Here in the Detroit area calling the police wouldn't do any good, because they won't respond to this kind of call. And the perps know it.
The example she gave was, you walk out of Wal Mart, the panhandler is leaning against your car door and tells you “If you don’t give me money I won’t let you in your car”.
And how do you propose to accomplish this salubrious end without telling someone about the situation who has the authority to cart said bully off to jail?
I can't believe some of these responses. IMO Lee has nailed it 100%.
My experience differs - the only time I've ever known of panhandlers posing an annoyance to a store's customers in the parking lot, the management called the local PD instantly upon being informed, and was willing to press the matter all the way to filing trespassing charges after said panhandlers were informed they were not welcome, if they showed up again. Of course, maybe things are different elsewhere in different jurisdictions, but here, businesses that pay local taxes get response to when they ask the local PD for help.
I agree Bob. You live in TX I in AZ. Thank God we both live in a free state. A state that you don't have to beg someone just to get in your own car. I'm sure TX is like AZ in the sense that not a week goes by something goes down as self defense that in just about any other state they would be in jail. With the freedom we have in AZ is the reason I hate to see out of state people moving into the state. Most come wanting to make it like the nanny state they came from
I'm not quite sure just what you think it is that Arizona law would permit you to do that you could not do in Colorado, or what it is that you would like to do, but before you decide to resort to the use of a firearm in Arizona, here is something you should study very carefully.Posted by lostone1413: I agree Bob.
