nitrovic, we're absolutely NOT anti-LEO as you're so fond of saying.Yes, we do have some people that have been severely wronged by LEO's and have no bones about saying so. That's their issue. We do not ban individuals here. Hell, we have some folks here that are quite obviously ANTI-NRA (Right Doug! ), but that doesn't make us an ANTI-NRA forum.
We arePro-America, Pro-Constitution, Pro-Liberty andPro-Individual.We are alsoanti-corruption, anti-abuse of power, anti-special privileges, anti-tyranny and most certainlyanti-bullshit. Manyhere are prior military and know first hand what it means to defend the Constitution with our verylives. I retired after 20 years in the Navy and missed an awful lot of holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and family time in those 20 years. And lost my share of friends.
We aremore involved in our community and our society than most citizens and even most other gun forums and it's not because we have a vested financial interest. It's because we have an actual passion for America; for what is right. For this incredible idea that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. It's nothing more thanbeingRESPONSIBLE CITIZENS andone look around will show that more and more Americans are finally opening their eyes and not taking abuses of power from anyone anymore. It's not new and it's not only here.
Sorry, but I can't list the names of the hundred or so LEO's that have seen me OC, knew the law and continued onabout their business. But you can take it to the bank that as sure as I've condemned those who wronged me, I have equally commended those who have righted me! In fact, the only entries I've had reason to make on RateMyCop.com were both commendations.
We do happen to see and report more of those abuses than most citizens because of thenature of what we doas Open Carriers. That is;weinteract with the Police and government officials more often than most citizens. Unfortunately,more often than notthat interaction is caused by THEM notknowing the very laws they're sworn to enforce! I and many others heredo not and will not buy the "you MIGHT be dangerous" argument and neither do the courts. We don't make the laws, but we have to obey them, just like everyone else. And we certainly can't just make them up as we go.
