Well surely you won't argue with me about who knows more LEO. I would say it's about 50/50. I have personal LEO friends that are total gun fanatics and some that it's just a tool.

Personally. I have guns, I occasionally shoot them to stay proficient. I've shown and instructed my wife and kids how to safely handle and use them. But I'm definitely not a "gun nut" I don't keep them stashed in different cubbies around the house and I don't feel naked if I leave the house without one strapped in a holster.
