Im very pro gun, but im also pro law enforcement. Here in Indiana it is not uncommon to see a gun on a responsible adults hip, and most never think twice about it here. Im glad to still be able enjoy that freedom and right here in the Midwest.
However, this is a terrible idea as the way one handles a cell phone would obviously look like a lunatic handling a firearm inappropriately For that reason alone this case is completely stupid.
Also to others here who bad mouth our law enforcement please don't. These men and women are doing a tough job in field that is under attack by people yelling racism all the time.
I can attest that most of our law enforcement officers are not only military vets, but also college and university graduates on top of that. The field is very competitive and most who are applying are doing so to protect and to serve their communities. I can assure you it is not for the money. I've tried out for a few agency's in the past and I was one of the least qualified.
