"A Pinellas County bail bondsman wound up behind bars Thursday after police say he shot at a car driven by a man he claimed skipped out on a bond.
While driving on 43rd Terrace N and 21 Street., Norman Luther Britten Jr. spotted a man who had previously jumped bail on a traffic offense. So Britten pulled out a gun and shot at the car, intending to stop the scofflaw. Britten did strike the car's left rear tire, but the man still got away.
Problem is, you can't just shoot a gun in public, especially when there are kids playing nearby. Police arrested Britten and charged him with discharging a firearm in public. Britten, 33, was booked in the Pinellas County jail Thursday night but was released a few hours later."
Yeah, the guy is a tool for capping the tires, but since when did "kids playing nearby" stop law enforcement from discharging a firearm, or is there a double standard? And sorry, oh liberal journalist desperately seeking a clue, but to prevent a felony in progress one certainly CAN discharge a firearm. Hells bells but this is Florida fer chrissake, not Texas.
Regardless, bondsmen fall into a different category, one similar to private investigators and are NOT civilian concealed weapon permit holders, so this cannot be offered as a black mark against us, and any halfway decent attorney gets the guy off without breaking a sweat. As long as a blissninny calls in a complaint, the police will arrest you without knowing or caring about the law, but the most they can hang the man for is disturbing the peace...MAYBE.
And please now. Ditch that nickle plated sissy pistol and get a Glock. Preferrably in .40 caliber or higher.
