[GUNRUNNER5150]

chief richard pennington is on cnn right now talking about how shocked and dismayed he is that the new concealed carry bill passed in GA that opened up more places the ccw is valid (parks, mass transport etc) this guy sounds like a politician, he says that crime will rise with the new ccw expansion law - that people will be solving arguments with their guns, and ccw carriers will be going ot restaurants and niteclubs and alcohol will cause shootings. Then acknowledges that most of the crimes are committed by people carrying guns ILLEGALY what a fucking shocker there huh? he also says that more people will be carrying without a permit because they will think its ok under the new ccw law HUH? WHAT? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??

Come on now, the people who take the steps, get the fingerprints, take teh classes, and all that stuff to get the ccw legally i would think are less likely to act the fool with that gun. When did we become the enemy? to get the ccw we have to have CLEAN RECORDS, we are not teh criminals here. The criminals already have the guns and are using them against us, and dont give two squirts of piss about any law, let alone some gun law - so why are we the a**holes when we take legal steps to protect ourselves from those criminals?

ANd then all these douchebags who write the emails and get them read on the air, about how appauled they are at the new ccw expansion law and how this aint the wild west anymore. One guy said its frustrating because its hard to tell if someone is reaching for their wallet or a gun.

WHAT THE F*CK? what is wrong with these people? Do all these people live in neverland ranch? Just 2 nites ago some guy got smoked at the end of my street by some guys in a car - and people wonder why i wont leave my house without my pistol, why should i play the willing victim for these peice of sh*ts? I REFUSE, whether its legal or not.

I just dont get it

Excuse me while i load my extra mags before i head out.

.... this guy sounds like a politician,...

You probably hit the nail on the head there. He's probably politicking for more funds for his department to fight the imaginary crime increase. Or, he may be one of those bureaucrats who loves to have his face on screen and hear his own voice babbling away. Obviously he's not concerned enough about the issue to have done any research on it - there's certainly enough statistics available now that show his fears are groundless.

Of course he's a politician

Big city Police Chiefs are APPOINTED to their positions, like DC's bull ****. They constantly repeat whatever position whoever appointed them tells them to take. That's how they keep their jobs, and why the are generally reviled by the street cops. Smaller departments, whole different story, the Chief actually has to do police work, answer domestic disturbance calls, cover patrols for vacations and sickness.

Its the mind set.
In a town of 4500 people ,mostly Farmers ,Retired people and a few kids and only 3 Cops in the middle of no where.

Tell me why they get a grant from HLS ,to buy 7 new H&K 416 rifles ,A new $200.000.00 dollar armored car.
SWAT tactical gear , and lots of other goodies.
The biggest thing that has happened there in 5 years was when a lady's pet dog got ran over.

Pennington is the do nothing cheif that got run out of N.O. pre katrina.. it's a appointed position here by the mayor.that guarantees the laws are enforced via political expediency. it needs to be a elected job let the cheif answer to the vote of the people... lets see how different law enforcment will be.

We have the same problem with the present cheif.. a do nuthin Nagin appointee..

 

[phalanx]

He is a Puppet ,a mouth piece ,A marionette moving its mouth appearing to talk.
But is only echoing its masters voice ,while sitting on his knee.
The same is true with this Chief in DC ,They convey a false feeling of Police security to the ignorant ,while hiding its masters intentions to the wise.
A show and an illusion ,presented by Fools, to amuse or Baffle Fools.
Or to Speak the truth ,to those who would believe a Dummy.

Arranged by those who wish to confuse ,telling you that you have just crossed over.
into the Twilight Zone.

this guy sounds like a politician

Like was stated in some of the post, a chief is appointed by the mayor and rubber stamped by the city counsel.................he's nothing more then a political hack for the mayor, law enforcement does not even enter to the equation of him getting appointed.......... chiefs, and all the other heads of local and state LE agencies are just just boots lickers of whatever political power appointed them, and serve as long as the powers that be are in power.........once the mayor goes, the new one gets to appoint his own boot licker


never assume that a chief is a LEO, they aren't.

This morning on Fox News the mayor of DC was crying about the court decision while every police officer the news talked to liked the idea and all said they hoped it would make criminals think twice before they broke into someones home.
