I am not a gun owner. However, I have no problem with people owning guns and most of you would call me a bleeding-heart liberal. Most bleeding-heart liberals wouldn't agree.

This dude in the OP had a choice. In my opinion, he chose wisely. We need more people to be vocal about our rights in the US. Would I do the same? I don't know. I haven't been in that situation. I do own a video camera though and I wouldn't think twice about using it to record a cop if I had it on me at the right time.

Yes, guns are designed for one purpose ... to kill. That doesn't mean everyone who owns guns uses them for their potential. Heck, I have a good friend who has a shot-glass collection and SHE DOESN'T DRINK.

I, too, question the judgment of someone working on a car while wearing a gun ... but dk is right: It's moot. Doesn't matter what I think or even what the COPS think. The law is very clear in this scenario.
