If the guy had never confronted him but had backed off like the 911 operator had advised him, would they have been fighting over the weapon? We all want to protect our property, but sometimes these police wannabe’s are probably more trouble than they're worth. I use to see the mentality when I was in the military. Suddenly the guy with one more stripe than you have is in charge of the world. Many times the people that are the most prone to misuse authority are the ones most anxious to have it.

But this is getting us nowhere. Yes, he (Rick) is gutsy - also foolhardy and a loose cannon, IMO.

For the 3rd and last time, my biggest concern was not so much what he said, although it was a huge gaffe, but his shocking inability to articulate his position convincing. I think his chances against Obama are very poor.
