He explained how police officers are trained to regard the presence of handguns as a potential threat.
One answer to your question. Constantly thinking the world is out to GET you, is poor training, and will result in certain things happening that are at best undesirable in a society especially when only one side is sure to be armed.
My question was mainly to point out the hypocrisy of Lori Saldaña, D-San Diego with her viewpoint that police should be armed while the rest of us should not.
That would be profiling, and should inflame the lefties.
I would agree that walking around carrying an unloaded handgun, “just because you can” is moronic. It is in no way going to accomplish anything useful and is certain to cause the easily offended to become apoplectic.
If you really want to accomplish anything regarding freedom to enjoy your Constitutional rights, the method should involve replacing every politician that believes they have to pass laws to control everything they don't agree with.
