I have a friend at APD who is taking me along some time during the coming weeks. I'd prefer not to disclose where or when he works, but let's just say it's the last place you'd find me hanging around in Austin, an we ain't working the lunch shift. We haven't really talked about the shotgun (as everyone seems to keep bringing up), and I guess I didn't think I'd get a bulletproof vest (is that common or was that just the one member who posted?), but I'm sure we'll talk about it all before the ride. I would feel more comfortable if I were allowed to carry, but I will respect the law. I'm almost positive he is more skilled and prepared than I am to handle a live fire situation, but at the end of the day I'm relying on me--and only me--for self defense. Perhaps it's just the Libertarian in me...
