The destruction the US created in the Middle East

Your gun will no good against a trigger happy cop. I carry a firearm. The best thing to do when I get pulled over is notify the officer of the firearm, because I have heard nightmare stories about cops seeing or finding the gun they weren't notified about... handing them my permit with my license tells then I am a non felon probably in good standing with the law. My interactions have been pleasant when I do this- and once they run my background which has several felony arrests (no convictions) the tension has already been diffused by the courtesy of notification I am carrying- by law I do not have to disclose.

But- you said trigger happy cop. By the time you know you are in trouble you already have a gun on you. Dirty harry can't draw from concealed without getting a dozen 9mm from a shaky cop. Cops are bulletproof thanks to the unions... there is literally nobody to enforce laws on them because they just threaten a strike (city with no cops?), or they threaten to stop writing tickets (city with no money) and collapse the whole system. If a cop wants to kill you, you are pretty much dead. Your pistol will not help. Pull early and go to prison for life for drawing on a cop who had not drawn on you or even the death penalty for killing a cop, or just take your bullets. Very little choice- it's why they kill 1500 civilians a year (more than all of Europe's last 15 years).

You are white... don't worry about it. Getting shot by cops for no reason is far more a minority issue.

I was picturing myself pulling some Jet Li heroic backflip and all that, maybe a little matrix action mixed in. Neo bullet dodging type stuff.

I know if a Leo wants to pull and shoot, my carry weapon is all but useless. The idea that I can use it against one of them, if needed and the ability to draw it is there, is comforting. And this is coming from a guy that's fully supports law enforcement. With all that said, I've never encountered any issues with them.

What is the law regarding carry conceal when dealing with LEO? Mandatory to tell them you carry or not? I'm guessing it differs by state?

I bet you're a blue lives matter guy too eh?

I'm an all lives matter type of guy. When my tide rises it floats all boats, not just the black, blue or white boats.

But that’s also due to the fact that whites are the majority, so the numbers have to be taken into account when it comes to that.

Beat me to it.

No idea. I know my state you don't have to but are urged to do so. I never got a warning in my life until I started carrying a gun... now I haven't gotten a single ticket after presenting a carry permit.

The biggest problems for African Americans sadly is them selfs they kill more of each other every year then any race in the United states and they fight the police more then any races and do alot more crime then any race the statistics are their black neighborhoods are the worst places for them to live cause they are killing each other

It's poverty. Check low income crime rates in white areas and you see the same statistics.

please tell me why someone is shooting at these African American teens in hoodies? Is it because they are simply black? You left a lot for interpretation. I'm looking for clarification before I give a substantive reply.

I usually don't waste my time reposting articles because I wager the percentage of people who read articles differing from their point of view in a discussion hovers around zero... but we communicate well, you asked a pretty honest question and this article always stuck out to me as factual, pretty unbiased beyond the shocking nature of the facts themselves and well written. I also looked into the claims back when they wrote it and they were accurate. Let me know what you think.

Then dismiss it immediately after because it’s the biased left leaning media using something as trivial as facts.

Give it a rest. Seriously. Your life comes off as extremely empty if you have to respond to every single post with trivial rhetoric masquerading as tongue-in-cheek when it's really just pathetic.
