Those bad guys are the reason you saw officers from all over the country being sent to New Orleans, and carrying AR-15's as they walked the streets, going door to door checking on people. And to them, a guy with a gun, in camo or anything else, unless he is setting on his front porch, or the rooftop of his business, is a suspect until proven otherwise.


Unfortunately, even minding your own business wasn't enough to keep some of them from stealing your only means of self defense. And wearing camo had nothing to do with it. Thankfully more and more states are passing laws making such confiscations illegal.

The mental image of a retired 70 year old civil servant in camo does bring a smile to my face...


Me too. While I'm not a civil servant and not yet retired, I do hope to spend a goodly portion of my retirement in a duck blind. grin
