Arguable snce police officers are presumeably answerable to local and county authority not federal (A nit pick) Also retired cops don't seem to answer to much of anyone, except perhaps ntheir spouses, do they? In any case I agree with you The underlying feeling is that having been a minion of authority makes one a safer and less unporedictable carrier of a firearm Which then carries the hidden assumption that those of us who aren't or never have been minions of authority are inherently less safe with guns. -- Jay P Hailey ~Meow!~ MSNIM - jayphailey ; AIM -jayphailey03; ICQ - 37959005 HTTP://jayphailey.8m.com "Oh, okay.
