A (Necessarily Anonymous) LEO's Comments on Our Gun Free Venues

"Many in our [federal law enforcement] agency have been piously critical of the lack or preparedness at Fort Hood.

"However, when one goes to our academy for in-service training, he [or she] is asked at the gate if he [or she] is armed.  When we answer in the affirmative, we are instructed to 'secure' all weapons and ammunition in one of their storage lockers immediately.  Possession of a firearm on campus (aside from transporting an unloaded weapon to and from ranges) is prohibited. The academy  staff obviously doesn't trust any of us with guns.

"Of course, any sensible professional who carries daily and has even a modicum of self-respect, ignores such demeaning and preposterous rules, with utmost disdain!

"For one, I remain armed, there and everywhere else, in contemptuous defiance of their 'rules.'

"We Feds dare not criticize Fort Hood's 'gun-free' policy, because we, due to cowardice, paranoia, and stupidity, exercise the same delusional mentality, for  the same reason.

"We don't even trust each other!"

Comment: Once again, so long as we have paranoid/delusional/political  'managers,' far more interested in keeping their jobs than they ever will be in doing them, we won't need enemies!
