For my part in this thread I hope many will participate in for the good of all, please share!
OK as for me, my bro needed to renew a firearms license or whatever you call it here, he went to the Police office or whatever you call it, like 8 weeks ago about and no one there, it is a fairly small town so maybe that was to be expected, so he wrote some message in some written log they had there that he had to renew. Soon after, we got a call from the local PD with this guys name mentioned. I thought this was a generalized thing anyone could handle but he seemed to take this on personally. He showed mu bro where they jail prisoners and discussed the common crimes happening in the town like domestic violence and drunk issues, said there is a grace period even after the gun license expires and my bro thought he was a great guy even though he is part time officer in 3 towns and bragged about a dream house he was building north of here... and promised he'd hand deliver the liscense when it came time, should have been the 1st week of March but the state dragged their feet the last time too...
OK so now I have been having bad dreams and unpleasant symptoms to say the least and urging him to go there and say he has an unpredictable schedule in retail. He kept saying he would, he never did. Epic procrastinator guess it runs in the family!
Today, I was caught unawares as the Brits say, with my pants down quite literally you could say, when I hear a bang bang sound twice like fists against metal and think "oh God"! Well, don't know what the sound was but a second or so later no kidding, I see a town police cruiser coming into view. Oh hell I grabbed real pants and boots and put them on and ran outside not soon enough for my liking!
By the time I went out, he was practically on the doorstep maybe 5-10 feet away.. don't know what he saw/interpreted in the meantime...
I go out and he says he has the gun license for my bro, but there is something else he has to discuss and can he go inside and talk to him? Said he was not home, as was true, working a 3-11 shift as he will be the next day. He alternated at least twice between giving it to me and saying there was another liscense to renew and finally did not give it. I sent bro a message, and no 2nd issue from what he heard, and even though my bro is 3-11 next day and supposedly the other guy, he can now meet at 8 AM and no mention of a second issue. WTF?!
