Reply #102: What, again?

I train along side their instructors. Some of them are downright UNSAFE - Casually pointing guns around (at the rest of us) without any regard for muzzle disipline. Their fingers are inside the trigger guards all the time.

I see the end products all the time at the range and they stink.

I see the news stories on the TV every time some cop accidentally shoots someone. (Twice in the last few months in Houston.)

So you're a retired sheriff and ex-judge. Big fat hairy deal. You're obviously one of those who believe that cops are the only people with the super-human capacity for intelligence and judgement required to go armed. I invite you to climb down off your high-horse and take a look around at the real world. Your fears are unjustified and demonstrably irrational. Roughly 220,000 CHLs in Texas and I'm still waiting to see the rivers of blood in the streets that were predicted by they nay-sayers.
