A cop's transformation.

Very good read and mirrors many officers thought processes.

I do sales work and a client of mine is a retired LEO from Washington DC that has the same exact story!

Thanks for the post!

Nice read.

Good read. Wanna some 'interesting war stories' and some lessons on who should carry a gun, and who should be a 'combat training' instructor? Talk to Frank White.

 

[KG1]

Good read. Sounds like he recognizes that not just cops but everyone deserves a fighting chance with the tools at their disposal against an armed individual with intent to do grave harm.

If left to the anti crowd all we would have is an empty hand.

Good article.

Great article. Living in the midwest, however, most people I will come in contact with that are all for "gun regulation" can easily dismiss this article. They don't see the almost war zone like atmosphere he describes as having any relevance to their lives.

I'd like to hear from the cops that work the smaller towns. I have patients that are Frankfort PD, most people that live in small towns would be blown away at the violent crime that happens. They see the news about Indy crime all the time and have no idea how many evil people exist everywhere.

There needs to be an interview with a group of LEO from the smaller towns that don't make the typical news. That would be more of an eye opener to the people that are 'middle of the road', and 'on the fence' about the concept of whether guns should be more or less regulated by the government.

Awesome read! Gonna pass this over to my BIL who is retired IMPD. We just had a very lengthy conversation that Open Carry is not a gray area in Indiana, it's 100% legal with your pink.

Thanks for the article Denny

46 Precinct, The Bronx, aka "The Alamo". Place is still nuts.

Great article, hopefully this gets passed around LE circles.

Good read

Very good read. How does that jive with the 'militarization' of police. I would guess that comes from the administration side of police work.

Nice find. Great article.
I remember a time I visited the Bronx and seen dozens of chained bicycles, well, they were bicycles until the wheels were stolen from them. That was probably 40 yrs. ago.

It came from a co-worker on Facebook, it's going around.

I read this earlier today and it is indeed a great read. It's an eye opener as well and should be read by other law enforcement personal who serve in areas that have exceptional gun control and/or high crime rates.

1. I admire that guy's candor and humility.
2. Sometimes people who were raised with wrong values will get to the right place if they are open to recognizing truth.
3. I am never going to New York.

"3. I am never going to New York."
Amen to that brother. You couldn't pay me to go visit.

I shared this yesterday - thought some of my "circle of friends" could benefit from reading it. Good for him to realize that what he had always thought to be true didn't make any sense, and to correct himself accordingly.

A great read. I hope we can see more instances like these. Officers in support of carrying have more sway over fence-sitters than we do, sometimes.
