Or, if some of us citizens might be so audacious as to have a Concealed 
carry permit.  The police should obviously know when approaching a car with 
one of *those* people at the helm.

I can see it now, I roll thru a stop sign at some deserted intersection at 
2am - being able to see for miles I don;t come to a "full and complete 
stop" - blue lights instantly light up the night, a few seconds pass as my 
license plate is entered into a computer, electronic bits warmup, unseen 
things fly between the police car and a satillite thousands of miles away 
and back again - next thing I know 2 officers are approaching my car with 
guns drawn and demanding I exit the car and lay on the ground where I'm 
handcuffed, lifted up then laid over the hood of my car.

for rolling thru a stop sign in a wide open area with nothing coming for 
miles around.   On another subject, I was almost hit last night when I 
pulled out of our sub-division last night - unknown to me a small pickup was 
coming over the hill toward the intersection with only parking lights on - 
it was a black pickup BTW - amd I didn;t know he was there until I was out 
on the higheay and looked to see him on my bumper - still with only parking 
lights on.  And then I see a car approaching in the other lane without *any* 
headlights - could barely see him at all.  Must have been saving his lights 
for another time.  It was well after dark with all other vehicles having 
lights on.  *That* is what police should be going after.

Oh well, have a nice week -
