Because 99.999% of us are good law abiding citizens that support law enforcement there is a tendency to be a bit too trusting. A tendency to think that all LEOs are our friends and spill our guts to Officer Friendly. This was brought home by a poster that happily rattled off his ammunition inventory to a 'friendly' LEO pumping him for information. Well a couple of days ago a retired LEO posted this link on another site as a service the gun owning public. It's long but I highly recommend sitting down and giving it your undivided attention. This doesn't just apply to official criminal investigations. It also applies to social situations.
