Ask a Police Officer anything

615 Questions

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

From the perspective of a police officer, does it worry you or calm you to know that some citizens can legally carry firearms? Sure, they can help stop a shooting before the police show up, but should ordinary citizens have the power to end a life?

Asked by Hello about 11 years ago

Yes - Every citizen is entitled to self-defense, including the use of deadly force when they are in reasonable fear for their life or the life of another person. What difference does it make if they use a firearm, knife, baseball bat or their own hands/feet? The difference is that the weak can defend themselves from stronger, younger predators. No law abiding citizen should be disbarred the use of arms for the defense of themselves and their family.

Back in the 1970's, my father bought two fake grenades from a surplus army navy store. They look real, and if I throw them in the trash someone could freak out. Is there any way the local police would take them without freaking out if I call them?

Asked by JP almost 11 years ago

Yes, they are completely legal. But, you are right and someone might freak out if someone sees them. Calling the PD and explaining the situation should be fine. We helped dispose of all sorts of stuff (ammo, explosives, etc.).
