Kind of reminds me of a situation I saw some years back. A cop knocked on a friend's door because of a noise complaint. We were being a little loud on a friday night. The kid was smoking a butt when he answered the door and the cop told him to put out the cigarette. My buddy said "I won't blow it in your face." and the cop replied "It's not that, I'm more concerned about my safety." My friend told him. "If you are scared of a cigarette, you might be in the wrong line of work."
Hey police of America:
We the people whom you are supposed to be protecting and serving are often armed. It is our right to be armed. The right was not given to us by you and you also can't take that right away. If armed citizens frighten you, get a job at walmart or move to the UK.
