I strongly support concealed weapon permits and am disappointed in the difficulties in acquiring them. Concealed weapon wearing civilians would ACTUALLY be effective in response, should they choose, to a critical violent event....Unlike OCers, who would simply be targeted first or have their unloaded weapon taken from them. That's why OCers "exercise their rights" at a Palo Alto coffee house and not an Oakland or Compton Popeyes...
You are tactically deficient. You believe that counter-ambushing an ambush is an acceptable tactic, and that fumble-farting with clothing under direct duress is an intelligent activity.
Why would I review, or give a crap, about MWG calls in Arizona??? Did you not read my post about different environments. I only know California; I'm only responsible for LE supervision in California.
This your 30 year failing.
Your precinct may be the one who gets sued for civil rights infringement for enforcing unconstitutional law as incorporated against your state, and specifically reinforced by
Heller. Your "Hey bro I'm only in California" commentary is cute, but not in tune with reality.
And Doc, I was on duty on 10/6 and an active participant in the manhunt. I know in your little gun-world, you imagine a different outcome if every one in that meeting was strapped...and maybe that particular meeting might not have gone down the way it did....But if you are trying to make me believe that society would be safer if everyone had a gun on their hip, in this day and age of nuetral morality, lack of discipline and no accountability for actions.....I'm going to disagree with you with every fiber of my being.....And unless you've done what I've done and seen what I've seen over these last nearly 3 decades, your opinion is not going to carry to much weight with me.....respectfully.
How pompous, arrogant, and elitist of you.
Newsflash guy. A lot of us have extensive experience in LEO or Military roles. Some members of this forum
are retired LEO with more time on watch than you. I know in your fantasy world of psychological superiority you can't see any reason anybody would want to carry a gun when your 30 year elitist badassery is around, but many of us would outright humiliate you when it comes to tactical and firearms proficiency. Some members of this forum have received anti-Terrorism training far superior to what you have received. Throwing out your "eliteness" as an officer is hilarious. I sincerely and truly mean that.
I find it humorous you have made this cute little world you believe exists, wherein you believe that everybody carrying visible firearms would lead to mass murder.
Too much time behind the desk there fella? I'm definitely thinking so.
You see, people act straight around the cops not because of your spiffy little star kid. They act straight because you know you bring a firearm, displayed on your hip, offering mortal threat for any sort of mortal wrongdoing or shenanigans they may seek to engage in.
I know you think you are far more special than that simple concept, but you are not. It
all comes down to the gun.
And over the last 3 years, I've gotten on your forum about 6 times. Each time, when an opinion differing from the site norm is given, the "Troll" title is tossed out. What the hell do you people call this a forum for??? I'm trying to give some insight into a perspective few of you share. If you don't welcome that, you might as well all sit around rubbing each other and call that a forum too.....
The reason people get referred to as trolls, is because they come in here making claims much as you do, without the legal, or other citations or evidence necessary to substantiate your claims.
You come in here insulting and fluffing your own precious, sensitive ego as if you were Gods gift to law enforcement, when on its face, you are clearly not in any way such a blessing. Step down a bit and realize you're just another human being amongst other human beings with not only more years in service than you, but far more training. Exercise some humility instead of talking about your meaningless 30 years of law enforcement debauchery.
Let's see how far you are willing to go to substantiate your claims that you are not a troll, and that your opinion carries historical or other metric derived weight.
Explain how states that have embraced Constitutional carry have seen declines in crime rates whereas states or municipalities that have expressly banned firearms as a generalization have far higher crime rates.
Do that, or forever hold your peace.
