They Walked
Just heard on the Seattle news that all charges have been dropped against the Seattle cop, IRON PIG, MC, who shot the Hells Angel in Sturgis. Not surprising the judge said the officer was protected under the Federal ruling allowing LEO`s to carry "Wherever they choose to carry." Quote

Far as I was concerned it was a no brainer. Even w/o the Federal LEO carry law, whenever anyone is judged to have used an illegally possessed firearm in self defense, charges are usually no billed.
Once you determine that someone was justified in using a firearm to protect their lives, how do you then punish them for possessing it. Guess you could, but I know of no case where it's been done.

He should never have been charged. The SD DA thought state law against carrying in a bar superseded federal law. A first year law student should know better. And who was the misinformed ATF spokesperson that said HB-218 was not applicable?
Justice was served in this case. According to testimony, Detective Ron Smith was assaulted by one or more HA and shot one in self defense. As it should be, IMO.
Nothing against the HA but when one adult assaults another adult he/she is risking their life. Fighting is for kids, killing to protect yourself or another innocent person is for adults. I personally assume everyone that carries has that attitude, whether they have a permit or not. And if you carry and do not have that attitude, you better get it before you get hurt.
