In my opinion this type of comment widens the gap between law enforcement and the people.texanjoker wrote:It didn't have anything to do with Texas CHL...that's why he posted it under LEO Contacts & Bloopers. If the protocol calls for carrying it with empty chamber in the vehicle, then failing to remove the round from the chamber and subsequently shooting the patrol car definitely qualifies as a blooper in my book. Doesn't have anything to do with "those in here" being perfect...just the kind of careless mistake that happens to LEO's and non LEO's alike. That's why it's called an accident.[/quotetalltex wrote:texanjoker wrote:
Not sure what this post has to do with Texas CHL
This is an inherent risk when making a rifle patrol ready as that requires one to press the trigger, in the real everybody is not as perfect as those in here,
: if I wanted to read this nonsense everyday I would visit an anti Leo website.....
Pointing out a mistake made by an LEO does not constitute LEO bashing or make this forum the equivalent of an anti-LEO forum.
Many comments about this incident were made in jest, and would have been made if this happened to a hunter or other non-LEO.
The majority of the forum members welcome the contribution of current and former LEOs.
Personally, I welcome their insight that they have obtained from their training and years of experience.
I have learned many things about the law, traffic stops, search warrants, probable cause, TABC regulations, tactics, etc from the LEO forum members.
Explanations of police procedures such a making a firearm "patrol ready" serve to educate forum members rather than divide us.
