[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2065620, member: 115704"] In thirty years of law enforcement, I was never asked to carry out an unconstitutional order. As a matter of fact, there were plenty of laws on the books that I choose not to enforce when I was riding alone. Peer pressure among the ranks[B] is[/B] strong. I would say that ninety=five percent of the officers I worked with would disagree with an order to break the constitution, but there would be a small (Maybe 20 %) that would readily agree to follow that type of order. Probably another fifty percent could probably be forced to follow that order, but I doubt that more than a few would be willing to get into a gunfight to take your guns. But I have been out of LE work for fifteen years and the new people they are hiring are from a different generation and mindset, so--that is my best guess. To be sure, that is from a city police point of view. The sheriff's departments would probably be less inclined to order their deputies to disregard the constitution, but the state LE may be slightly more inclined to order their officers to follow along with the federal LE, and the Federal law enforcement are the ones you will have to really watch--forgive me for feeling that way, but those are my true feelings about LE and the taking of our firearms.
