STOP OBAMA NOW!!

Try it, you’ll like it.



  I think it's amusing that we as individuals believe a criminals life is worth nothing and they deserve to die, however we as a society often treat them better than we do our fellow law abiding man or woman.


My stance on this is; criminals ... more »

  Trust me, things have been stirred up enough today! We all need a break. I agree though, there's nothing better than our Emergency Service providers. They're the finest this planet has to offer!

  Yah, we all get a bit goofy sometimes! That's what makes us individuals. Our Emergency Service personnel are some of the best, most dedicated people on this planet. They deserve every consideration that can be provided. It's just the right thing to do.

  And I totaly agree. Sometimes I get a goofie thaught and run with it, make people think. Someone who is willing to hurtt a police officer is more of a danger in general, they just don't care. They need to be dealt with more searously. If someone will go after a uniformed, trained and armed offical, they will have no problem going after you or I.

  "Officially" anyway, the Cops Here are not suppossed to use it, Palm Beach County anyway, but most do anyhow. They would rather face Internal Affairs than the Undertaker! I don't blame them! They are going up against Kids today with AK's, and all most have is a 40 Cal and a Shotgun!

  I have purchased a few Brands that have been stamped, L.E.Only or L.E. Edition. I think that's just a Sales Gimminck by the Companies to get you to purchase their Ammo. I know at least in Florida Cops cannot carry Hollowpoints. I don't know about elsewhere.

  They can use "lawenforcement only" ammo. Balistic vests, carry without a permit. Why? I have the same if not more training. Wht should they be able to stop a bad guy with one shot from specail ammo and I am not aloud to use it? Why do they get discounts? Around here cops make more money than the regular Joe. What makes them more valueable?
