Car Jacking Jimmy Wetch
- Thread starter IRUNRAKS
- Start date
As an Englishman I'm really not a fan of guns, whoever is holding them. I prefer the old fashioned methods, if someone took off with my dog I'd want to rip the bastards throat out.
I hope this story has a happy ending, because it makes me mad as hell just reading about it.

Man wouldnt it be nice to have a device on you that if your car was in a mile radious of you could press a button and wama..car shuts off and wont start. It just seem like the good guy , the guy that has the old hound dog in his car is the guy that suffers. I am a legal gun carrier and ex officer. I live in Va..which is a open carry state. Virginia too has addopted the Castle Law. However it doesnt allow you the freedom that you think. I dont think that it would apply in this situation. The castle law prevents you from having to have looked for a way out or flee from aposing danger. I may be wrong. I havent taken the time to read up on the castle law. You can make a stand, but it doesnt give you free range to use deadly force. Sorry guys even civilians are held in check by what we officers are held in check by... the the force continum

Got away what're you chasing these guys down? ha really man i lived in a rough neighborhood and i did a few years in the corps. there's very few situations that can't be resolved without shooting people. Self defense is one thing but when you think about it man why're you defending your self so much

i agree, i dont carry a gun all the time, i bring my body guards out with me in Vegas who do, in LA i'm unknown so I can go out alone-Vegas I cant for alot of reasons not related to pool, so I have armed body guards go with me to the pool room at night during the day I dont, and I dont have any $$$ etc.
Man it doesn't suck any worse than that. Jimmy is a real nice guy too... I had to play him my third match the first time I played in the Open. What kind of dog was it?

Sorry if I gave the impression that I thought the Castle Doctrine would apply in this situation. It DOES apply in many carjacking incidents, which was very common here in Detroit a few years ago. A concealed pistol carrier cannot draw or shoot his weapon in Michigan to protect property, including pets. His or someone's life must be threatened.
In 45 years of the shooting sports and being around guns, shooting ranges, and now being a CPL holder I have never pointed a gun at anyone much less shot anyone. It would have to be a case of my life or someone near me being directly threatened with deadly force in order for me to do so, and that would even be difficult, but if it were necessary I am prepared to do it.
Criminals in states with 'Right To Carry' laws now know that many citizens are legally armed. It has contributed to a reduction in crime in every single state where it has been enacted...Tom

They have had a gadget for years that hooks to the gas line that the car stops in a few hundred yards. You have to remember to turn it off when you park. Also they have one for the ignition thats on a timer. I think you can set that one to shut down in 30 seconds. Johnnyt
Good luck getting your dog back jimmy. Everyone around Memphis knows Maggie (germad shepard) at my pool room. Nothing like a good pool room dog. I FEEL FOR YOU!! BILL ROWSEY
BRING BACK JUNIOR!
I am praying every day for the safe return of Junior. I have disseminated this story to my industry forum, and everybody there has Junior and Jimmy in their prayers.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post back to this thread if Junior is found.
It makes me so sad.

I grew up in the ghetto.. and Ive seen some really bad things.. problem is.. its getting worse and worse.. and its spreading.. where I live..a cop gets shot or shot at on a weekly basis.. people these days have no respect. I feel alot of it has to do with parenting. kids are growing up without any respect for anyone. As a parent, you even have to be carefull on how you punish your kids.. you may be arrested for something so simple as a simple beating.. YES i said beating..sometimes a beating is needed. and you cant even do that now. something needs to be done. I dont know what should be done..but someone has to do something..or we are all doomed. I dont feel sorry for myself.. I feel sorry for my kids, and their kids. They are the ones that will suffer.
this is so depressing.
