Are the majority of anti gun cops you know a younger bunch? Just curious. When I was on the job, cops my age weren’t anti gun. It also depended on where they were from.
Yes, they are a younger bunch. In addition to that I have a problem with the whole law enforcement philosophy seemingly changing. It starts with the training of new recruits. It seems all predicated on protecting themselves and their colleagues rather than serving the public. Much of it is exercises concerning fire or don’t fire with realistic simulations. That seems innocent enough in itself but when you see traffic stops with a passive perp laying on the ground and six cops around him with guns drawn and pointed directly at the passive perp you wonder why the shrill attitude and why they consider the perp a threat. It is a wonder more innocent people don
t get killed by guns being accidentally discharged..
That breeds an attitude of “me above you”.
That is the main point so no need to bring up exceptions to dispute what I say. I am talking specifically about an attitude of us above the public which is being instilled through training.
Tennessee laws are strict regarding handgun carry. Most all carry is illegal, tca 39-17-1307. Police in TN have harrassed me for open carring. I carry legally and will defend my rights. Many who have wrote on this thread don’t seem to understand freedom and the Second Amendment. It’s unfortunate.
