Correct, an officer of the law should be expected to understand safe gun handling and storage practices. Being a cop should elevate the standards you’re held to, not fucking lower them lmao.
Safe gun handling and storage practices ensure that, in the event of an emergency (like a home invasion), authorized people can readily access the weapons that you have stored. Firearms have no value for home defense if they require the owner to be physically present when they’re accessed… home invaders are not going to wait for your mother to drive home and open the gun safe.
This wasn’t a minor child, or some random person breaking into her house to steal firearms. It is perfectly reasonable to store weapons and allow the adults who live in the household to have access to them for emergencies.
The person who is in the wrong here is the man who took weapons into a public place and started shooting.
Eh, given how many other times cops have been way too lenient with right wing terrorists versus their left wing equivalents(and basically anyone else outwardly left wing but that’s another matter), I’m not sure that earns them any leniency here.
In the interest of truth this is good, but it does not change my view on law enforcement or their incapabilities.
Of course, but fight them with facts.
Misinformation is in nobody’s best interest.
