TAM....I have another wish. Read my post again. I acknowleged the subsequent post that clarified that the original post was not clear as to how this transpired. My intent was not and never has been to insult someone on this forum. That is not what this forum or it's members are about. I thought my response was clear that my opinion was related to the situation originally described and not aimed at the poster. This was an opinion of the responses. Here's another opinion....while I appreciate anyone's service to our country, that does not mean the individual is immune to character flaw. And no that is not directed to you or any member of the forum. Just pointing out that I do not agree with your assertion that service is equal to saint hood. If I understood the intent of your post correctly.

Curiosity killed the cat and gun fondling has done the same for many would be criminals, children, and Darwin award recipients. I don't understand the sense of entitlement to mess with that which is not your own. My children demonstrate more restraint and maturity. I understand the original post may not have depicted the situation correctly but to see the responses that condone the behavior as it was originally posted is shocking. I hate to be reminded that my utopian view of CHL holders being model citizens is foolish. How is disarming a CHL holder and dry firing a $3k weapon without permission acceptable? In my book that was an abuse of authority by the officer and lack of morals, values, and respect on the part of the rider. If acting upon your curiosity and touching what does not belong to you is the new accepted behavior, call me old and remind me not to leave my wife alone with you. Flame away......

Gone are the days of common courtesy and respect for others. I would never have done that!
