someone asked me how they go about seeking prosecution.

I know E-4 is a completely different beast but I keep thinking of two E-4's I have met in life. One decided to come back in after being out 25yrs, SPC Miller and he had a huge beer gut. He was a pretty good guy, had the longest ERB you had ever seen in your life to include a Jungle Expert Badge. He would always tell stories you knew were BS but he had actual true stories he would not share. It turned out he was had been a Drill Sgt, he never mentioned it until a division SGM came by to see him and the SGM said Miller was his Drill Sgt. The other guy, I am so imbarressed that I can't remember his name, but he was one of my brigade commanders who left to come back as a SPC in the same brigade.

^ Wow, I speechless.

Well it is a civil matter and they can try to recoup or seek whatever damages they seem fit. The cop should have done a report if he chose to help the buisness at all. Some departments want a report on everything and some say only if we have to. Really there isn't anything necessarily wrong with the police doing what they did. Truthfully the cop could do a report tomorrow if saw fit, especially if he was still doing "an investigation". Some chiefs don't want reports until there are enough details for it to be worth the paper it is written on. Do I think this is crap? Yes I do but that buisness has the right to request payment and they can sue if they like. If they had a sign that read restrooms are for customers only then they may have a case. If it were to go to civil court and the defendant lost it may cost several hundred dollars. The restaurant does not have a case according to TCA 39-17-105

The only issue I see is the LE agency gave out the information. Everywhere I have ever worked they have to wait to get it off the report. In this case there was not a report. I bet those people would be really pissed if they knew some agencies, like Chattanooga, are not even blackening out socials.

Has it went back to the old standards? The last I heard you could join up to like 44.

I used then for a while as a teenager/young adult with great experience. I like everyone else never filed a claim. I use USAA for everything now with no complaints, and yes I have filed a claim.

I think gun manufacturers are selling about as many .40's as 9's or 45's. The difference is people are shooting the 9's and hoarding 9 ammo. Most people that have .40's don't really shoot them often, except me but I reload. Something else is ammo manufacturers have for a long time been cranking out a lot of .40 ammo for LE/Government agencies. I think the excessive 40 ammo on the shelves will dry up about the time a lot of 9 and other calibers start to reappear.

If you can find 9mm, just buy it. I believe what you are seeing is 2012's .40 ammo that is still on shelves compadres to 2013's 9mm that has cost the retailer a premium. I have noticed hoarders like 9mm, 223, and 22lr. I confirmed this when I went to GT Distributors a while back and they told me I could buy as much .40 S&w ammo as I like.

I have time as an active duty MP and time in the guard as a MP. Active Duty was the experience of a lifetime to see stupidity amongst all MOS's. Of course I have seen MP's get stupid, I have seen them all. I can see it now, these guys thought that no one knew those magazines were there and that no one would miss them. I am not saying it is was right and I would not have taken them, but I have known plenty of supply Sgts say they don't know what to do with" x" item, I am not supposed to have those, go throw these away in your trunk. The military has a redicilous way of wanting/not wanting some items. I have said it for years, I wished the military would just pay us less and give us all the equipment. It would have made life so much easier. Obviously firearms would/should be heavily accountable. However, the likely hood that this was just plain theft is very likely.

From what I gather you can pretty much use your regular powder and use the min. amount and weigh the shot to how many grains the bullet in your data would be.

When THP switched to Gen 4 G31's about a year ago they could buy the Gen3's for about $400 not really a huge savings verses a blue label for $431 OTD. KPD and KCSO, until this year, have been using G22's for about a decade.

How many people can pee or defecate on command at any time?

Btw Biden, buy a suit that fits.

Could you imagine if something happened to the big O and we had that idiot.

I have never done it myself but I have heard of a lot of others making their own shot shells like that.

I never could get my Kimber to run right. In all fairness I did pick it up used. I have a friend that has a whole closet full of 1911's but no Kimbers.
