If I had a dollar for every gun carried by judges into courtrooms around the country and carried by the special people onto commercial aircraft, I would retire a wealthy man.
Despite my title at work, I do not believe I am any more special than any other law abiding citizen. IMO, if I get to have a gun, then they should get to have a gun too. If the SHTF, I like my odds knowing that there are a whole lot more good guys with guns than bad guys with guns. Besides, the Giffords shooting in AZ is a great study in how few people will actually pull the trigger even when they have the opportunity.
I don't believe the average citizen is as stupid as the media would have you believe.
