cmort, I love guns and gun rights. My jobs required me to open carry in uniforms for over 36 years. It`s far from being a novelty for me. On top of that I have the utah cc permit since I retired. I am just pointing out if you legaly concealed carry as opposed to legaly open carrying you wont be so apt to be questioned or shook down where ALL of these accidental killings happen.
Also the incidents that I gave happened with supposedly some of the worlds best trained officers were involved. All of them in that area no doubt see more real action in weeks than some village or county mounties in rual areas do maybe in their careers!
I am not trying to be a smart *** here, but I do have a lots of experiance in life rubbing shoulders with countless leo and ex leo that I mostly worked with and have heard all of their war storys for 40 years.
It isnt a perfect world and never will be. I am just trying to point out a safer way to carry if your going to.
Probley every LEO or ex LEO that reads this has similar storys.
