Chris, I agree that not having the weight on is a relief. I enjoyed the week that I was in CA and WA without the weight. Of course I was also constantly aware that I was unarmed and that caused some anxiety. I think the real pleasure for you was that you could disarm and really not worry about needing it for a short while. I believe that all of us would love to not feel the need to be constantly alert and always armed. Even a few minutes of this is a wonderful pleasure and a much greater one than just having the weight off.
Would that we lived in a country where that kind of complacency would not be a dangerous thing. We don't however and we must take our little pleasures where we can and then go back on duty as sheep dogs.
