That's why we pay taxes.
If he wants to carry a concealed and has his ticket... go for it. But the gung ho cowboy thing quasi-cop mentality is kind of nuts.

You must have lived a sheltered life... I can name off 20 or more people who ride with scanners in the car....
not even my friends just random people...
so I come off as mental because I am driving along and hear an accident that happened 1 block away from where im at now and the nearest medical is 4 min away.. I am 1 min away... so now ive had First Responder training and what not... who do you want at the accident scene with your mother who's bleeding to death... a citizen who knows a thing or 2 to first respond while waiting for EMT and paramedics? or just random citizens who know nothing but to watch your mother bleed to death? this can happen on a daily basis..
My wifes grandmother was recently at a restaraunt in New Jersey she collapsed and had a heart attach on the spot... there was a lady there who just finished her classes in CPR saved her life.. (TRUE STORY) now is that lady crazy for getting involved?
