Why no guns for search?

[Hthunder]

I am sure a lot of you have heard about the search for the 2 year old that has been on since last Thursday in West Tn. 3 requirements announced for volunteer searchers.
1. Must be 18 years old.
2. Must have photo ID.
3. Must not be armed.

My question is why would a legally armed volunteer be turned away?
Would this affect whether or not you would volunteer to search?

Keep little Noah and the family in your prayers.

Not trying to be insensitive during a trying and emotional time for a family but it just doesn't make since to have this requirement.

Because are evil. Let's be honest, anti-gun crap has nothing to do with any kind of logic, only emotion.

1. It's run by the Sheriff's office I'm assuming. They made the rules. I wouldn't test them. With that many people stomping around I wouldn't be worried about 4 legged critters as they would go the other way most likely.
2. I'd lace up myself if I lived in the area and my wife wasn't a road warrior. Most likely have a blade of some fashion on my belt like I always do.

Because the life of some poor little kid isn't as important as making some sort of PC "statement" I suppose.  :mad:

Exactly where is the search being conducted in Pinson?I have some land out there.

How would anyone know you are armed if you have it covered up with your coat?  I'd carry and not tell anyone.  There is no law keeping you from carrying, unless you are on school property.

I would guess this is more about trying to prevent people showing up thinking this is their time to swear in as emergency deputy with an AR strung on their back.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't agree with the "policy," but I imagine that it is more of a liability thing than an anti-gun statement. Remember that the search is being conducted on private property, and if I were one of the landowners I might not necessarily want 200 armed people roaming around my property at night.

I think it's more to address idiot people who want to be a vigilante. And every one of us know there would be some out there that would pose a risk.

You guys have made some good points. Really did think about people showing up like that. Thanks for the info.

It is west of Pinson on the Chester county, Madison count line.

This was my mental image when I read the first post,lol. I guess I've watched too many cop shows with country boy search parties...

not that I have any personal care for the schmuck, but wonder what he's been into recently.  haven't much from him after that green hills school incident walking up and down the sidewalk with the gun.

[Peace]

oh is that our local schmuck? oh.

as far as the search - saying that sets the tone and hones the focus. - both are always needed when trying to lead. It doesn't seem to carry the force of law - just paints a picture of one particular posture that will not be tolerated.

Yeah, that's Voldemort, King of Douches, Grand Emperor of Jackholes everywhere.

Someone on here must be friends with him in real life. I haven't actively searched for any information, but I haven't heard anything from him in quite some time.

Pull the plug and let this one die now please!

 

I'd rather discuss the effects of whole kernel corn on bowel movements than dredge HIM up for any more publicity or infamy.
