Are we to assume, then, that as an active police officer who carried a pistol when on duty, you WERE a coward? If anybody who carries a gun is a coward, then you must have been back then.
It pays to THINK about what you have just typed before hitting the "Post Message" button! In other words, say what you mean, and mean what you say!
That's just assinine...He carried a gun because it was his JOB to find and disarm criminals....that's not his JOB anymore...therefore he doesn't need to carry a gun, he is confident in his abilities to protect himself and his family without needing to carry a gun. As many of us are.
