The World's Nicest Cop - Jokeroo

The World's Nicest Cop - Jokeroo

The cop handled it well. However, here's my question. Why is the citizen carrying a gun openly without it being loaded, but he's got a camera with him? I am a supporter of open carry where it is legal. I've done it myself here in NC where we have the right to open carry. But I've never carried a gun - a tool for my self defense - without any rounds in it. I usually have my camcorder with me, too, although considering the time it took for the camera to begin rolling and the cop to reach him, something tells me the guy had his in his hand. So what I got from this video was that the guy carrying the gun was looking for a cop to approach him so he could video tape it and complain about being mistreated by the cop for exercising his right to open carry... which is something I do NOT respect. Go ahead a record what happens with cops for your protection, I do respect that. But don't go out looking for a run in with a cop to record.

NRA-ILA :: U.S. Senate Stands with NRA in Strongly Opposing U.N Gun Control Efforts

NRA-ILA :: U.S. Senate Stands with NRA in Strongly Opposing U.N Gun Control Efforts

Canton PD Notification Arrest & Officer Conduct

 

Check out around 13:30 minutes into the video. Any argument the cop had before that was pretty much over. 
I have a lot of respect for police officers. Nothing will ever change that. There are the choice few out there that don't deserve to wear the badge. It's a matter of too much power in the wrong hands. But I believe the majority of police out there are doing their jobs well. I'm glad the few like the idiot in this video get weeded out.

NRA Petition to Fire Eric Holder

NRA Petition to Fire Eric Holder
While these leaked cables exposed the lies propping up Obama's gun control agenda, administration officials at the highest levels pushed a strategy to fit their gun control aims.
In a display of corruption and arrogance that's shocking even for this Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) launched Operation "Fast and Furious" -- an illegal pipeline for shipping guns into Mexico.
With our government's full knowledge and complicity, BATFE higher-ups ordered firearms dealers to sell these guns illegally to straw purchasers. And it wasn't just a few guns... It was over two thousand!!!
According to just emerging reports, BATFE officials actively supervised the commission of felony violations by merely monitoring this criminal activity instead of enforcing the law and blocking the sales.
At the time, BATFE agents protested the insanity of Operation Fast and Furious, and the sheer stupidity of letting thousands of illegally purchased guns just walk over the border into the hands of criminals.
But BATFE supervisors pushed back saying, "If you want to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs."
One of those "eggs" broke on the night of December 14, 2010.
That night, 40-year old Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was in a remote Arizona canyon with a six-member tactical team that encountered a group of armed Mexican illegals.
Sources said that the "illegal entrants" were in Arizona to rob cartel drug mules and other illegals. In the initial skirmish, the Border Patrol agents fired low-velocity shotgun beanbag rounds and were met with 7.62x39mm return fire.
Officer Terry died in the exchange. And when the bandits fled, they left behind two AK-style rifles that were traced to sales made under the Fast and Furious operation.
The ugly truth of this conspiracy is the hardest of all to swallow, because it was all a frame-up against gun owners and the Second Amendment. And right now, the only hope of getting the truth out about all of this is you.
Senator Charles Grassley (IA) and Representative Darrell Issa (CA) are defending our Second Amendment rights and fighting for justice for Agent Terry by holding Congressional hearings on Fast and Furious.
But they're being stonewalled by Obama, Holder and others who are bent on sweeping the truth under the rug.

5 Ridiculous Gun Myths Everyone Believes

Even in gun-crazy America, most of us aren't shooting things as part of our day-to-day routine. So most Americans actually know very little about guns. Hollywood writers realized this a long time ago and, being writers, used it as an excuse to never do any fact-checking ever again.

I don't know if I agree with the above statement - there actually is a gun owning majority in the USA - but the article has some great things in it to look at if you don't know a lot about guns or want to wake someone up.
