I have been asked before. Usually I avoid the question. When Asked where my back up gun is I usually say Which one.

I got asked a weird <stupid> question tonight.
Was out doing a ride-along....and we stopped at Chili's for dinner. The hostess asked us if we needed any children's menus.

[General Patten]

When Asked where my back up gun is I usually say Which one.

People have this fascination with cops and guns. The questions always get worse and worse. My personal favorite is when people ask if I have ever shot or tased anyone, if I have ever been shot or tased, and does it hurt? I normally decline to answer whether I have shot or tased anyone, citing that it is not something I discuss. As far as it hurting, I ask if they would like to find out. :-)

[Big Al]

You will also be asked, "have you shot anybody", "have you ever been shot", ?

Lots of weirdos amongs us. I tell them yes to the first, which is true, and it usually shuts them up.

* How does that holster retaining device work?
* Are there any gaps in your vest?
* Would a standard handcuff key fit your shotgun latch?
* Would it be a crime if I swapped your dashcam video tape with a porno tape, if I just hid the tape in your car and didn't actually steal it?
* Where are the mounting bolts on that light bar? That would look cool in my bedroom!
* Can that MDT play "Grand theft Auto?"

Just a few I came up with as a joke one time on another forum

#2 is in poor taste, looking back on it, since a local officer was later killed that way

[Ducky]

Answer to "Do you ever shoot people" should be "Not enough" with a hard and eager look at the asker.

[Autumn2009]

Last night at work, someone asked me if my fluroscent yellow, see from the space shuttle, safety vest (you know the one lol) was bullet proof?

[snuffy2202]

Why do people ask you if you knew a retired police officer and then say the officer died like 20 years ago? It happened to me this week.

[Dudleydoright]

TxCharlie you won't believe this but I had a student ask if I had a retention holster. I told him yes and then he asked how it works. I told him we weren't having that discussion. I couldn't believe it! I agree with the other folks, have you shot anybody or been shot are frequent questions

I remember a scene from a Dennis Leary show a few years ago. He was ridding the snot-nose daughter of the Chief around on a ride-a-long. She asked him if he shot some today. Reply goes something like this:

NO,--- wait a minute, I thing I got one this morning while driving over the George Washington Bridge . I missed the one on the FDR but got one while on the Cross Island. Got two in Times Square and was hunting one before I got to the Precent.

Not an exact quote but close enough. I would love to use something like this around some of the smart asses I deal with.

[CountyFourteen]

Dennis leary made my chritstmas last year.......did you see his christmas special???? Oh my wife the dispatcher......had to buy everyone in our family "tits 4 totts" shirts", lol.......if ya'll missed the special......might want to see it if they replay it.

Thats funny, because all cops in Canada have vests. Apparently this lady was a little dim.

[JLK]

[Piggybank Cop]
