Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Hello officer. I am a juvenile (17) who will be 18 in june. Yesterday, I got cut by a mustang while driving... and I began to follow her. After 5 minutes, we both came to a walmart, and she called the cops. I am being charged with stalking? why?

Asked by Gus about 11 years ago

Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.

However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."

Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.

In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

Asked by Hello (follow up) over 11 years ago

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit.  If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.
