It's out of control over there. Not worth getting involved in any thread involving LEO's.

CalGuns booth, I'd just keep walking. I'll never publically associate with this website. Many here in this forum are just as ignorant, hateful and blind as the gun haters, and are identical in almost every way. Which is sad because this site is a goldmine of knowledge and has significant potential.

Please report it if that occurs.

I've worked many gun show booths since then and have organized special events like the shoots at Lytle Creek (prior to 2011), two different Rod Runs and Raahauge's Sports Fair in Corona. I have also attended various Calguns shoots and had a great time. Not only have I not heard one disparaging remark about leos from any of those members I worked with or met, I have made some close friends from working these booths over the years. Yes, we all know there are some here who dislike leos and are very vocal about it. The staff requests that when something is posted that you believe violates the rules that you simply report it and don't get into an argument with the member. Let us look into it and handle appropriately. I honestly believe you are missing out on meeting some good people at the different Calgun events. I understand that is your choice and I also understand why you have these feelings, but I believe the old saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" is appropriate. If you do contact members at a Calguns event like a gun show and you run into some AHs, then simply leave. I think tho, you would be pleasantly surprised as to how nice most members are. Please don't consider this a lecture, because I certainly don't mean it that way. I am just imparting my experiences since I joined in late 2007. |

I have to agree with TRICKSTER and IrishJoe.....I learned very early that this place is full of Cop Haters......IrishJoe said it best. It's a true shame that the potential of this site will never be realized. What the haters don't realize is that 99.9% of us are staunch 2nd Amendment Right Defenders. Are we sometimes perceived as the evil tool of crappy politics? Absoulutely we are. A harsh reality of the profession......But all in all we are NOT the enemy.

No problem. Don't sweat it. Just a misunderstanding.

And I have learned a LOT. I think it has paid off greatly, as I am a firearm instructor, FTO etc. I teach what I have learned to my troops, and when they encounter a firearm situation they are unsure of (*coughcough a calgunner coughcough*) they call me instead of doing what they think is correct. I would LOVE to send my guys here so they can learn and grow on their own. But as long as the environment here remains what it is, that’s never ever gonna happen. Which is extremely unfortunate for two reaons. One, because I think LEOs in general are naive to what its really like dealing with the crap laws we have, and would have much to gain from seeing those laws through the eyes of the community. And two, MOST gun owners cops deal with are thugs that just offed someone. So, it would do WORLDS of improvement to the public relations between LEOs and civilians if law enforcement officers could see that gun owners are normal people just like us who enjoy their hobbies, just like us. So, coming here with an open mind, I presumed others were the same. I’ve engaged in discussions and debates and spent considerable time crafting articulate, thoughtful responses that were designed to clarify one point or another. In return, I’ve been insulted, abused, dismissed, and my ethics and morality questioned. I expect that at work. Except I’m not at work. I’m at home, on days off. I’ve learned there are many here who have no interest in self-development, no desire to learn or share, and who never grew up beyond the 8 year old kid who sticks his fingers in his ears and closes his eyes while sticking out their tongue. Frankly, f----‘m. I have no interest in discussing it any more. I’ll browse the C&Rs, look for steals in the Parts and Accessories, and cruise OT for kicks and giggles. I’ll continue to do my job with pride, honor and professionalism, but I have no interest in discussing it or attempting to explain anything. That Us Vs. Them? Yeah, it exists. I tried to bridge it, but ended up getting gang raped. Quote:
