It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #27 January 12, 2006 QuoteQuoteSometimes criminals leave police with no option, as was most likely the case here. But at the end of the day, someone is dead and a cop has to deal with the psychological fall out... Fictional news interview: Reporter: "Officer, what did you feel when you pulled the trigger on that kidnapper?" Officer: "Recoil." Have ytou ever shot and killed anyone?

juanesky 0 #28 January 12, 2006 That is a very personal question, I would advice never to ask to any military nor police. It is generally (as it seems quite a few posters won't read or understand "could", "maybe") considered rude and ignorant, unless of course you are a kid or minor."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #30 January 12, 2006 Quotethe law also says that you are not allowed to have a weapon in an establishment where the owner says you can not have one. Find me a bank that does not have the no guns allowed sign. That's too general a statement. It varies by state. Here in Texas, if a business wants to prohibit guns by licensed carriers, they are required to post a conspicuous sign on the entrance door, of a certain size, with specified exact wording, in both English and Spanish. Most business find that requirement too burdensome. So they may post their own version of a "No guns" sign, but it has no weight under the law. Someone with a concealed handgun license can ignore it and enter anyway, because the sign doesn't comply with what the law requires. It's a stupid idea to post a sign like that anyway. The guys with licenses to carry guns aren't a problem in the first place. And the bank robbers sure as heck don't pay the signs no mind. Have you ever heard of a bank robber who was dissuaded from committing a robbery because of a sign? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder : A Police Officers Report] Just because an officer answers that he felt the gun recoil after he pulled the trigger, doesn't mean that he didn't also feel PTSD later, upon reflection.

That by itself is a liability for the license holder, as by most states require you to go through weapons trainning, and know the law, if you don't want to end up in the wrong side of the bars by an act of negligence on your part. I am pretty sure he has vast knowledge about what self defense is. In this case a robber with a gun in a bank you are in, constitues a grave danger for the people inside that bank. Of course he is met here by the anti-gun crowd, were they presume that if one carries legally, you brandish your gun at every little argument you may encounter, which is false, as brandishing a weapon is clearly coded as aggravated assault, and downplay the defense of life in lieu of the agressor's rights.
