No. It's tragic.

"become[ing] a reserve LEO" is also beyond the ability of those of us who are either too old to be accepted, or too infirm to become a reserve LEO. Frankly, it was an idiotic and thoughtless response.... but some people speak without giving much thought to the effect of their words. Personally, I'm done discussing it with him. If he really wants to be a THAT guy, he's not going to listen to reason.

If I must go somewhere that is 30.06 posted. I grab my handy hardwood cane, which I occasionally do need. With some Hipkido training and a lot of practice, at least I do not feel completely unarmed. It also helps you get through the airport, because I do not fly somewhere without my cane.
Not a cure, but definitely an option.
I too carry my hardwood cane, but but what if we take a ride for carrying a cane past a 30.06 sign???
Oh wait
30.06 applies to Handguns
and only to handguns carried under authority of a License to Carry
I have no license to carry my cane ... and it's not prohibited by law to carry without a license.... guess i won't worry about carrying that which is not illegal.
I seem to recall a Federal Law about Police arresting someone for something which i not illegal is a viloation of their cibil rights and the arrest cannot be made in good faith for that which is not illegal
You guys with your illegal clubs. Stick with the folded rifle.
But But ... Americans with Disabilities Act probably gives me a cause of action for them prohibiting my cane after I "take a ride" Riding beats walking anyway ...
If you beat them with the folded rifle, will you take the ride for using an illegal club?
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

A cane is not illegal and it can be quite handy if you know how to use it more than walking with it.

I assure you all that becoming a Texas LEO (reserve or otherwise) is significantly more difficult than getting a Texas LTC or carrying a folded concealed rifle. For my part, in the event of 30.06 sign I would consider carrying a concealed sub-machinegun , which is not a handgun under Texas law. I am quite accurate in semi using a select fire MAC10/9 with a barrel extension or silencer, and it is quite concealable, though very heavy.

Are you saying he lied to us? Then he mocked us for obeying the law.

I'm getting pretty sleepy right now but I have no idea what your talking about. Gonna have to throw me a bone here bud.
When an LEO expresses contempt for law abiding citizens' efforts to protect themselves (while conveniently being able to protect themselves and theirs), it might lead some to wonder what other aspects of some LEOs interactions are thought of as "comical" or beneath them or trivial in their eyes. When the peasantry feel mocked by those sworn to serve and protect, it could plant all sorts of doubts into some folks minds.
