I would say that an average CCP holder has more restraint when it comes to ‘pulling the trigger’ than today’s LEO- naturally not all, but the ones that get ‘scared’ when a dog snarls at them.
Maybe it is because WE are held to 100% accountability while the ‘average’ LEO has no restraints since he has the ‘law’ behind him.

Of course there are several reasons for the rash of ‘unqualified’ LEO types, ‘equality, affirmative action, unreasonable restrictions/laws etc’.

Give our Military 20 years of drumming the ‘anti-gay, anti-female’ youth out and you(we) will be stuck with a military that is basically run COMPLETELY by pols and do nothings.

When I enlisted at 17 it was to get away from the ‘sissy boys, mothers, sisters etc etc’.

Also our ‘sensitivities’ were harmed when the police used to basically hire former Military types....that corps (police) started going to hell when the ranks were opened to all, regardless of sex/size/etc and then they started requiring college credits.

I just can’t picture ANY police from the 40’s, 50’s 60’s just sitting around and letting a Va Tech or Columbine situation happen, some ‘hero’ (maybe self named) would have stormed the building and tried to end it, not wait for teams of Ninja Shock Troops .... and ‘trained sociologists’ to either talk them down etc....

In 1966 when Charles Whitman began shooting people at the U of Texas, there was return fire from LEOs and CIVILIANS within 30 minutes.
