folks banned from DU often post.

Some habitual gun carrier posted there about walking down his neighborhood street, hearing a noise behind him, and pulling his gun as he whirled around in fear. Turned out to be a neighbor's dog in his owner's yard.

I thought the concealed carry folks were well trained and all. Never pulled their gunz expect when their life was in danger. Here's come fool pulling his gun without having any idea of the target. Some kid popping a bag would probably start him blasting away. Such action is how innocent folks get shot. Worse, a lot of his concealed carry buddies agreed with his actions.

But what the heck, if he shoots some innocent person there have even been threads on our RKBA forum offering suggestions on what to tell law enforcement to get off. Gun "mentors" -- like Massad Ayoob and Zimmerman's instructors -- teach what to say. That's just wrong.
