I'll leave off with this:

While I am required by law to OC in a rest. that serves, I am not required by law to carry a gun.

If the same scenario happened to Lima and I while acting in accordance to state law, and I was cuffed and stuffed and had my firearm confiscated for doing nothing illegal, would you be upset?

We all have choices, I choose to carry a gun where ever possible, that means I OC in restaurants that serve. Could the same thing happen to me? Possibly, but I still carry.
Of course, the same thing might happen. That is a risk we take to defend ourselves in a mostly gun unfriendly nation. (As an aside, we are among the most gun friendly nations on Earth!) Would I be upset? Not really. I would bail you out in a heartbeat and do everything to get the laws changed and the LEOs educated. I get upset that murderers, child molestors and rapists walk the streets because of lenient sentances or legal technicalities.

This is the small stuff. Concern? Sure. Uproar? Hardly.

My problem is encouraging scrutiny to make a point. There are other far more effective ways to get our point across. Opposing LEO is not a smart thing to do. People, LEO are on our side!

I look forward to reading your blog.
