With regards to the subject at hand I do not bluff with a firearm. Nor do I wear such to look like a badass.
Since 72 I have been EOD a deputy sheriff an a goobermint contractor carrying a firearm.
Posing in public with a pistol is your right that I respect an will support yet not right for me an my day to day needs.
If you consider me less than etc then so be it..... I don’t carry to impress. You have at it .....:o)
Figures. Badges, even ex-badges, always think they have a lock on what's right in regards to firearms.
Sorry, but you are being part of the problem.
My wearing a firearm is no more about appearing to be a "bad ass" than my owning a fire extinguisher makes me a wanna-be firefighter. Thanks for the implied insult though... That'll help sway me to your side of the argument. :-|
