Quit trying to compare yourself to LEOs because you own a gun. To be honest, I don't think you belong on this forum. I feel you are a liability to my freedoms. But since I am not a moderator... here you stay
You got a major problem it seems. I have not done anything wrong but express my views that citizens should be able to carry and I believe that it could be a deterrant to crime. Many others have voiced the same belief, I suppose they should banned too? You are bit hostile, sir, no offense.
You sound a bit fascist, perhaps you should take a position in Barack Obama 's cabinent for hushing up citizens who like to express their beliefs.
Personally, people like you are the reason why us citizens continue to consider to be victims. I know there is many civilians who can outshoot and are perfectly capable of defense and protecting citizens to any police officer. Being a police officer doesn't make you a God and in many inner cities, the police are nowhere to be found, but vigilant citizens have to keep their own neighbrhoods in order.

I cannot believe a high roader would make such a statement. I never compared myself to anyone at all. I have much respect for the police, military and greatly respect how they put their lives on the lives to protect citizens. However, I don't like authorities who go around acting holier than thou and trying to teach citizens they are incapable and helpless. That type of statemetn doesn't belong on THR, IMHO. And police cannot be everywher eand everywhere. Also, in some cities police really are not very helpful. I was witnessing crack dealers operating on a street corner in San Fran and a police officer who awas obviously paid off or just didnt care, was sitting on the other side of street watching out for them or just didn't give a flying hoot. What to do when authorties fail to carry out their duties and leave citizens lives at risk? I never made any of the harsh claims you are saying I have. I know many military people who have served in combat and have more battle experience than police officers and still don't have the legal right to open carry or the protection and rights police have.
Anyhow i don't want to get in a food fight with you. I come here for gun knowledge , not heated political debates. You are being quite harsh to say I don't belong on a gun forum because I advocate open carry and CCW as a deterrant factor of attacks from criminals.
Go read the NRA website and you will see nothign I am saying hasn't been said there.. Maybe we should boot all NRA members off the site too, to make you happy?
DEMOCRACY is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. LIBERTY is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. - Thomas Jefferson
BTW.. I find your signature a bit ironic.. You are saying i should be kicked off THR, because I am contesting the vote of the wolves? Or should the lamb, just depend on the sheep dog to save him and say I am helpless and defenseless because I couldn't possibly handle a firearm effectively in the presence of wolves?
