100% YES and Excellent idea. I work alot, ALOT, but would definatly take a day for this. And i agree with the "getting to know eachother" formula. When i have to deal with an officer who is polite and understanding, i am always sure to ask thier name and give them a positive "Thank You" hoping that next time they might remember me and go "Oh, this guy's nice and friendly, cooperative too.." - at least thats the intention. Not that i intenetionally look to get stopped - lol -but itdoes happen in our modern world.
pardon.. i am longer winded in type than in person ...lol

Sounds like we need to become more familiar with the police in our towns.
I have been planning to start a range event where we invite the police or sheriff from our local community to come and shoot with us as a group. Kind of a "get to know" all the law abiding responsible gun owners and OCers so that the police will feel more comfortable with us. Its harder to be a jerk to people you know and like, than it is to total strangers. It also shows we in no way want to provoke or just parade our guns around, but rather, we're just another group of people concerned with civil rights in our country.
It would be nice to start some sort of annual OCer + LEO range & picnic event.
What are everyone's thoughts on this?
