Baz said:First off I'm not the only one on this board that doesn't like tattoo's but you seem to revel in making it a Brent issue. I can go through if you like and pick out quite a few negative comments towards tattoos by other members. As for using your firearms for hunting purposes I do not have an issue with what so ever. If you make use of the animal then again I do not have any issue at all with it but this does not mean you need a hand gun does it? You do not hunt with a hand gun you hunt with a rifle I'm assuming?? Is a Police Officer not also a fellow gun owner who has been professionally trained to carry his firearm or at least I would hope this is true. I don't question your skill level or knowledge on the proper storage and safe keeping of firearms, based on what you say I would guess you take it very seriously but the problem arises when you have people that are not careful and in a city with neighbors within ear shot, it really isn't worth the risk in my opinion.* PLEASE NOTE THE CIVILITY OF MY POST.*
Some people like them, some do not like them but you went a step further and claimed dirty needles and unsanitary practises.... No one else but you made that accusation and I pointed it out as being factually incorrect in todays day and age.
I suggest you read Matthew 7:1
The vast majority of police officers fail miserably when it comes to firearms handling. Unsafe storage, unsafe handling, lack of practise, lack of knowledge are just a few of the issues I have with them. Owning a handgun requires a special license and handguns have been highly regulated in this country for the past 80 years.
