” - - - while on duty.”
My totally hypothetical example specifically said OFF DUTY Policeman.
We Conservatives conserve bullets for legal hunting of game animals, and rely on our tax dollars to provide bullets for policemen to protect us from shooters.
Cops will find a way to get around this inconvenience.
It also involved an officer who became legally drunk (.08 BAC + ) after one beer.
The man’s weight would be so low (below 100 pounds) that you would suppose him a young kid or teenager who put on Daddy’s uniform than you would suppose him an officer.
Pulling a gun in self defense (protecting one’s self from a gunman) is a conservative virtue.
Demanding a government employee to protect one’s self is a liberal expectation.
I carry my own weapon because I am NOT a sheep. I am perfectly capable of neutralizing a "shooter" on my own...because when seconds count; the police are busy infringing on some other citizen's Constitutional Rights.
Don't lump me in with your fantasy of what a "conservative" is.......there is nothing "conservative" about restricting your 2nd Amendment rights to "legal hunting," nor is there anything "conservative" about waiting to die while hoping for some union slug to save your sorry ass.....especially when SCOTUS has ruled the police, EVEN WHILE ON DUTY, have no responsibility to save you; they can sit idly by, while watching you get robbed, mugged, raped, and murdered.
Thankfully, Virginia allows you to carry in a bar so long as you aren't drinking and have a BAC of .00.
Good Lord, when did this country get overrun by so many limp wristed sissies? 'officer officer, save me.'
My ammunition (the "bullet" is just the lead part) is not for hunting. And in my observation, cops, drunk or sober, are not for protection. They're mostly revenue enhancers on the highways and thugs in the cities. You're mileage may vary.
