Two cops played quick-draw with loaded guns. One pointed his gun at the other.
The other drew his own gun from inside the patrol car. Then a round went through the windshield and hit the first officer in the shoulder.
And somehow, the city called it “horseplay.” If a civilian did this, nobody would call it horseplay. They’d call it a negligent discharge, aggravated assault, or worse.
But this is the double standard gun owners deal with every day.
We’re constantly told civilians can’t be trusted with guns. We’re too emotional, too reckless, too untrained, too dangerous. We’re told to leave it to the “professionals.”
Then two cops play around with loaded firearms and shoot each other.
This doesn’t mean every cop is reckless. It means cops are people. Some train seriously. Some don’t. Some are responsible. Some aren’t.
Just like civilians.
But when one citizen does something stupid, politicians try to punish every law-abiding gun owner in America. When one cop does something stupid, nobody argues every cop should lose their Glock.
That’s the inconsistency.
So next time someone says “only cops should carry,” remember the windshield.

@EricaLWeston While that is a problem and I hope he recovers well, that’s not the reason he’s never had a sub 5.00 era. He’s just not good. Or at least not good under Halo.
