"On Dec. 18th 2009 at or around 12 noon, I had someone attempt a forced burglary on my home here in South Seattle. I called the Police to report it. Operator 117 took the phone call. She asked me if I had any weapons. I replied yes I do. I am armed all the time. Told her I also have a permit. I also told her I was reporting it for information so they would know that something was going on in this area and I did not request they send the Police. She requested that I disarm. I asked why should I since this is my house and home. Her response was because I said so. She then referred me to Chief Dispatcher 20 who demanded that I disarm before they would even dispatch.

Very nicely as with the other dispatcher I stated I would not. My weapon is in my holster. She got on the radio and I heard her say "he is arguing with me and refuses to disarm" I informed her that I was not arguing with her. She stated again sir disarm and come out of the house with your hands up or we will not respond onto your property. I told her I would put the gun down and come out but not with my hands up. 2 minuets later there was a knock and I went outside. 2 officers then began to lecture me that I should obey the dispatcher and do what they tell me to do. There were about 9 officers outside.

They did not take a report or check the property or look at anything except for walking up and down the street. Then they left. I cannot understand why a legal gun owner on their own property has to disarm just to have the Police show up. Plus why I should come out of the house with my hands up."

I am not trying to stir up trouble. Just wondered if anyone in the Seattle area heard this on the air. I can understand why the police would be taking precautions due to the horrible officer shootings lately. It is very unfortunate that the average citizen has to take the burden for the actions of a few bad apples. I read in the local newspaper that airport security would be beefed up with longer screening after the incident aboard the flight last week. Too bad we can not find a way to deal with these bad apples without everyone having to pay for their actions. Mandatory lobotomies or something like that :D

Re-read the post. Jim is not asking for assistance.

I would suspect there's a lot more to this story than the original author is admitting to.
