I went over and read the entire thread. I saw several verified LEOs who sounded like regular joes that even if not supporting OC, supported and defended both law and Constitution. Everyone should be like this in a perfect LEO world. The other side of the coin is the "verified LEO" that posted .....
There is a move to make open carry legal in Texas, personally I'm not convinced. I have yet to meet an open carry advocate that didn't give me a strong feeling of "attention *****" about the subject.
Personally, I don't see any advantages to attracting the attention of random nitwits. .........
I am concerned about people like this. In any population group you have both good, bad, basically good w/ bad attitude, basically bad w/ good attitude. I see this individual as "I am the law" not "I uphold the law". If this type of mindset cannot be retrained and/or educated it will continue. I see LEOs as on my side. My personal backup as I go thru life. Service to community, service to country has always been very important to me. I do not know what "attention *****", I do not feel as tho I am a "random nitwit". I feel pretty focused. I am glad I live in Washington State
