(2,927 posts)I use mine all the time. I shoot for fun, I shoot for food and if the situation ever came to it, I could shoot to defend myself or my family. I thank G-d for never putting me in the position to have to do that -- so far. If a law was passed tomorrow to take away my right to bear arms I would break that law because I know what happens to a people when they are stripped of their right to defend themselves.
I only question the wisdom of confronting cops (decent men who acted with tact and professionalism) with a loaded weapon in a public place. So many things could have gone bad and if anyone got hurt it the young man in the video would have to accept all the blame.
My right to bear arms (and I have that right) does not give me the right to put others a risk -- and make no mistake, he was doing just that.
