We just did the Restore the Constitution "Open Carry" rally in Atlanta's "Little Five Points" among the "Urban Outdoors-men". When we first showed up, one of the officers walked over and expressed his appreciation and said that if we came by more often, his job would be a lot easier.
When we arrived, there were the usual "regulars" hanging around the park, about an hour into the rally the park was bare... well except for us, the cops and the libs wetting all over themselves at the sight of a weapon... Well actually there were A LOT of weapons there. ;-)
Before we left, another officer came over and said thanks! He said that our presence, even for one day, would depress crime in that area.
Sing it, brother. There are LOTS of good cops; they’ve just got to shake loose from the thugs with badges. And I’ll include Bill in that — he’s just had some horrible experiences, and fallen under the influence of some very bad people. He’s not a bad guy; he’s a good guy who keeps doing bad things, and my hope is that, after some consequences for his bad behavior, he’ll find his way. You don’t expect a puppy to stop making messes in the house without correcting his behavior, after all.
