Folks all big and bad and brazen with a gun in their hand. Hmpf. Leave law enforcement to Law Enforcement. Even the police officers that I work in tandem with prefer to employ stun guns. Neighborhood Watch. Watch is the operative word. All of this is sadly anticipated and un-necessary...
This CCW-gun-toter is just fine with "striking", it's the shooting TO DEATH that I have more than an issue with. Carry a weapon. Learn how to use it ... properly and appropriately. If not, carry a stun gun dang it!
I'm a paramedic in a big city. Some municipalities do have separate dispatchers for fire, police, and EMS. Most dispatchers are not medics but are EMD-trained. Pretty pleased with dispatchers in this area.
50-year-old female with a CCW. Carry a 380. Always a safety on and not with a bullet in the chamber unless I'm really really ready to fire. No safety on. Bullet in chamber. You mean business.
Yep. I'm cringing. I'm black and I'm cringing. Ugh. A stark contrast to the articulate testimony of the 911 communications center director. Geeze oh wiz. Leads folks to draw stereotypical conclusions. C-r-i-n-g-i-n-g.
