It wouldn't hurt to at least try it. Any you're certainly not going to get any better instruction than from a SWAT cop - seriously, that sounds like a golden opportunity to learn from the best. I would take advantage of that.

Thanks for the advice. I'll seriously consider it.

Remember, when you cut through all the crap, a gun is just a tool. It serves a specific purpose, does a specific thing, and like anything else, it can be used for good or evil. It should be respected, but not feared.

Good luck.

Do we really want Dane out there with a gun in his Gucci men's "handbag"? What if he overhears someone bad mouthing Britney and wipes out a block of shoppers on Melrose Ave?

As we already know, the killer won't strike if the cop is there at the time. So if that happens, the cop might find my killer, but it won't make me any less dead. Justice is for survivors and the government; the victim gets dick. And it's just another day at the office to the cop, since he has no personal stake or interest in my life or whether I continue to live it. To me, my personal safety should be my responsibility. And I resent the fact that I can't legally take steps to defend myself by carrying a gun.
