some are, some aren't. Depending on them all being non-trigger-happy is dumb.

New Does this also apply to law enforcement?
just asking....as you are all in heavy generalization mode at this time.
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

New Yep. Certainly do.
However, in many cases, the folks concealing and carrying here are former military (Tucson also a very large military community) and are more than likely better trained than their law-enforcement counterparts.

However, as that doesn't fit into your stereotype, I apologize for bringing that point up.

New Dude, you're completely mischaracterizing what I said
Trusting that ALL of them will be reasonable (as is the case in AZ under current law) is just nuts. All those reasonable trained conceal carry people aren't going to make one bit of difference if the guy you're next to isn't one of them.

as you were throwing it in as a carry-on from Linc's massive generalization....

My point is that its likely even-odds, or possibly better odds that the private citizen carrying is better trained that the law enforcement officer at the scene.

And when you add the Tom Brokaw thing in...well thats just silly is what that is.

New I don't know anything about the Tom Brokaw thing
I don't watch TV, let alone US broadcast news TV. And I'm not Linc.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
