Which goes back to my original point. It ain't SDD's fault that law got passed and he'd be an idiot not to take advantage of it. So, why ride him over it?

Avg Joe hasn't had any training whatsoever and if he owns a gun fires it maybe annually
I am a firm believer in 2nd amendment etc.
I'm just saying you can see where the logic came in for passing the law. I'm hopeful it could lead to a broader national carry law at some point
FYI other than just law enforcement training I also shot IPSC for 6 years and have a military background......I'm pretty good with a firearm Far better than avg Joe

I'm firm believer in national carry permit, though doubt will ever see one.
That said the intention of the law passed was to allow certified law enforcement to have option to carry in all jurisdictions both for personal protection (do the job long enough and someone has it out for you)
and to have the possibility of a LEO armed and available to protect all citizens should a felony be committed in their presence.
SEC. 2. EXEMPTION OF QUALIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FROM STATE LAWS
PROHIBITING THE CARRYING OF CONCEALED FIREARMS.
Not all of us are equally trained but on average it's better than the avg Joe and the vetting process is fairly extensive in most jurisdictions
That said I am still not 100% comfortable with protecting me fully to carry in certain states
That is going to start a major pissing contest
I think the mentality that the average Joe has no training is pathetic. Is that how police feel about the average citizen? Does this mentality go beyond just firearms training?
All rhetorical...so many commandos.

I don't blame superdutydave for taking advantage of whatever he can. What I said was that I find it repulsive that the government feels it is more important for a deputy from some rural county in GA to be able to defend themselves in New York than it is for me to be able to protect my children at the same location; and at the same time that same government says that the deputy has no responsiblity or duty to provide protection for the citizen.
Guys get over it. Avg Joe is just that..most guys/gals have very limited training, shoot very infrequently and have considered little scenarios of when then might need to utilize the firearm they own. That is the truth of the majority. I'm quite sure it is not representive of those here.
Far as it goes I hope interstate reseprocity can happen at some point.
I'm done with the debate too much anger and ego.
I do my job out desire to serve not ego nor certainly the money I get paid
thoughts and opinions on leos getting special treatment when they spent their whole careers enforcing unconstitutional gun control laws on the rest of us? I think it sucks out loud.

I believe this is the reason LEOSA became law.
The life of a LEO is no more important than anyone else. The main reason a LEO and retired LEO's are given the right to carry concealed with out a permit, (but must qualify at least once a year) is that during their career they have made many enemies.
Most of these enemies are some of the worst criminals society has to offer, and some have been sent to prison by the LEO's
and some do hold a grudge and have killed LEO's upon release.
These dregs of society also target the LEO's family, usually a child, and on one occasion one of these criminals waited for a 6 year old child to return home from school and killed her in front of her father as he opened the door to their home to greet her, he later stated "he wanted the father to suffer".
This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding LEO's and the criminal element he or she deals with during their career.

So, by what you have said, a LEO has more of a right to defend and protect himself within this country than anyone else. No one else is able to defend and protect one's self in all fifty states. The last I read the second amendment applied to all the citizenry not just a select few and certainly not just for governmental officials.
Look, do you have a concealed carry permit ? Yes you probably do. Are you a LEO ? I say no. So before you judge any cop that put his time in, why don't you walk in his shoes for about 20 years
and then come back and give me your opinion.
In the mean time, you and the rest of those who oppose this law for LEO's and retired LEO's can complain, rant and rave like little kids who had their lolly pop taken away, because frankly I don't give a damn. I carry and will continue to carry all over this country and I will protect myself, my family and even you.
