Well i don't know you so don't take this personally or anything, but I am going to give you an example.
So we have Bob, he thinks the best way to celebrate the 4th is by strapping on his Kimber sumperduper SWAT special deluxe tac pistol with tac light and laser, take some sirlions from the icebox and heads out to the deck behind the trailer. He gets his cooler and puts some ice and alot of beer in it, and the lights up the BBQ. He uses to much lighter fluid cause he likes to watch the big fiiire. Later after the coals are almost ready Bob releases the beer is gone. Well Bobs feeling no pain and forgets he has had a few beers, and has his pistol strapped on and heads down to Bobs bait and beer(no relation) for some booze.
As he is walking in some uptight liberal sees him, thinks 'hmmmm he looks drunk and has a gun I better call the cops!' and dials 911 on her cell phone.
She tells the 911 operator 'a drunk man with a gun just staggered into a Bobs bait a and beer!" (no relation)
The 911 operator puts out a call and by chance, chuck, a local cop happened to be about a block away filling out paper work. He rushes to the Bobs Bait and Beer.(no Relation)
He gets there just as Bob comes out of the "Bobs Bait and Beer" (no relation) with 2 12 packs and the almost runs into Chuck.
Chuck thinking he was going to a robbery has his gun out and is a little exited so when bob drops the beer cans Chuck lets loose with 13 rounds from his 40.Glock (Chuck was a NY cop, thats how they roll), luckily Chuck being like most cops, doesn't practice much so he misses with all his shot.
Bob on the other hand shot himself in the foot when he drunkenly tried to pull his cocked and locked Kimber.
Bob goes to Jail for trying to shoot a cop, even though thats not quit fair. They can sort it out with the DA.
Ok outlandish and silly, sure, but the real ending is so predictable, all of the above up to the phone call is basically the same. Just that when Chuck and the other units in the area arrive, theres all the yelling, the hand cuffing after that the breathalyser. Then county jail for the night with Bob the drunken Harley mechanic( no relation) who likes to cuddle. The the lawyers and court dates etc.
That is unless you live in some back woods location and know everyone. You know maybe like that valley in deliverance?
Here in California I am sure the cops would be really annoyed at having to waste their time on some dipstick who decided strapping on his hog leg was the way to celebrate independence day.
I am pretty pro gun as well, but also a realist, but hey, I guess I am the ignorant one.
