LOL I love this place!!!
And he is the guy that is a MG gunner and wonders if my man who used a 50 in Korea is all there.
Hell no! He is only mostly sane LOL, just like me.
I am of the generation of cops that thinks it is ok for a non-criminal to have legal rock and roll weapons but then I am also of the generation that had people running and hiding because we had that horrible PTSD and might have a flash back.
Many years ago I gave a demonstration open to the public at our law enforcement shooting range.
I gave a brief description and then I and some of the more experienced (make that prior military) Officer fired the various weapons. The targets were various breakable objects so that it was very dramatic.
After the show was over a lady came up to me and asked if I was in charge, I replied that I had been tasked with preparing and putting on the demonstration. She then proceeded to tell me that I had damaged the many boy and Girl Scout aged young people that had attended and that many of them would very likely think they should join the Military.
I just stood by and waited for the punch line until I realized that was it.
I told her that all the demonstrators in the program were exmilitary and that several were still in the reserves. She responded with “well nothing can be done about them they are already damaged, but you should not teach killing to children and make it look like it was fun or even enjoyable.”
I told her she may be right that I was indeed afflicted with PTSD and that one or two others may have similar problems, she stepped back a step and said “and the Sheriff lets you work as a Deputy with a GUN! “She paused; I smiled (not a very good idea after my statement.” I am going to see that you are dismissed if it is the last thing I do!”
I said yes mam there are a number of people that feel that way, of course all of the others are in Prison.
