What I fear the most is that if law obiding citizens are forced to get rid of their guns, it will open their home to every criminal that wants to walk in.

Today what is keeping the criminals from terrorizing a home is their fear that the home owner might have a weapon and will use it.

Another example of why stricter gun laws and the banning of so called 'assault rifles" will not make the US a safer place. Does anybody think this fine outstanding fellon cared about any of the existing laws we already have in place. Evidently not, and he paid the price for his stupidity with his life. At least the taxpayers of NC won't have to pay for him to stay in prison now that he most likely got what he was asking for.

People always put the police officer out to be the suspect, not the real suspect who is already a criminal and is out there looking to kill someone. I mean what other reason would a convicted felony who has all these charges on him need a weapon, especially when he knows he is not suppose to have it, bascially he is say I dont give a F about the law and saying anybody messes with me I will take them out to keep from having to go back to prison. Also for the people communicating threats to the FPD and the officer that shows how big of cowards they are and they dont care about the law. Prayers go out to the officer for his safety.

sounds to me like the guy who got shot was a gang person, why else would threats be made against the LEO? I can come up with no other reason. Time to crack down HARD on these gang guys and lock them up......NO PROBATION--- hard PRISON time

When I'm Queen of America, the law will say: find the punk gangbanger who's making the threats, then make them "good" on him.

Thank you to the officer for his service to us, and prayers to him and his family through this time.

So, the sweet innocent boy who was trying so hard to turn his life around (ahem, the convicted felon who was in possession of an illegal gun) has friends who call and threaten the police? And, the day after the shooting, the FPD held a gang awareness meeting in Haymount. Oh, and the threats are being investigated by the Gang Violence unit? There's that big old elephant in Fayetteville's living room again. Here's hoping the new chief is read to clean this town up.

The crminals, like the criminal element of protests, hide behind masks. Such cowards.
