    I think he is trying to make the point that the officer has a right to be concerned about his own safety. Can you blame him? Just read through some of the threads on INGO about how LEOs are viewed. The hatred spewed is limited only by the hated mods.

    My post earlier was to suggest that if a LEO treats me with respect, acts professionally, I can accept him taking precautions. I know, it is a trade off. But I also know I need that officer to keep the fools and psychopaths in check. All of us on INGO are prepared to defend ourselves, but if the LEO will do it for us I think it wise to let him/her do so. LEO is far better trained than I.

    The LEO cannot protect us. Odds are they will be minutes away when we need them.

    If they are that scared they should not be pulling people over, go bust a drug dealer or stop a rape or a robbery.

    Quit handling guns on the side of the road, you can play with them at home or at the range, not on the friggin side of the road.

    Just to clear things up...

    The quote you all appear to be searching for is,

    If you're not a liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 40, you have no head.
    and it is generally attributed to Winston Churchill. However many believe that the quote is ACTUALLY,
    Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.
    and is attributed to a French statesman by the name of Francois Guisot.

    The younger generation has a totally different world view, including what constitutes 'abuse'. What my dad called a 'gentle reminder' would go viral on youtube now.
    No kidding, same here... then CPS would be bangin' on the door.

    I can't see that anyone has been abusive.

    I didn't think so either. I've seen WAY worse here.

    Hey, PKendall...how old are you, anyhow?
