All the local cops I know here in TN are squarely on the side of gun owners. Many of us who carry rifles in our cars bought them and their magazines ourselves. We have no sympathy for anti gun proposals. When the President has an event ans there are line level cops standing behind him, they have been ordered to attend and if you look close, they are unarmed. The feds don’t trust us around him with a loaded gun any more than they do anyone else. Police Chiefs are appointed and if its a liberal town, they will toe the party line to keep their jobs. The true bell weather on how local LEOs feel are elected Sheriffs and most of them around the country (even in Madison WI) are solidly behind gun owners.

Sounds good, but when the rubber hits the road — or the rounds are chambered — which side will they be on?

Believe it when I see it.
