Sorry, I still stand by my statements. I wouldn't call the cops in any of those situations. Nosy-parker busybodies make life hell for everyone. You SEE someone being raped/robbed/assaulted/killed? Sure. Call the cops. But don't stick your damn nose in where you don't know what is going on.

One thing I WILL agre on -

ANY TIME you get mixed up in stuff like that, you WILL get a metaphorical black eye. And maybe a real one.

But sometimes, its still the right thing to do.

Sorry if the "Israeli babes" and "I'm getting divorced again" threads bore me.

I like my discussions to be a little more cutting edge and informative than "OOo, I'd like to do her" and "I hate my wife."

Heres a tip. Dont read every post. I dont. And I have more than enough entertainment to keep me from my work

I skip right over those threads. Leaving me being FORCED to post something more provocative.

None of those scenarios sounds "normal". Almost of all them exhibit some sign of something seriously wrong going on. Even if you don't personally know what is going on in a particular situation, it should be your responsible response based on what you heard in many of those scenarios to contact LE and let them look into whats going on; it could very well be a tragedy you'll be averting, and if you did nothing and just let it happen, you would have to live with your guilty conscience.

And ammo for the anti gunners to ram the next piece of anti gun legislation thru Congress.

But that's "not my problem," right fellers?

wouldn't do any good to call anybody...no crime committed that the police would be intersted in...if you are on government property or school proterty the police will come out right away.
and if you get involved in another person's argument, how do you know that the one you think is beeing threatened, won't turn on you when the police come and say you are the guilty party?

Those are all VERY important questions on determining whther to use deadly force.

SC CCW law is quite specific on those issues, and in my classes I teach extensively on those issues.

But those questions are not very relevant on whether to call the police, IMO.

Everybody's a comedian.

And YES I am proud of my involvements and accomplishments for gun rights.

Not quite. Just looking at several of those scenarios, you have a couple of solid domestic violence offenses, possible a menacing charge, or aggravated harassment, etc.

..if you are on government property or school proterty the police will come out right away.

How will they come "anyway" if they aren't called?

and if you get involved in another person's argument, how do you know that the one you think is beeing threatened, won't turn on you when the police come and say you are the guilty party?

No one says that you have to become directly involved; you make the call, and let the responding officers contact YOU if they need to interview you.
