i look at a leo taking my gun in the same regards as me locking and tagging out a machine. i have nothing to hide so it wouldnt bother me at all.
How about searching your house?
Machines don't have rights.

Yeah, he's my friend! He is a friend that is essential to my soul. That is a word I don't use lightly and once someone is my friend, we get past differences. I will give him the same opportunity to learn his job correctly as I would hope someone gives me. Just like I learned that much of the crap I learned in basic training was wrong, maybe he will realize the same if he's given a training officer who can properly teach him. He's a reasonable person and just like Dross was able to get through to me, hopefully someone will do the same for him.
The question is, would he still be your friend? What does is take for you to cut your friends off? That was the purpose of the thread. I knew I was wrong, but I guess if you were in my shoes, he would be your former friend?
they both did say that if they stopped me for any reason they would taze me though, I can't wait.
This poll doesn't make sense and this thread is ridiculous.
To answer the question:
No, I don't care if it is my brother...I don't want him ****ting on my fellow law-abiding citizen's rights just because he may feel a bit uncomfortable. PICK A DIFFERENT JOB IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
I'm pretty sure I've made it quite clear over the years here that I'm FAR from anti-LEO(I welcome any LEO in disagreement with this statement to speak up)...With that being said, why would an officer's rights/safety trump my rights/safety?
Just because he/she has a badge makes them safer and more law-abiding than I am?
So you feel its OK for honest, law biding folks to be disarmed against their will????
Here's something for you guys to ponder...
Being retired, I frequent a dozen or so different gun forums daily... most of which usually have a "LEO Encounter" thread going (on some of these sites, it's a daily event).
The exception to this is the Arizona forum... where there has been only ONE encounter thread, since Constitutional Carry was passed.
