And folks are required to drive with seat belts attached. Folks are supposed to wash their hands after using a restroom. Folks aren't supposed to throw their litter from their car windows.That cop will have his weapon properly holstered, not tucked into his waistband. That cop will have completed thorough training in handling that weapon, not "Pa teached me to shoot". That cop is there to enforce the laws, not take the law into his own hands.So i guess you freak out when police officers enter an establishment....
So, yes, I'd feel infinitely safer with a policeman carrying a weapon into a restaurant than any other gun toting hillbilly.
Concealed carry permits require proper holstering of weapons, as well as safety training. Often CCW holders practice FAR more often than police officers.
And your contempt of your fellow citizens is noted.
I guess the inner fascist in you is comforted by the uniform of state authority.
There are a lot of requirements to keep our society safe and clean and all too often, they are ignored. Do you actually believe that each and every weapon carried by citizens is properly holstered? Why are so many people shooting themselves with the guns they carry for...get ready for it...THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY?
If I brought a gun into my house, do the chances of me being harmed by a gun in my house go up or down? Of course the chances go up that I might be harmed by a gun in my house once I put a gun in my house! If there's no gun there, the only way I could be harmed by a gun in my house is if someone else brings one there. And if they bring one there, it's malicious intent. So, even if I did have a gun there, the chances of my gun or his gun harming me go way up.
Let's extrapolate that to schools and businesses. If I bring a gun to the restaurant, do the chances of me being harmed by that gun go up or down? If I did not bring a gun to the restaurant, the chances of me being harmed by a gun go way down because...get ready for it...I DON'T HAVE A GUN WHICH CAN HARM ME!
