Would you? I think you'd be surprised how many people lock up in the face of an attack like that. You won't know until it happens to you.

Rather than take cheap shots at a few guys who think they are cops, consider the rest of the group are decent guys trying to protect the country, heaven forbid the situation arises.

This is a public forum. Might I recommend Pro Stands the next time an FFDO acts in an irresponsible manner?

That's for more specific actions and behavior. The charge of toolishness (in general) carries a lower burden of proof, and requires no such proceeding.

For the record, I agree with Buzz, Dalad, and Deadhead. Those ranks make for a tool-rich environment.

Public outcry could, however, help shut down the FFDO program. The anti-gun media could do a short google search and find you guys agreeing that 90% of FFDOs should not have a weapon.

Not regarding anything specific here boom, just a hunch.

I get the impression some of these guys would be to quick to inject themselves into a hostile situation.

The results of your diligence just might open your eyes a bit.
