skeet,

I agree with you about some cops having the "Us verses Them" mentality. After carrying a federal badge for 26 years, let me say "Only some criminals wear a police uniform!"

I love it when folks like Sarah Brady say, "Only the police and military should be allowed to carry guns." Under that scenario, many criminals will REMAIN ARMED! IMHO.

Of course outside the situation of problems with specific individuals as LEOs, those that shouldn't be carrying a badge at all, the real problem is that even the best of the best can not be there when the action starts, 99.999% of the time, unless their presence is just a fluke. The ability and means to protect yourself, when necessary, is the real issue.

This judge gets it. We need about 100,001 more like him.

I kinda hate to say this but that attitude is exactly why when the police are told to confiscate firearms they will follow orders. Oh there will be some who say..ummm NO..but they will not be in the majority and then there is also the "I got to work or I'll lose my house car kids wife"..pick yer poison..Remember Nazi Germany..but if those guys didn't follow orders..they lost their life
