Excellent article Ron, a wealth of info on good vs bad armed citizen contacts. I have ALWAYS supported the right of the law abiding public to own firearms and to carry concealed with the appropriate licenses and training. It is a basic right bestowed on them by our Founding Fathers and....as they do it responsibly and lawfully I have no issues with it at all....[unquote]
Since when does a right require permission from the elite in control?
Oh... ever since the elite decided they needed to get rid of rights and make them all privileges they can deny or take away.
That pesky 1st amendment, almost as bad as the 2nd.
From article:
2.) Understand that — as with any belief that people feel strongly about — open carry is a form of political protest. While the majority will do what is asked of them without a lot of fuss, there will be extremists who are willing to be political martyrs by doing whatever it takes to push their agenda and raise awareness to their cause.
Thanks for the link. It's good to see open carry becoming a more discussed issue, especially within the LEO community. Pro or con, discussion raises awareness. That's what were are all about.
From the comment section...
"I'm an Officer in Arizona where Open Carry has been legal and accepted for quite some time.I'm not sure where the author gets the idea that Open Carry is a form of political protest.Open carry in Arizona is like driving a car. It's what people do. It's something that officers here have become accustomed to."
If only here in Michigan...
