I'm sure you did, and I think it is better to be concerned and act accordingly than not. It's just that when you carry a gun yourself, there is an additional responsibility to exercise due caution. I guess my own standard would be, "is this something I would get involved in if I wasn't carrying a gun?" If the answer is still yes, then so be it. On the other hand, if the gun is the difference between whether or not I would get involved, then the answer would be "no, I better not do anything more than calling the cops, and to observe and report, perhaps."

And the badge stuff is just good natured kidding. Don't take that seriously. You hang around here long enough, you'll see lots of good natured joshing about CHL badges, and CHL sashes, and silly stuff like that.

Well said.

That can be arranged.



Hey now! Before anyone gets irritated with me, admit that you were all thinking the same think and snickering!
