When I was growing up 30 years ago I remember one time in Rockville that police had to use riot gear/control tactics to disperse all of us unruly teenagers who were camping out to score HFStival tickets. Some idiot broke a store window and the cops came out with bullhorns and everything. We were not arrested. We all turned out fine. |
+1. Why has no information been released? |
and when 355 is full of atv drivers? |
The MoCoPGNews account is a student at a college in South Carolina who listens to police/FRS scanner talk. Someone called the police to say this was happening. I can listen to scanners too, and so can you. From the scanner traffic, there's no evidence this actually did happen. |
Yes, sound logic here. I'm sure it's more likely to be an elaborate conspiracy... |
What conspiracy? There is no conspiracy involved in someone who calls the police and provides inaccurate, incomplete, or even just plain incorrect report. It happens all the time. |
If he’s 18 he could not get a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit. The crime rate of licensed concealed pistol carriers is lower than that of active police officers. To get a Maryland permit a person must be 21, pass a fingerprint and other record check, complete multiple days of training according to State Police criteria and fire a qualifying score on the required live fire test. Active drug users, people with repeat drunk driving offenses, people with protective orders against them, people who have been institutionalized, etc., need not apply. |
The Capitol Hill headlightless, mufflerless, aTV gang is up rockville too every night?! Groovy. Sick of them causing accidents by eastern market |
You know, you’re right! It’s all the guns self-locomoting to harm people. They mind control their innocent users. |
| You know where the illegal guns come from? People who have purchased them legally but don't handle them responsibly. |
Actually, some unlawfully possessed firearms are home made, which is now more or less prohibited around here. Others are straw purchased, which is a federal and local crime. Others are stolen, which is a crime. They are carried without a license. Criminal. Loaded. Criminal. Not registered. Criminal (in DC). I suppose what you mean by “don’t handle them responsibly” is that the wicked, negligent gun owners have the temerity to have their firearms stolen. Most crime vehicles are stolen. Are they not being “handled responsibly?” |
To safely store your firearm, the NRA advises: 1. trigger locks 2. locked gun cases 3. strong boxes and security cases 4. locking steel gun cabinets 5. gun safes |
Someone has to cover the scanners. The Gazettes have been shut down (thanks Jeff Bezos) and the WaPo doesn't bother covering most local crime. |
Agreed. It's a public service. But just because Rockville police dispatch says someone called to say X, doesn't mean X is an accurate and complete description of what happened. What actually happened at the IHOP, if anything? MoCoPGNews doesn't know, and neither do you or I. |
"The Moco Show" on Facebook and Insta does a good job of covering various topics, including crime and new business openings and events. Run by a former MCPS teacher, I've been following for years.. |
