Hahaha! Thank you kind sir :-)

I am in accord ma'am. oops

I love hearing that! That's fantastic that you both carry. My husband is in the industry, so I will just say we are enthusiastic second amendment supporters. There are quite a large number here in the gulch, so I'm sure you'll find a lot of common interests.

Believe it or not I live in Michigan where I do carry open and concealed. I am originally from south of San Antonio Texas about 30 miles. Little town called Pleasanton. Moved to Michigan 22 years ago and still have the accent and the manners. Hard to break an old habit. I have a Ruger .44 Mag Super Blackhawk and a few other weapons so now you know I understand your feelings. I am in the business where I do carry and my wife also.

2:00am seems about right.

Yepper. Lol, you don't have to call me ma'am. It's very polite of you, though. It reminds me of when I used to live in Virginia. :-) Do you live in the nutmeg state?

A finger slip. My apologies OA.

Yes mam and Taurus also.

I agree with that, but I don't think banning some type of weapon rises to that level. Police officers can keep an oath to the Constitution and still enforce questionable laws, such as the entire drug war, bans on types of weapons, and enforcement of free-speech zones. They can disagree with the courts and the law makers and still follow their decisions.

At what point it moves beyond a light and transient political disagreement into something that merits quitting policing or active resistance is a tricky question.

That's ok really. I had a nice chuckle over it. :-)
At least Colt is still here, and Ruger.

Apologies mam. Many. And you are right there were many, but there are still a lot.

There used to be many more.
By the way, you couldn't know this, but I'm actually a 'Mrs.' :-)

I've had my own interactions with a Virginia state trooper and also a CT trooper. The one in VA was a total a$$, and it wasn't because I was speeding. I was a passenger in a car that was hit by a semi, and wound up hanging over the guard rail of an overpass bridge. The CT one was at the scene of an accident my husband was in 5 years ago. Very nice guy. The VA one I can see slamming his way into someone's home. The Ct trooper wouldn't enforce it.

Ironic where one of the great states where Gun Manufactures started. Non_ mooching by most accounts you sir are right. I have not heard or seen any officers pushing their own agenda. Yet.

Oh yeah! Nice, OA. :-)

Wow! A two for!

I can see a bit of that here, although our cops seem like a pretty decent bunch.

Thank you :-)

It takes just a few. Although the Staties seem to have the greater percentage of peckerheads.

good one

You have to ask yourselves: what makes someone decide to become a policeman in our society today? And what kind of recruits are our police academies accepting?

The police are, of course, one of the three core functions of government that Rand said must remain. But the arguments of the Rational Anarchists are getting more difficult to answer every day. Every time an ordinary patrolman makes a remark like this, that makes some people think ALL cops are potential bullies.

All I know is that I would not want to be the cop that kicked in my door. This guy has a screw loose.
