Back in the 60's I had a friend who was a cop and also worked part time security at a resort.

One day at a bus stop in a small town, he grabbed a kid and pulled a .25 automatic out of the kids back pocket.

In North Carolina the gun laws were really strict. I later asked him what he did with the kid. He said he was a college student on his way home. He unloaded the gun and gave it back to him and told him to put it in his bags.

There are plenty of cops tho who would have tried to ruin the kids life permanently for exercising his constitutional rights.

This is an officer-safety issue

And, how many police officers have been injured by CCW holders...ever?

If you want a safe job....DON'T BE A POLICE OFFICER!!

There is many instances however of CCW, illegal carrying, and unarmed citizens coming to the aid of officers who are fighting suspect(s) or in trouble of sorts. Don't take this seriously, most officer are not against carrying.

That's true. My neighbor is a PO. He would like to see a little more training on the part of people who legally carry. If you've chosen to carry, like myself, it's a huge responsibility and one should get all the training you can.

Green Bay Police in general, or a loud mouthed few union boyz on the force put up to spouting leftist propaganda by the thugs?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

You mean, this guy?

[longtermmemmory]

actually I think you have hit upon it.

If crime goes down, as it has in every jurisdiction with CCW, then the police have a harder time justifying their actions and demands for more and more money and exotic police toys.

The Constitution shall be never construed to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.

Samuel Adams

Unfortunately, it has.

[Manic_Episode]

Crime will go down, so LEO's livelihood is at stake. They have a vested, conflicted intrest and their opinion is compromised and invalidated.

“Arming more people with more guns is not going to make us safer,”

These people agree.Keep the citizens unarmed especially the petite pretty women.

Thats Bobby Joe Long A distant cousin of Henry Lee Lucas, he raped 50 women in florida before he moved up to murder he strangled 10 women to death and then posed thier bodys in obscene sexual positions for the police to find as a sidenote all of the women that he raped or murdered where unarmed at the time of thier attack wich according to this dipsh*t chief of police in greenbay is a good thing

Of course the police should realize that armed citizens have help many downed police in there time of need.

Precisely - like that good soul who gave his life stopping the madman at that courthouse in Texas earlier this year.

[kerryusama04]

I'm with you and the forefathers. Excellent post IMHO

[billnaz]

What, did the Green Bay Police Department start hiring moonbats? Somebody needs to inform them that the Second Amendment is part of the Constitution.

My dad (a lieutenant of POlice in Milwaukee) and most of the cops he knows (like, street level officers, not the brass), support concealed carry, and would rather show up at robberies where the victim is walking around and the perp is lyin in a pool of blood.
