Hello all, I guess I've lurked long enough. I just had to agree with
Andrew about the shotgun. Seeing as how this is a subject I am familiar
with.

Being in law enforcement, I can tell you that showing up on scene with a
shotgun is DEFINITELY an attention getter. People tend to not want to argue
with you as much :) But the best is at night when you show up on scene and
bring that old shotgun out of it's carrier and rack a round into the
chamber, (grin) People just tend to stop what they are doing and take
notice. THAT is the universal command of Stop.
