Joe Saxon,
Rant, sir it would serve no purpose,
There you go again with putting the sin of spin on things. You are the one ranting because I simply said "We need people who are serious about getting involved in the legislative process and help us get laws changed and send a message to LEO's who might abuse their authority and disarm law abiding citizens. We can do it."
Now, where in my comment do you see me SPECIFICALLY singling out LEO's? Nowhere. Was my comment not PC enough for you? Well I am happy to dissapoint you because I do not speak in PC terms. And before you say it, let me say it for you "message to LEO's who might abuse their authority".. Key word.. "might" implying that not every LEO will overstep their bounds to enforce their own personal agenda. But there are the few who do. No legislative process is going to change that. They have to be shown that law abiding citizens have as much right to carry for means of self defense as they do.
Further more if you had read my ENTIRE post instead of picking it apart piece by piece and ranting about the one sentence, you would have known that my agenda is about getting involved in the legislative process in addition to changing LEO attitude towards RTC. Unfortunately we have 2 bracnhes of government to deal with, the legislative and judicial. I would like to think that by changing one you can change the other, but some how I think they both are going to have to be changed seperately.
I attacked your credibilty, hardly you have no credibilty with me, for me to attack
Taking more cheap shots again. I have answered your question and I really don't give a rat's ass whether or not you believe me, so you can take it or leave it.
You seem to have a problem with anyone who would disagree with you.
No sir, I have a problem with people who come across like a smart ass for no particular reason.
I have neither the time nor inclination to explain myself to you
Explain yourself? You more or less beated around the bush. But if acting like a pompous arse is your way of explaining yourself, then so be it.
Hawkeye,
I think a relatively few uninformed LEO's are the least of our problems. I'm with Joe - stick to the legislative processes and the rest will change as the environment changes.
I am compelled to agree, but let me ask you this my friend. If changing the legislative process will change the rest, the how come with the states that have enacted RTC legislation we have incident after incident of a law abiding citizen being stopped, disarmed, and hassled about carrying a firearm? Now granted it is not a widespread problem, but I don't believe it is as isolated as you may think, especially here in GA. Just last year there was a guy that was hassled for openly carrying and threatened with arrest and he was doing nothing wrong. What about the gentlemen who was arrested at the Locust Gorve mall 2 years ago because the LEO said he was carrying to a public gathering? It is not as isolated as you think my friend.
