If anyone thinks this article was fair and balanced and decent needs to go back and carefully read it.
I went back and carefully read it, Lt. Twice. The second time very slowly, searching in vain for the slightest sign that the article was somehow not fair, balanced, or decent, with only one exception: "In time, perhaps concealed carry laws will pass in those jurisdictions that don’t allow them, and citizens can move on to concealed carry as a means of carrying a weapon legally if they so choose."
Even here, his "if they so choose" indicates he believes the choice should be left up to the citizen.
Given the fact this article was written by an LEO and predominantly to other LEOs, I can't find a thing wrong with it. If you have, you should quote the offending excerpts and critique them here, instead of merely issuing a blanket statement in which you share the article is useless, but without detailing how or why.
Decent article...written by a LEO..... I liked the sidenote towards the end... which has been my philosophy all along.....
+1. Good article, good sidenote, and good philosophy!
Also, Outdoorsman1, good observation on your part!
