Delete comment from: The War on Guns
I have purchased guns from many cops and I often ask them how they deal with open carriers.
Most of them - particularly younger ones tell me shamelessly that they like to prone out open carriers - most will give you a platitude or two about "man with a gun" calls and having to access the situation on the fly but a few have admitted to just liking to push open carriers as a power trip and to show them up as impotant pussies.
I am sure that IN ALL CASES the underlying motive is the later.
I often ask why they would want to turn potential law abiding allies into persons that would NEVER come to their aid and it comes down to the blue line club.
This is the ultimate basis of ALL the "only ones" stories - the police view themselves above the public they serve / work for.
Face it - most police are becomming taxing authorities anyway - fighting crime is dangerouse and you always hear that they want to go home at the end of the day - Much easier to get home after a day of proning out open carriers with empty guns and people that double park than to chase "real" criminal violators
that will run or shoot or spit at you.
Better to harass people that will bend over for you willingly in fear and then appologize.
