Heresy!

Detroit's police chief speaks out:

"If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday.

.......

Coming from California (Craig was on the Los Angeles police force for 28 years), where it takes an act of Congress to get a concealed weapon permit, I got to Maine, where they give out lots of CCWs (carrying concealed weapon permits), and I had a stack of CCW permits I was denying; that was my orientation.

"I changed my orientation real quick. Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed."

More lip service from the former Police Chief in Cincinnati. When he was here a scant few months ago he held no such opinion and in fact is no "friend" if the legal gun owner:

In his own words: "The chief said those measures should include a ban on assault weapons, regulation of high capacity magazines, controlling Internet ammunition sales, a ban on sales to known terrorists and sellers at gun shows should be required to run background checks."

Craig seems to have a problem keeping a steady job.

Seems he's like a flag that points whichever way the wind blows. That said, he's in Detroit (home of 'misdemeanor murder') and "there are no atheists in foxholes." Guess he'll be running for office soon...
