Even though I'm about as pro-gun as you can get, I really don't like the "boundary-pushing" approach some of these citizens do...

Re: Pretty Polite and Smooth Cop
I agree with you Doc. There is a time and a place to push boundaries, those idiots were neither in the right time nor at the right place to push boundaries.

Generally speaking, I think that when a-holes look for trouble they should find it, but that cop was pretty civil, and he got his job done.
Thumbs up.
I have zero admiration for the open-carry guy.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Pretty Polite and Smooth Cop
Sometimes I think some of our pro gun brethren use 'pushing boundaries' as an excuse to be impolite and bullying. Which is in fact moving things in the wrong direction. You can't scare people into being your friends.
Officer really lived up to the moniker of 'peace officer'. We (as a society) need to rediscover & reapply that term to the application of the law. Keep the peace. Police and the law should never be about enforcing a viewpoint on how people should live.

Re: Pretty Polite and Smooth Cop
I applaud the police Officer for a job well done. As to the dingleberries pushing the boundaries, they make us all look bad. Carrying a gun into a police station wearing terrorist garb? Legal?debatable depending on local and state laws STUPID with capital S. Oh yeah. If the cop had shot the idiot in the police station he would have been the bad guy and wrong,but could you blame him,really?

Re: Pretty Polite and Smooth Cop
Although I'm against these guys who walk around displaying their firearms, and pushing buttons to get citizens and cops excited, I do applaud the cop for staying cool. But his "function check" is total BS. How do you pull the trigger on a semiauto, or full auto with nothing in the chamber and come to the conclusion it's a semiauto? His "experience" he references is limited, and his knowledge is total stuff. He's bluffing, and the gun owner knows he is. It's a case of the officer has to check the guy, but whether it's semiauto or full auto wont be discovered with his method of checking. And as the officer stated, he needs his paperwork if it's Class 3, but it's legal to carry it if he had the paperwork.
Still a stupid thing for the gun owner to be doing, as it just takes up police officer's time when these morons walk around scaring people who don't know what they're doing is legal.
