Ohio's DeWine asked to ensure open carry training after shooting jokes by police

Those attitudes included laughing about double-tapping the open carriers, a term gun owners recognize as the placing of two shots into a target in quick succession. That recalls a similar comment made years back by a California police detective laughing about shooting open carriers and then getting two weeks off, and further laughing because the legal climate in California denies concealed carry permits to so many.

Well, let's put the shoe on the other foot for a moment.
How well received would the same comment be if uttered by a civilian toward an LEO?
That is, a double tap aimed at one behind the badge. After all, they do open carry.
Yeah, that's what I thought. So let's now take this back to the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I'm sure they'll have the same sense of humor if I start "joking" about shooting cops....

No zero tolerance for them, only us lowly citizens

Just another reminder that LEOs are not your friends and should be treated as such.

If a civilian made the same sort of comments they would be doing hard time for threatening a police officer.

I wish there was a way to tacitly give those assholes a heads-up to the fact that those shiny badges they wear would make EXCELLENT aim points. That's where I would aim were I of a mind to stop a cop. But I have neither the desire nor the intention to do any such thing. LEOs have absolutely nothing to fear from me.

It's actually becoming more like "Do unto them before they do unto you."

Not that the average LEO could accurately place two shots anywhere.

Nice thought, but those who have attained and hold power over others have a different Golden Rule: "Do unto others *before* they do unto you."
