agreed...

I’m watching Leave it to Beaver with my kids right now...and those times counted on the individual to be responsible for his/hers actions...

Things have changed...

Obama mentality: “You didn’t shoot those people - someone else put that gun in your hand and pulled the trigger!”

We do have to get back to be and demonstrating personal responsibility and accountability. Agreed 100% with your comment.

Agree 100% with your comment. Show of force is a deterrence.

Reagan even stated so!

You are correct that California is rather restricted. However, Oklahoma passed open carry legislation recently.

Since all samurai carry two swords (daisho), it seemed dishonorable to fight and die while wielding only one, to fail with a weapon yet undrawn. The Book of Five Rings

A suprisingly calm ending to this story with no botched raid or dead dog.

Cookeville police learned their lesson on shooting dogs some years ago when some desk jockey was sent out on a call and shot a bouncy, tail-wagging dog that was caught on dash-cam.

Unarmed patrons are nothing but targets to liberal nutjobs.

I suspect that the officers did not leave their wepons in their cars while informing the citizens they must disarm.

My respectful, quiet response would be “Sir, you’re carrying yours.”

(Of course, my assumption could be wrong...in some alternate universe where government agencies follow the rules they set for the rest of us.)

This happaned while I lived on Long Island, and sounded the death knell for my patronage of movie theaters:

Mind you, that was in 1990!

Open carry vs. concealed ... I would rather not have some idiot college mush brain wimpy kid, or an eating-greens manager, ruin my night out, because I choose to be prepared to defend my life, if that situation ever ( ‘do not tempt fate’), arose.

Sunsets are gorgeous. But going across one of the NYC bridges on a brisk night, with the whole city before you lit up like a galaxy - it's breathtaking. Every person should see it. I think the Chrysler building is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
