Glad the kid is fine, but the mother doesn't deserve punishment for a simple accident. Lesson already learned. Just keep weapons out of reach until you can expose them when they are a little older and teach them the difference between what is and is not a toy.

Prove there weren't threats against my life then. given the circumstances that two burglars are on your property and uninvited at 4am i think you'd be within your rights.

He now has been fighting to get his gun back for a year now with no luck. It will cost more time and money to get this gun back than it is worth. He just went and bought another one. It seems to me that law enforcement agencies keep these and sell them for revenue. If someone is deemed ok to have their gun back, why make it such a pain in the but to get it back?

I do understand that there are guys that try to make them strip clubs, and leave large tips in hopes for more than coffee. I leave the same tip that i do anywhere else, and i don't sit there with my tongue out drooling over them either. But i would rather be served coffee from a smoking hot young female in risque clothing than a guy or overweight and unattractive house wife...there isn't a single guy out there that would disagree which is why these stands flourish.

By law if there is a program such as water rescue, trench rescue, high/low angle rope rescue, etc. then there are minimum requirements to have these programs. it costs money to have the ongoing training to keep these people able to keep their certifications. Trust me, the firefighters wanted to go in, but their hands were tied. People should question what their tax dollars go towards. it isn't uncommon for these programs to suffer when there is an over staffed and overpaid administration and support staff. when the rubber meets the road i think anyone would agree they would like to see firefighters responding with the actual tools and training to perform their duties.

Pretty sure that is learned in 2nd grade as well...

Thu, 2 Jun 2011 19:12:48 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/122942693.html#IDComment158611590 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/122942693.html#IDComment158572781 I recall a call myself before i was a career firefighter when a couple firefighters in my dept. had to do the same exact thing at a lake in our area. a 19 year old drowned. these responders had no equipment or water rescue training to speak of due to no water rescue program. they were no better prepared for the situation than the citizens that were there watching this unfold before them. they felt horrible that they couldn't do anything for him. Not every Firefighter is automatically a trained "HERO." It takes money to have a program to buy equipment and provide training for these responders so that they can be your "HERO." when a program goes away due to budget cuts. so does the equipment. For anyone who has ever voted no for their fire departments, keep in mind that your hero's don't just continue to respond with the same equipment and personnel that it used to. When rescue programs and firefighters go away, so does the quality of your response. support your local fire department Thu, 2 Jun 2011 16:27:47 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/122942693.html#IDComment158572781 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/122942693.html#IDComment158572735 I am a professional firefighter at a department with 2 lakes, 2 swift moving rivers, and a man made canal. due to our small budget there is not even a water rescue program in place and never has been. The only equipment to speak of is a disc with rope attatched to it that we can throw. we are not by policy allowed to do any other intervention then the water rescue area. only allowed to contact the county "dive team," by which by the time they arrive it is a recovery, not a rescue. for all of you armchair quarterbacks out there saying you would break policy even if it meant losing your jobs are idiots. To say that you would walk away from a career that you support your family and feed your children to save a suididal person is rediculous, especially in this economy. keep in mind that there are times in our careers where going against policy to do the right thing happens, but not at risk of our own lives or lives of our co-workers.
