Mass shooting at Century 16 in Aurora

Cochese - a huge THANK YOU!

What you experienced as an LEO is something that I wish fewer individuals would have to experience. You and all of the other officers who responded are HEROES for how quickly you responded, taking care of the wounded, getting wounded to the hospital, and getting control of this murderous POS - and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Please pass on to the other members of your team just how much we appreciate your efforts and are glad you are there.

I'd like to add my thanks here, too. Well done, sir, to you and all your compatriots.

That's only some of the gear.

I watched the initial briefing from Chief Oates the next day and he did say "tactical vest...tactical leggings" which I originally took to mean armored. But really tactical doesn't have much (if anything) to do with armor.

That makes me feel better that an individual with a CCW would have made a difference in this situation. All the more reason I'm going to get my CCW permit just as soon as the funds become available.

But Oates also said "Neck and groin PROTECTION"... Which even cops realize is ballistic protection, and he said "Bullet proof or bullet resistant." But YMMV.

I'm not sure I'd even trust 3 inches of hardened steel to take a bullet in the hoo-hoo dilly.

No need to worry when your balls are made of steel; Like MINE!
