OK..I guess it's time to chime in again. I know from first hand experience that many situations, which have ended tragically and senslessly, did not have to happen at all and only did because someone couldn't swallow thier pride. There is nothing wrong with pointing out to someone that they are violating a regulation or rule. It's all in the approach. For more serious violations, if you think there should be enforcement, you need to make a report. Yeah..sometimes the cops can't drop whatever they're doing to rush over. That's where you guys who feel the need to do something have to step up and insist that law enoforcement investigate the incident. Follow through and make sure it was dealt with. If it wasn't , talk to that cop's supervisor. It's easy to puff up on this site and act tough. As a person who's seen way more that my share of violent death, it really isn't worth it unless you have to defend yourself and you better be right. The vast majority of violent death that I have had to deal with was not "self defense", which is the only reason to use deadly force. Even then the state uses the "reasonable man" standard. If you think that judges and juries agree with the wild west mentality, think again. By the way..now that some of these posts have affected my pride a bit..just to let you know, I am afraid of no man. Some people err greatly when they mistake passivity for fear. Only fools who haven't seen, dealt, or been affected by violent death take it lightly. Do anyone think that confrontational situations can't go beyond a little fistfight? I personnaly don't want to feel as if I have to pack a weapon to enjoy fishing. If you do, maybe you're in the wrong sport. I'm done with this topic.
