So, the officer felt threatened or privileged? Not really following you.

His question was clear to me ... I see tigers at the zoo but I don’t feel threatened by them and I wouldn’t feel threatened if I saw a glimpse of a gun being carried by someone that did not appear to be up to something.

[forehead slap] Obviously the "threatened" part was understandable. It was the "privileged" part that was giving me trouble. The only thing I could think he meant to ask was if the officer felt privileged to be able to jump out of his car and accost the guy, but as I typed the reply, I'm thinking he meant "entitled" or "superior", as if only cops should be allowed to go armed. If so, I don't care HOW they guy feels so long as he only enforces laws that are actually on the books.
