Cherry Valley Police Chief Gary Maitland disagrees with the judge's ruling.
"This is not the Old West," he said. "I'm not advocating banning handguns. But I'm not aware of any police officer who would advocate more handguns on the street. When they start taking their weapons out of their home and walking around with them strapped to their hip, bad things can happen."
Yeah, well too bad, Chief--I don't see you unstrapping your gun. Oh, but then you're one o' them there "Only Ones," with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
And I see we keep dusting off that long-discredited "Old West" lie.
Oh, and as far as Chiefy being "not aware [which seems a given] of any police officer who would advocate more handguns on the street," his lack of knowledge doesn't surprise me. But really, Gary, they're just
not
that
hard
to find ,
assuming, of course, that you're not too lazy or ignorant to look.
Good for Shaun Kranish. That's another very courageous thing he did.
