wow u sound like one of those true "wannabe cops".. Just join the gd force and get it over with.. I dont really care for ppl like you.. Cant wait for an excuse to pull ur gun or stick ur nose where it doesnt belong.. Even worse than a snitch imho.
You may think as you wish ... you're very wrong. First I carry because I work in incredibly dangerous areas of town where murders and violent muggings are so common the cops are immune to it. Second I carry to protect my employer, I travel with over $3m of computer equipment and could very easily become the victim of a car jacking at any moment.
I've pulled my gun once in 5 years and that was to keep one guy from stabbing another. Under the state law I've had at least 7 more opportunities to pull and use my gun. I didn't because I didn't feel that the actions that happened were worth the reaction of pulling a gun. In those instances no one got hurt at all, despite the fact that they were 'forcible felonies' under the state law.
I chose to stop at least 1 person if not two from getting killed. IMO they both were complete a$$e$ and I'm glad they BOTH got punished for their violence. I am also glad that no one had to be mopped up because of a stabbing. I personally don't like most cops, I think they're power hungry assholes with a Napoleon complex. You may interpret as you wish but I certainly hope that if you had an opportunity to keep someone from dying that you'd take it. I do not regret my action and I didn't seek it out. I was seeking a Bacon, Egg and Cheese biscuit. If I wanted to find 'crime' to fight I know exactly where to go, but that's not my job. This McD's was in upper class suburbia, not exactly the place you expect fights to break out.
If you carried you'd understand that while the second amendment is a right that the exercising of that right carries with it a grave responsibility. That responsibility is to my family first, my self second, and the community at large third. I only pulled at the presentation of a deadly weapon that was intended to be used as a deadly weapon in a situation that did not call for it. I reacted for the preservation of life.. It saved the life of someone who for all I know could be a father or husband of someone who cares deeply. Their behavior was one that put the public in danger, wildly swinging a knife in a crowded fast food joint isn't exactly safe to the bystanders. In the end no one was hurt. How would you feel about me if I walked out the door and let the guys kill each other? Then I'd be a heartless a$$hole IMO.
