I get a call of a prowler and the homeowner is in the woods trying to chase them down. This is called in by a neighbor of the CHL'er.
I get there and "Hero" is walking out of the woods at the trailer park with a Sig in his hand and yells across the street at me, "Don't worry, I have a 'gun license'". I ask him to stay put and tell the neighbors I would appreciate them going back to their house, I needed to speak with the "victim".
I ask him what he is doing and he tells me someone was by his trailer, some kids he thinks, so he grabbed his gun out of his truck and took off after them into the woods.
I informed him it was called a CHL for "CONCEALED" handgun license, not a "Run around in the woods with a gun in your hand license" (I guess that would be a RAITWWAGIYHL, but that just doen't roll off the tongue like CHL, but I degress.) Secondly, I reminded him he was required to have his license on him, it was not a "gun license" but a CHL, and finally, what in the hell was he doing in the woods by himself chasing people around for.
Then the final question, what in the hell did you plan on doing when you found them. He looked at me with this dumb look and said, "I guess I'd point my gun at them."
I had to leave because it is not legal to shoot people like that.
So there, cops are not the only stupid people with guns walking around. :P
