Reply #5: It's a rolling pain in the ass... [View All]

A party bus in general is a bus rented by a group for the purpose celebrating without the hazards of driving afterward. Sounds like a good plan on the surface, but the devil is always in the details. The most common type of party bus that I have to deal with are the ones hired by a group that wants to go bar hopping as a group. In my experience, bar owners and patrons alike, would prefer that they not show up at their favorite watering hole. They are frequently filled with young power drinkers that are typically found at the center of many bar fights.

As a police officer, it is a rare weekend that we are not called to one of the local bars as a result of the activities of party bus patrons. Many of the local bars have banned party buses from bringing their patrons to their establishment, because of the problems that are, all too frequently, associated with their arrival.

In response to the original post...Is there some policy you are advocating in reaction to this event? (other than the typical gun=bad...must clamp down on all legal gun owners!)

The linked article doesn't provide much information surrounding the event, so I am at a loss as to what your point may be with regard to policy/law changes. It would appear that there are already laws in place addressing such issues, thus he gun was seized.
