    Look at you, moving the goalposts.
    I have never observed a police officer do anything more than take a cursory glance at someone simply carrying a firearm.
    Neither have you.

    No?
    Thanks.

    yes, she was, she was doing nothing wrong, she heard a sound in her backyard, thought it was a criminal, it was the cop

    "Woman shot dead by Texas police through bedroom window"

    As expected, this is apples and oranges.

    during a traffic stop or any other reason they do sometimes freak sadly

    innocent suspects are often harassed, abused, killed.... for simply carrying a firearm.

    Provide a link.
    Remember - "Simply carrying".
    Not holding. Not brandishing. Simple possession, on the person.

    I just did, innocent person in her own house, shot for nothing more than having a gun or looking like she had a gun

    I said "you're kidding right, never seen a cop freak and just because they have seen a gun"

    you're the one trying to move the goalpost

    Libertarians are usually egocentric with poor social skills.

    Said no one with any knowledge of the subject.

    Fact remains: You taking offense to the way someone exercises their rights in no way supports a sound argument against that right.
    To believe otherwise is egocentric and an indication of poor social skills.

    Apparently I have a lot more knowledge of libertarian psychology than you. Self-awareness is not mandatory.

    There are sound arguments for the limitation of all rights and there are standards for smooth social interaction, like manners, politeness, consideration of other's beliefs .....unless you're a libertarian.

    Not that you have demonstrated, in any way.

    Of psychology....I deduced you were libertarian without prior knowledge.

    Thank you for illustrating my point re: your lack of acumen.
    You taking offense to their exercise is not one of them; to believe otherwise is egocentric and an indication of poor social skills.

    Yeah, we all want people making less than minimum wage, in a job that requires no education and has no future, who have to deal the public, carrying weapons.

    Do you mean this Boobert? Is this her sister?

    "Surrounded by leather-clad Pride Bois, U.S. Representative Lindsey Boobert was rushed to the hospital after a calendar shoot went amiss.

    While posing for next year’s Q Wrong-Anonymous Klan (QWAK) calendar, Boobert (Miss September) — pulling her glock out of its holster in order to get a shot with her holding her hand on the trigger seductively — literally shot herself in the foot.

    “I didn’t realize there was even a bullet in the barrel,” Boobert tweeted, in an apparent reference to the round chambered in her firearm.

    Who would be stupid enough to rob a restaurant that has armed staff? I would be feel much safer there the a restaurant in a town that outlaws guns for everyone.
