...let me get this straight.

His fear of being shot by an armed criminal, quite possibly a released felon, during a traffic stop is inferior to his fear of being shot by a person with a concealed-carry permit? Really?

The bar to get a concealed-carry permit is generally pretty high. Anything stronger than a traffic violation could prevent you from getting one.

But that's really his worry?


And it's been a couple of years, and apparently it hasn't happened yet.

So, like most dire warnings of law enforcement, it's baseless worry. But if Sergeant Hubbard is worried, then maybe he should be more polite in his dealings with the general public, and maybe his department should stop using SWAT teams to kick in the doors every time some paid informant trades in a rumor for cash.
