Reblogged from Stuff I'm thinking or thought:

I have PTSD, so I'm no longer a police officer. But, the memories of those times and others stay with me. I was pretty ticked last night after an online discussion with someone who was telling me how bad guns were. I make bullet jewelry and she was slightly bothered that I was promoting gun use. Actually, she was the second person who made that accusation to me yesterday.
Great article that really hammers home why we do what we do.
