I literally cannot understand the context in this. Please clarify what you are saying or calling me?
I reread this. Lol I dont sleep better at night because of Leo's. The military yes. But again I'm not at war when I choose my caliber and gun configuration.
I have friends that are Leo's. I shoot competition matches with Leo's. I dont count on them to help me sleep. Trust me I dont need them.
In the grand scheme of things they cannot do their job as it should be done. Not there fault but nevertheless.
I live in a small town. Every meth head, thieve and POS is busted and back out causing trouble the next week. Our jails are over full and they have no choice.
Just had a drug bust 4 houses down a few nights ago. A gun go off a month ago with some sorta drive by thing a block away. If anything Leo's and laws are hindering me from keeping myself safe.
The Leo's never get there in time why would I expect them too for me?
It might be different in a city but not here. Leo's dont do a thing but collect money from honest people with stupid victimless crime.
Sorry about that. I was tired and didn’t proofread before posting.
I have spent my adult life in uniform, military and law enforcement. This was a personal choice to live my life in the service of others. I do not look down on those that did not serve their country in the military or their community as a LEO. These jobs are not for everyone.
The comment about you sleeping better at night was not because someone is protecting you. It’s that you most likely sleep better then I do. Not being able too sleep good is just part of the price that some of us pay for the things we’ve done.
Just because you can hunt, target shoot, or even shoot with LEOs, it’s not the same as shooting at people that are shooting at you.
Just think if there were no LEOs. Criminals would do as they please and we would all sleep good at night.
Maybe my point was not clear, I do tend to ramble at times. But here it is. People that have not used fire arms in combat, law enforcement, or been in a real shooting, seem to think they know better then those that have.
I have carried 40 S&W and 9mm during my 18 years as a LEO. I carry a 9mm right now with Speer Gold Dot JHP. I’ve seen what this ammo does on the human body , it gets the job done.
Does it matter if you like 40 S&W better? Not really. You should carry what makes you feel safe.
