No offense, but that is not what Excaliber said. He said [LEO's use] "the gun..daily in high consequence situations". The fact that our occasional encounters with bad guys are of high consequence to us is completely irrelevant to his point, namely that LEO's face those situations daily, not occasionally.TxSheepdog wrote:So drawing my gun in defense of myself or my family is not a high consequence situation?

Well see how a month at the Kimber factory does. I'm skeptical to say the least. Worst case is $250 for a new slide.
Furthermore, he said "I have no reason to believe they wouldn't treat you equally well if you didn't wear a badge".
I don't know why you chose to put words in Excaliber's mouth, but you shouldn't. And I have no idea why I'm defending him. He's quite capable of defending himself. I just found your attack offensive and disrepectful of a highly valued member of this forum.
Please choose your words more wisely in the future.
