1.If I was worried about feral hogs and cougars I would not carry an AR type weapon. There are plenty of semi-automatic shotguns and high caliber rifles out there that do not scare the low information voters and would be more effective against hogs (those hogs can get real big)..

2.When I am confronted by an LEO the first word out of my mouth, just like in boot camp, is Sir. I'm very respectful, I call them Sir or Ma'am and I go with the flow. I've never had trouble when I've acted this way. The only trouble I've had was in my younger days when I was drunk and stupid and probably deserved the treatment I got from the LEOs.

You are correct in this. Same with me. When i was younger, and/or drunk, I would get the LEO treatment. These days I say sir or ma’am. I got a ticket a couple years ago and I blame myself because I broke one of my rules - trying to explain myself/argue (a matter of perspective) - with the LEO. Don’t try to argue. Don’t try to explain. Just say sir or ma’am. Be respectful. Don’t grovel but don’t be confrontational either. Some here will say it is cowardly or you are giving them too much power, but it is better than the alternative.
