James, you seem to have missed my point. I was speaking in general terms since there is more to the United States than Las Vegas, and this is a discussion about bounty hunters in general. That being said, Las Vegas does not have a monopoly on crime. Every major city deals with crime and kids bringing guns to school. You talk as if you live in a fishbowl.

Yak, I gathered from Clint's post that he was referring to how police officers in England do their jobs. Perhaps you are unaware that the majority of police officers in England do their jobs WITHOUT guns. You also misspelled and misused the word "fallacy". You should really educate yourself before posting again.

As I said, Al did not use his gun in the situations in which he claims to need one. A taser worked just fine for him. Police officers and bounty hunters are in two totally different categories and receive totally different training, including different weapons training. Also, how often do police officers actually discharge their guns while in the line of duty? Some cops go ten years or longer without ever firing a shot, and they are in potential danger every day. As for who I may need one day, I live in the Las Vegas area, and I do not need the pistol packing, arrogant talking type that Al comes across as in this article.

Al is all talk. By his own admission he carries non lethal weapons such as mace and tasers, and he also admitted that when the fugitive went for his gun, he used a taser on him. Sounds like he didn't need the gun in the very situation in which he claims to need a gun. Sounds more like he is hiding behind a firearm. Dog has been at this for 30 years and it's safe to say he knows what he is doing by now. Al has only been at it for 5.
