As the description says. Why? Every law case [Castlerock vs Gonzales, Warren vs. District of Columbia, Riss v. New York, DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, etc. etc.] has upheld the fact they don't have to save anyone, so why do they get all of the exceptions in their case? The common citizen has better statistics of helping each other as it was the case before police forces were erected in the mid 1800s. I just don't get it especially when we are rather LEO heavy [not a bad thing] in terms of agencies, however, we as the common citizen, our rights get shredded and legislated out of the door with every Brady-minded fool. Also, I read about all these businesses make exceptions for LE but not you, their would-be or already paying customer. Where are the businesses that not only accept but promote your rights, not just some but all? Where are the signs that say, "I hope your packing, because you are responsible for you, citizen!" Open Carry should be everywhere not just rural Kansas but especially on the mean streets of Chicago, the Bronx, and Durham.
People keep talking about budgets, economy, etc. I just think if you get all of these special privileges and powers and you just show up to take notes and pat people on the back telling them you can do nothing and pull off in a car that your taxes paid for emblazoned with "serve and protect" something is very wrong. What happened to our American values? Will we turn into Mex-Ameri-Canada and everything is just on paper but not in practice?
Hard to say.
