Let’s not be too quick on condemning what Cos is saying ... he’s not calling for a gun ban, just having the wannabe cops pull back a tad. To the extent that the Watch and VCOP programs are riddled with them, I can’t say I disagree. And I’ll bet that as a result of the Martin case and the law suits that will ensue, Neighborhood Watches nation-wide will do exactly what Cos is saying. But make it a rule promulgated by the groups themselves, not by the gubermint.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Neighborhood Watch _IS_ a "gubermint" program, from stem to stern, top to bottom. Every group is registered on a .gov website.

I WILL NOT leave my home without being armed. If that means I don't participate in Goobermint Watch, I will quit right now.

Anti-self-defense jabbering on FR? Never thought I'd see the day.

We wouldn’t need “wannabe cops” if the real cops were actually doing their job. Don’t need to be a member of a “neighborhood watch” to carry a gun and watch your neighborhood. I watch my neighborhood all the time and don’t belong to any group.
