Too funny. Reminded me of the story of the drunk who knocked on a couple's door late at night asking for a push.03Lightningrocks wrote:I blasted a hole through a door when I was around 20. It was 2 AM and I awoke to the sound of someone messing with the door. I shouted as loud as I could... "WHO IS IT?" . No response but the banging got louder. I shouted again... "WHO IS OUT THERE?". The banging sound quickened. I shouted one more time"I HAVE A GUN. YOU BETTER STOP!". The banging got louder and more frantic.. BOOM!!! I let one rip! Right through the door!
My first thought was... "OH, man, what did I just do?". My wife had been on the phone with the Plano cops from our bedroom and was giving them a blow by blow of the action (as she percieved it from the bedroom). The 911 lady on the phone told her to have me put the gun away, because the officers had arrived and were ready to aproach the house. I put the gun away and after my wife told the 911 lady all was clear... An officer from outside shouts through the door... "IS THIS YOUR DOG?". I open the door and a mongral dog is hopping around on the front porch like he was everybodies buddy. It was a stray and thought my house was his home. I figured he would get excited everytime I shouted and scratch at the door in response. I had aimed at head level(for a human) so he was not hit. Pretty dumb move on my part, on hind sight. Problem was, it was late at night and in my stupor I was not thinking clearly. Thank god I didn't blast some ignorant drunk who thought my house was his home. I have heard of that happening.

I think what you did was just racial profiling..you didnt care what the man had to say..you just seen tattoos and automatically thought he was a bad guy.. and when you told him to buz off thats exactly what the man did he left you alone..you on the other hand did not my good sir you pursued it by calling the cops.. heaven forbid someone with a tatoo ask you for help if they are being robbed youl just shut the door on them..
Of course I would offer hospitality to a CHL. His possession of a CHL shows respect for the law & of convention; it shows that has been vetted as a responsible member of society, & we also have a shared interest. The guy with the tats has stated that he doesnt respect nor care about my opinions.agarcia82 wrote:Lol..if he would have showed you a chl license you would have invited them in for tea and crumpets wouldn't you..but tattoos..no way! They are bad guys cause of that.. man what is this world coming to..
Tats are prevalent in prison & with gangs; two groups that have proven to reject the rules of benevolent behavior. If you choose to assume their style that's certainly your business, and if I choose to be suspicious of this look, that's my business. Dont blame others for the image you chose to convey for first impressions. Your problem is not my problem. Get off my front porch before I get irritated.thenick_ttu wrote:There it is!!Crossfire wrote:Sorry, kid.
It's the disconnect between old farts and young pups. Most young people today don't see tats as anything more than body art or a way to express themself. Old people see tats as something that an upstanding member of society would never do, which is completely ridiculous in today's society.
And I go back to my previous statement... the OP did not know if these two had the required permits. Unless the permits are required to be displayed while doing door-to-door (like a necklace), then he couldn't have known if they had the permits. He knew that permits are required for his neighborhood and assumed these two "shady" looking characters didn't have the required permits.
And just to answer any speculations... no, I don't have neck tats or sleeves. I don't have any visible tats. I just don't automatically think someone is a criminal or thug just because they have tats all over their body.
