Cops and other ‘law enforcement’ persons are not of/by training or personality law enforcers, they are today just enforcers of a self promoting cabal. A few years ago I was zeroing in my new .22 pellet rifle in our expansive backyard. I had backed a good sized picnic cooler with sound and pellet absorbing material and placed it low against a 6’ fence with no houses anywhere along the sighting. I had checked state and local laws and even called the local police office about what I was planning. There was nothing from all these contacts that told me I could not shoot let alone zero in the rifle. Towards the end of my work the doorbell rang and two cops were there. One was a middle aged woman and the other a young guy who I had the feeling was just out of school. I took them to the backyard and showed them my setup. I told then I was getting the rifle ready for some shooting on some mountain property and I had checked even with their office. The female cop said OK but make sure nothing went out of my yard to the complaining neighbor’s yard who reported I was killing birds. The young guy was a very different story. He literally puffed his chest out and told me I had to go to my other property to even shoot the rifle, my backyard set up was not satisfactory. I had been having bad vibes about cops but this experience tells me do not rely on cops or other ‘law’ enforcers to go by the laws the people supposedly pass. It even bothers me as an overseas WWII vet and only brother killed on Okinawa to see these huge memorial parades for well paid government ‘law enforcers’ when some if not many young men, who have every day and every hour been under the gun’ and killed in service for this Nation come home as just one of the ordinary citizens, no big parades.
