Quote:I was in the Moe's on SR 13 (San Jose) in Julington Creek @ Racetrack Rd with my two boys.

 

Daddy has guns. plenty of guns. Carries one just about everywhere he goes....

 

Cop walks in, head to toe in Tactical garb.

 

Armor plated vest, check, complete with POLICE tactical patches.

Thigh rig, check. BOTH LEGS NO DOUBT!

Belt with fullsize pistol, and about 6 mags, check.

Handcuffs and ziptie cuffs, check.

Then, the thing that really made me stare in awe was the fact that he thought that the two pistols on his thighs and the one on his hip weren't enough...dude had a holster velcroed to his plate carrier with yet another freakin pistol.

 

Homie looked like he was coming home from Fallujah. It was ridiculous. Scared my kids, thinking there was some serious crap going down. No, bro just needed a Homewrecker...

 

So did you talk to him and ask him what was going on?  Probably not.  You have no idea what he was doing.

 

I'll let you in on a little secret.  It's common practice for most police officers to carry more than one firearm.  It's also common practice to carry other weapons, and that's just a "regular patrol" officer.

 

Here's a hypothetical for you.  What if "serious crap" did start going down all of the sudden?  Would you be glad that "homie" was armed and trained the way that he was, or would you rather have him being "Barney Fife"?
