I have been in law enforcement of over 28 years, both local and federal, and I have always maintained that an armed citizenry is the best defense against crime. Any cop who disagrees isn't worthy of wearing the badge. Period.

I appreciate your point of view. In my experience, you’re in a minority of LEOs who see that having responsible people carry weapons IS a deterrent - and there’s that whole, “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away” thing, too...

Thanks for your service, TBM.

Colonel, USAFR
