Half the training course for concealed carry in NY is how to talk to police when you get pulled over. That's a bit of an overstatement, but not much. I'll skip the bulk of the training, but being polite and keeping both hands on the wheel are key, also using the right phrases. Then there's the illegal carry faction. Used to just be "the bad guys" but I suspect a growing number of folk have chosen to stay off the books, be disobedient, and simply avoid areas with metal detectors etc. I have no actual stats on this.... no one does. |

I have known many people who would carry, illegally, in Chicago. When you have no right to carry legally, but have to go into dangerous neighborhoods, you have to choose between breaking the law and maintaining your own safety. They simply turn otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals. |

I heard BO this afternoon giving a speech about the two shootings discussed in this thread. Talked about how things have to change. Right now the news is showing live coverage of the BLM protest in Dallas. Two cops shot. Not much more info at this time. I wonder if BO will bother to talk about the cops, and if their lives matter. Best wishes for the two cops. I haven't heard anything about their condition at this point. |

I hate to turn this into politics but race relations in this country are much, much worse than when Obama took office and he is directly to blame, IMO. |
