As those of you who have been approached by police know one of the first things they like to ask is why you're carrying. And I'm certain most of you like myself have said something akin to the same reason you do. Now, I was recently given a reason why cops carry that was too good not to share and so without further ado here it is.
"I carry because I take people's freedom away."
Yes, I told the officer I thought that was a very messed up reason to carry, and that I was certain by his answer that he didn't carry because he might have to use that firearm to defend himself against armed criminals. I'm interested if anyone else has gotten one of these splendid bs answers from an officer who just can't admit to themselves that citizens have the same right to carry that the "privileged" ones have.
