… just joined the “Specia Privileges Not Constitutional Rights” camp. Wants to expand LEOSA to include retired Special Forces and Tier 1’s, but not anyone else. Not even “regular miitary” veterans.
Welp, that would mean my last dime to ZRODelta/sister firms if WA hadn’t already banned AR’s and their parts… time to organize a bunch of Tribe Of The Gun and et him know at his office, his campaign and his business what we think of his Blue Falconry.
Yeah because as everyone already knows we are all only totally fixed on Supporting only our very special Teir 1 folks.
Everytime I cross the LD in my Tank, I think “Gee I can’t wait for the SF Guy’s to get weapons” while I will of course be unarmed, but I’m always happy I could give my all so that they my betters can be treated as much more important than I ever will be..
F’ Him .
Harrigan was an officer.
Officers seem to have a real problem understanding that not everyone is their subordinate. This Harrigan clown is one of them.
Generally speaking most officers currently serving, and who are no longer commissioned can be counted on to be pompous fucking douchebags who should have never been entrusted with a leadership position. Not all, but most of them. Particularly any of them to come from a service academy in my experience.
None of them have managed to win a war since WWII so I take most of their opinions with a big bag of salt.
I expected better from an FFL who’s experienced ATF bullshit firsthand.
You expected better from a guy who was a commissioned officer?
LOL.
You have an 85% chance of being disappointed with them because our military has largely selected for self important pompous douchebags since WWII to become officers. They are still pompous douchebags after their time in service ends.
Anyone else confused by the spastic flip flopping?
I thought these 2 were the most vile, traitorous scum to ever hold office in the US for holding the position that is totally the opposite of Harrigan?
I remember cleaning the Latrine one day and I had cleaned one stall and left it open and continued to clean. My Favorite LT walks in and I asked him to please use the stall I wasn’t cleaning.
He said “The difference between me and you if I have a College Degree and I am a lieutenant, So I will shit anywhere I want to and you will clean it up.”
What a Guy.
Maybe I was spoiled by one of the cool ones being my college mentor - when N. found out that, despite them being a decade apart and my grandpa being a “mere” old sarge, they were alumni of the same squadron he told me “you’re not just another student, you’re family.”
Granted, he did enlisted time while waiting for his billet at Colorado Springs…
I was the Gunner for 3rd Platoon Cco Command Track for 3 years, I’ve got ten million bad lieutenant stories.
And this further compounds another concern since i recall Herrera speaking well of Harrigan.
And i have to assume Trump knows something about Herrera that isn’t a good thing for the serfs.
Until the US military pulls it’s collective head out of it’s collective ass commissioning college kids as officers in charge of stuff; we will continue to get shitty ineffective feckless fuckfaces populating the officer corps.
If I were in charge effective immediately the service academies would boot anyone without prior enlisted service, and I would start selecting enlisted service members with high ASVAB scores to attend the academies instead. Their educational focus would be learning how to be military leaders. There is no need for a 4 year engineering degree to accomplish this in most cases.
Oh look, a bunch of people who were only ever enlisted talking out of their ass. Literally no different than a bunch of people who were only ever officers talking out of their ass.
It’s all the same shit. Grow up.
As far as the bill - 100% agree on the argument. But we already don’t have constitutional carry and it has repeatedly failed to pass. While it could be argued that its a bit of elitism (most GBs really don’t even shoot pistol much ,but neither do a lot of LE from what I’ve heard), isn’t expanding carry in any sense good?
”Particularly any of them to come from a service academy in my experience.”
I believe the term is “ring knockers”.
I’m at the point where I’m ready to say “Either for ALL or NONE - give us Con Carry or spike LEOSA since they welshed on the ‘give us this open door then we’ll reach back and pull you through behind us’ quid-pro-quo.”
Can you lose your job if you get arrested for carrying illegally?
Empowering another priveleged and entitled class who will then oppose serfs being armed to increase the value of their special privelege is not a good thing.
Job? Try losing your FREEDOM… Basically, this bill reads less like serious 2A or policy and more like a self-serving “hey I’m never gonna be a cop but I wanna get me some of that action too.”
You can’t lose something that you don’t already have man.
Mil members are significantly more disadvantaged when it comes to the 2A in almost single every way. Anything to win some of that back is a positive, even if it should be more.
Screw that. The peasantry doesn’t need more numbers against us.
I have experienced leadership by officers that were prior enlisted, NROTC, and Naval Academy while serving as a USMC infantryman.
The prior enlisted officers who got a degree and went through a commissioning program were better leaders hands down at the platoon and company level. Granted most of them were enlisted grunts prior to becoming infantry officers, so this wouldn’t magically transfer to a different job but within an infantry platoon or company a bright motivated NCO who gets a commission is going to be more effective as a platoon leader, company XO, and CO more quickly in my experience.
