In the West, they do.<br /><br />In the East, you'll sometimes get a massive amount of ammo expended with poor results, sometimes with the innocent hit. We don't tend to see the same in the West.<br /><br />Which is one reason why I think the concept that you can depend on the police, at least in the East, is flawed. Concealed carry folks back there, in my view, are more likely to know their way around their firearms.<br /><br />I can't comment on carry in Churches, however, which is not allowed without permission even where I'm located.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-18995127570780882972017-01-31T17:55:24.456-05:002017-01-31T17:55:24.456-05:00It would be news if it was another "faith&quo...It would be news if it was another "faith" as the victim. <br /><br />I am not familiar with West Coast cops, but I did see a lot of 1911's in leather among law enforcement in Montana. :-) In general I think the new breed of LEO comes from a different background; not mil, not even gun owners.

This, surely, is real news. <br /><br />I'm also stunned that the law enforcement personnel, there appears to be two, are just sort of walking up behind the assailant until he assaults the Bishop. The Bishop, no doubt viewing this whole thing as wholly out of context, doesn't react. That's understandable as people taken out of the familiar often don't react, but it's difficult to grasp why the police failed to do something, particularly as the individual had walked completely up to the front of the Church.<br /><br />I'll finally note, and I know that this is going to sound wrong, that while I hate to second guess the police, and I know that very often there are things they are doing that we don't appreciate, that your police on the East Coast often seem rather ill equipped to do their jobs. Again, I know that sounds awful, but even just considering their use of firearms, they don't compare very well with police in the West.<br /><br />I'm not second guessing here and I don't feel that I dare comment on people carrying in a Church outside of a region that I'm familiar, with, but I would note that an assault on a Bishop seems newsworthy.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.com
