[QUOTE="rcnich, post: 855888, member: 4193"] FYI... According to FBI stats, in 2007 there were 57 police officers killed by firearms - two with their own handguns. There were 15,479 police officer assaults with injury during that year. That comes out to 4 officers killed every month, and 1,280 assaulted every month. All these officers carried guns, had weapons training and handgun retention training. Some of these officers were pretty bad-ass fellas. And yet, despite their training and guns, these officers were assaulted, injured and killed. The bad guys didn't give a damn that the officer had a gun. They didn't give a damn more than 15,000 times. So those who think open carry is some magical deterrent to ward off bad guys, you may want to reconsider. Read or re-read Michael Brown's "Is Your Gun a Weapon or a Talisman?" in this forum. Protecting your 2A rights is not the same as protecting your life. Getting the two confused will have bad consequences. [/QUOTE]
