Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Handicap sticker for your vehicle

Enjoy the fine, and the inconvenience. Do it in front of me, and it will happen again. Bank on it.

I don't care if I have to belly crawl into a damn store, save em for the folk that really need them, pass!

See? I knew I would finally find some sort of value in your posts...... you can serve as a bad example.

There's a surprise.

A$$hole

I always park out in the far end of the parking lots and walk....out where the overnight RVs park...
so I am not in competition for a parking spot near the door... even when its raining or the weather is crap...

plus as mentioned above... I usually mind my own business, concerning those who use handicapped spots.

I usually don't say nothing to the teenagers or millennials when they are using the handicapped scooters in the store
riding them around just to have fun, when they are for someone else who really needs them....

in my travels, I still would bet less than half the people who have handicap placards really need them....
but I mind my own business on that subject....

He thinks it's alright to park there since he's mentally handicapped.

Hopefully your condition isn't genetic, and you're speaking out of ignorance.

I was gonna guess zero. Cops down here don't even bother with it even when called.

You'd be correct.

But detective kellory is now hot on the trail so I may have to change my wicked ways.

Joe South’s walk a mile in my shoes explains a lot!

I'm kinda slow. Had to read this twice before I realized you didn't say [type] Peacemaker. I thought "Who would say anything to a guy wearing a Peacemaker?"

I'd qualify for that sticker based on my heart condition, but there's always folks worse off who need those spots worse than I do. Deflave, if you're really illegally parking in those spots, shame on you. So hard to tell with you as your line of BS knows no boundaries.

I have a friend that is a C7 incomplete quad. He's legit handicapped. He can ride and race motocross on a bike that has a rekluse auto clutch and a left hand rear brake. If he falls over he can't remount without help and we have to load and unload him at the track. It's kind of fun to watch him park in the handicapped spot and kind of crab walk with a cane to get in the burger place after we're done riding.

"They are needed, but so dam many?
Who has ever seen half the spots filled? By legitimate users."

Most of my health care providers are in the same hospital complex. There is a double line of handicap spaces about 100 yards in length and if you have a morning appointment, forget about finding a space. I ain't gonna happen. Afternoons are sometimes more luck than not but usually there will be a few spaces available. It's a busy place. My doctor authorized the HC plates for me for my knees.

i came back to this thread after running an errand yesterday. I had to pick up a 35lb package at a U .P.S. store. Probably 110 degrees at the time. I hobbled in, got the package, and was trying to support it while walking out with a cane. I did not ask for help. Then getting it from the car in the house. That's probably why i got a couple hours sleep last night, with my back spasiming. I have been a big game hunter most of my life but last year's elk season probably my last. I spent the whole time in the cab of the truck, walking in the woods, and processing an elk if i had shot one just isn't gonna happen anymore. I have hunted in past years with some older guys, we all have quads, they were not available this year or my quad. And i see people complaining about old guys using a quad too.
I did feel really foolish using those electric scooters at some of the stores, but not any more, at least i can get around the store in them.
In my area, most of the handicap parking is usually taken in front of the stores, you have to drive around to get a free spot.
as to 4x4 vehicles with the plates, i had a friend a few years ago, he did not have use of his legs, drove around in a jeep with plates. He had caught a machine gun burst across his lower back in vietnam, no more use of legs. When you saw him sitting in the jeep, it appeared like nothing wrong. But he sure as heck was entitled to any benefit he could get.
I would personally be ashamed to admit i was taking those spaces when it was not needed, just as i would be ashamed at poking at people where you don't know their issues. We had one for my mother in her late 80's and 90's before i needed one too.
There are some real knotheads on this forum, they will be lucky as they age and hopefully don't need these types of things.

The question you need to ask yourself is "did he see me park here, or not?" In all the confusion, I might have missed you, so the real question is "do you feel lucky? Well do you, punk?

Just a guess but I doubt if you have ever parked in a HC spot, ever....

I don't know of a single parking lot anywhere in Southern California that does anything more than meet the legal minimums as to number of handicap parking spaces, and that isn't very many. link

The bad thing about having so few is that they fill up fast (mostly with people that don't need it), once the parking lot fills up it doesn't really make a difference. Unless lucky the handicap wind up having to park at the back, or drive around until they can find a vacant spot a little closer.

All the people on this thread who may have conditions that qualify and may also possess the decal, for you persons to act all noble when you say "i'll save it for someone that *really* needs it.

All youre doing is saving that spot for some cretin that is dipping into that spot with grandma's placard so they can dash in and get Vape juice. Or some old guy's 20 yrs younger trophy wife in her Benz.

If you have the decal, have a limiting condition, use the the parking slot. No sense in trying to come off as a bad ass or hero.
