28. I've had dealings with law enforcement carrying weapons

Wed Apr 16, 2014, 10:05 AM

Apr 2014

and I never once felt an inkling of wanting to brandish a weapon at any of them. Even if they were in the wrong.

I most definitely would not envision holding my child in front of me as a shield and then provoking said law enforcement to shoot at us just to make my point.

Not for cows. Not for some welfare cowboy's last stand.

They smartly brought guns because the goons supporting Bundy had already threatened them, BTW.

And they carry them as part of their jobs.

Try again.
