So a court had to strike down an NFL rule... Think about that. The NFL makes rules that seem to apparently have the force of law.

Then Citizens should bring theirs as well.

Or NO ONE should.

Cops aren’t a separate class of Citizen, and if THEIR lives are worth protecting, then so is everyone else.

Imagine, if several thousand fans showed up peaceably armed, concealed. What are they going to do, remove ALL the paying fans?

If you don’t exercise your right, you HAVE no right.

doubtful. the logic is they are trained experts and officers of the court, more trustworthy than a citizen. they also have blue wall protection we don’t.

it will not. the judges who think thisis great hate armed citizens. they kow the laws that allow armed officers are the same that allow armed citizens, yet they will make excuses not to apply them equally.

police with guns == good

citizens with guns == out of control’wild west shootouts. yet experience shows cops do spray and prays under tense situtions and ccw holders do not, and use fewer rounds and hit their targets more than cops do.
