With the way things are going these days, it’s tough to even determine if more guns will protect us at sporting events.
Safety is probably everyone’s number 1 concern these days and it seems like wherever we go, something could go down. It’s almost been a month since the terror attacks occurred in Paris and the police union is making a case to allow officers to carry concealed weapons at NFL games. The National Fraternal Order of Police has written a letter to the NFL to allow those retired and off-duty officers to enter the stadiums with guns. If that didn’t provoke you to raise your eyebrow, read their letter. FOP President Chuck Canterbury wrote this letter
“Today, I am writing on behalf of the members of the Fraternal Order of Police to urge you to rescind this policy, which weakens the safety and security of NFL players, personnel and fans,” read the Nov. 20 letter, which was reported by BuckeyeFirearms.org. “The terrorist attacks and threats of attacks from organizations like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are selecting targets based on the amount of death and injury they can inflict — mass murder and casualty events.
“Well-attended venues and areas are being deliberately targeted by the radical killers who do not intend or expect to survive the assault,” the letter continued. “Law enforcement, even when working actively with highly trained and skilled security professionals, cannot be certain that all threats will be detected and neutralized.”
There’s two sides to every story and many may want this to actually happen but others won’t like the idea of more guns.
