Shaquille O'Neal is here to serve and protect you. (AP)

According to reports, Shaquille O’Neal applied for a lcoal gun license from the Sudbury Police Department.

If you’ll recall, Shaq began his law enforcement career as a reserve officer in the Miami Police Department. He later applied to become a deputy sheriff with the Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Sheriff’s Department while playing for the Cavaliers. Two quick thoughts on this item:

1) Well, Shaq did admit to killing off all the true centers.

2) Is Shaq simply fulfilling his proposed nickname: Blackie Bulger, the Godfather of Sudbury?

And this is reason No. 372 to be intimidated by Shaquille O’Neal.
