Precisely why I don't work for a govt entity. As far as I'm concerned, NO-one has the right to search my car EXCEPT police. If you are TRAINED in how to USE said .45, then great. If you TRAIN in how to use it in a high stress situation, even better. If you DON'T train, you won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn anyway so I won't hide behind you. And when I get thrown in jail for killing the fuck who kills or shoots any of my family, I'll still have my martial arts....Thats something NO-ONE can take away from you or prevent you from having.
