Jeff,
I can pull up actual incidents throughout the US. The
largest amout of press that these may have gotten was
the "Police Beat" section somewhere in the back of a
newspaper.
I'm stating simple facts. I'm not going to get into a
pissing match with anyone over this. The gun issue is
a very volitile issue in the US and...like I said
before...Out of respect for those that don't share the
same feeling, I cut my email short. We all have our
own views and having arested a few people in my past,
I have my own thoughts. If you want some instances,
I'll be happy to find some for you. as far as me
carrying every instance in my head...I'm not THAT much
of a Nerd.
