Don't think he should have lost his job over it, but he seemed to have needed a "Don't do that" guy around.

Guess he never listened to Johnny Cash: When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns," | |

Overkill! I doubt the weapon was loaded and it does my heart good to see officers having a little fun. Their job is not one I'd want and if a photo-op relieves the stresses of duty, let them have some fun! Jeez........

Also, as someone stated earlier, is the MSNBC reporter that stupid to not be able to tell the difference between a car hood and a trunk??

And again: there's quite a difference between handing your gun to a friend at the shooting range or at home, and handing your department-issued rifle to a cocktail waitress in a parking lot so she can pose for pictures. I seriously doubt that's the public image the Sheriff wants to cultivate for his department, or the casual attitude towards weapons he wants to see in his officers.
Guns are not toys and props provided for the amusement of the deputies;. They're designed for killing people, and they should be treated with a little respect. And an on-duty deputy in uniform should comport himself with some dignity.

My tv isn't on very much anymore. I just wish the sponsers would listen to me once in a while. After all, I do have money to spend on their products, as do my Christian friends who also do not watch.

You're saying you don't watch television much anymore, because there are too many half-naked women on it?

That is correct. If I want to look at a woman I have a wife, not some stranger.
If a man lusts after a woman in his heart, he has already commited adultry with her. (from the Bible, but not an exact quote - can get it later for you if you want it).

Nor do I think resisting temptation makes me a sinner just like giving in to it would have.
How do you deal with the fact that you're an adulterer many times over, without even getting any action?
