" I dont care about the second amendment"

[hurley842002]

So if you are driving down I-25 and you see someone swerving across the lanes or otherwise drives as if they were somehow impaired, you wouldn't call CSP?

So if I see someone breaking into your house, then walking out the door with your valuables, I shouldn't dial 911?

So if I witness someone being beaten and raped, I shouldn't do anything?

I'm just checking. I know that wasn't the original situation in the OP, and as I stated in a previous post, the OP knows what he knows based on what the other people told him and there is no clearly defined time frame or obvious danger to anyone based on the information. I would not advocate a 911 call based on the OP's situation, however, asking someone for additional information or advice based on a desire to obtain a better understanding of the legalities would not be unwise, IMO.

The cliche "snitches get stitches," is just sophomoric. Concerned citizens, with information about a clear danger to other human beings have a moral and civic duty to act, again, IMO. Report the information and be a good witness would seem to the bare minimum action for members of a civilized community. If someone's life is in jeopardy, many of us have declared that we will be responsible and use the force necessary to protect the life of another human being.

Each to his own I guess. You know, or will find out what your conscience will bear.

Be safe.

Couldn't have said it better!

^^^Well said and agree 100%.

When you get right down to it, there's a big difference between being a good person with morals/integrity and/or acting to stop/prevent something bad from happening (i.e. - there is an eminent and/or credible threat), and walking around with a childish "tattle-tale" mentality all the time, always trying to get people jammed up for pretty much no reason because <insert stupid insecurity/prejudice here>...

just remember

snitches get stitches.

"Stitches"? That's an odd name for a body bag....

Anywho, I heard this guy from Africa talk about trying to run for Congress in Illinois. Y'all think I should say something? It's been several years ago since I overheard this....
