Re: [RC] Helmet ? - Truman Prevatt

Title: “Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism
That's interesting. The first time I saw a mounted policeman it was in Baltimore in the '70's- on the streets in traffic at rush hour none the less. His helmet which was more like a motorcycle cop would wear was part of his uniform. I've seen a few other equine police patrols and the helmet is part of their uniform.

"...Is that more a tendency to ride without an helmet on the west coast?..."

The macho image of the wild west cowboy is alive and well here in Montana.? Lots of folk make all sorts of excuses, but it always comes down to "I am to macho, someone may think I am a sissy."
