Then Officer ADAM A. MEYERS goes on to say...
"I believe that there is no credible evidence that carrying a concealed firearm reduces crime.."
Well, Officer ADAM A. MEYERS, which is it? Your arguments are based on "the one hand" and then "on the other hand". Just what is the difference between a trained lawful citizen and a retired LEO? Is a retired LEO more responsible than a citizen, or is that just your biased opinion, Officer Meyers?
Ever since 10 Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies emptied more than 120 rounds from their service pistols into an unarmed suspects vehicle, wounding him non-fatally four times, I do not believe that law enforcement personel can lay claim to any special firearms knowledge or wisdom or restraint.
"Ever since 10 Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies emptied more than 120 rounds from their service pistols into an unarmed suspects vehicle"
Do you recall that a number of houses in the neighborhood were hit by some of those 120 or so rounds?
I've commented in the past on the low standards lately for SoCal PD's and now believe it or not LAPD now wants to allow former dopers to join up. Not recreational pot smokers either.....felony class stuff......amazing.
