Beltrami...The 7 shots tells me that he was really in fear of his life. And it's not TV. Plenty of guys that can take a round or 3 and still kill you before they lose enough blood to keep from doing so.

I have and he is the one who called the stop an all out rookie mess. He had to deal with armed people hundreds if not more times in his career, he had been shot at but not hit before- he has returned fire and injured criminals, he was run over by a drunk driver, you name it he pretty much seen it and lived through it. He agrees that 7 rounds fired in that particular instance is nothing more than being scared,stupid, or both. As well as a few of his old co-workers that just stayed at my cabin last weekend.

I do not posses a carry permit for the simple fact I will never ask for permission for something explicitly laid out in our Constitution. Therefore I am ignorant in regards to if permit information is available to law enforcement by drivers license information or by vehicle plate registration. If is available, why is it? Does the threat of someone who legally (though self depreciatingly) asked for permission pose a certain threat? Wouldn't a better policy be to treat every citizen as though they have a concealed weapon on them? Also, to those that would issue a citation to a citizen who doesn't posses the proper permission papers; how does enforcing a law that is in direct opposition to what is written in the supreme document limiting government work?

Just out of curiosity, what instructions did Castile fail to comply with?

Buck, I'm going from memory here, I believe the charge was second degree manslaughter.

"Don't Reach"

I've been there. Cop always tells you to keep your hands in sight. One insisted on the dash. Most are happy with the steering wheel.
