Hubby shot her. Hubby was a parole officer. Hubby was an "only one."

What's an "only one"?

We're forever being told that the military and the police are the "only ones" who should have firearms.

There's swaggering on both sides of the fence and I think we all know that generalizing about the "other side" is foolish.

Speaking for myself, I have profound respect for the men and women who serve as LEO's. It's a thankless job. I don't see how they do it. I can't believe the amount of patience it takes to be a LEO.

The CCW debate got ugly here locally in Columbus and I'm telling ya right now, some of the ugliest, meanest, nastiest things tossed my way were uttered by LEO's. Do I let those individuals color my view of every LEO? NO! But I tell ya, those "gentlemen" were perfectly content with painting all private citizens with the same broad brush. I feel bad for them frankly. They are very much of the "only one" mindset. They reflect badly on their dept IMHO.

My "only ones" comment is derived strictly from the anti-gunners who constantly tell us that only the military and the police should have firearms. From a historical standpoint, that's social suicide but beyond that, no one's perfect and that includes the members of the military and the civilian police forces. I see nothing there that makes them genetically superior.

The overwhelming majority of gunowners in this country are law abiding folk who aren't a problem but unfortunately, our enemies desperately want to lump us all into one bad guy basket.

I meant no offense to anyone but the anti-gun crowd, but obviously I'm tired of being stereotyped. My profound apologies to those who I may have offended. (except the anti-gun crowd. Take your sad cynicism and pound sand.)

I have invested many thousands of my own $$$'s in acquiring training in the defensive use of firearms. I have made the effort to do this right and do it sensibly.

I am not the problem. I resent anyone who implies that I am.

Hopefully I have expressed my views adequately here so all understand where I'm coming from.

Tim, I think you should consider donating your Wilson to the "Bullit Benevolance Fund" to repent for your "offense".

Ha! Like that's ever going to happen. I hear this "Bullit Benevolence Fund" is a front organization for some kind of whacky gun-clinging anti-Socialism group. Probably on a dozen different terrorist watch lists I'm sure.
